This is the sort of uneducated dribble that you can read a lot on these forums lately. How can you make such a comment without knowing the first thing about what Tyreke is dealing with?!
For the record, I haven't got a clue what the issue is but its has been evident for the entire season that something is NOT right. Now if as someone suggested in this thread that it might be depression, then the comments that you are making are absolutely self centered and uneducated.
I disagree. With all due respect to Tyreke and his family, his job is a professional basketball player, and he's a significant part of an organisation that relies heavily on him. I don't think he needs to publicly announce his problems, but he should have at least told his head coach that he is struggling with personal issues. No disclosure needed, just "Hey coach, I'm sorry I've been playing so badly. It's not just the foot, I've also got some personal problems which I'm not comfortable sharing, and I don't think it's fair to the team for you to make me the focus of the offense right now."
By still allowing the coaches to give him the ball to try and do something, only to turn it over or miss layups, Tyreke is the one being selfish. You have about 8 other guys putting in the time out there, guys who worked hard in the offseason, guys who came into camp in great shape, and largely because of Tyreke's play the team isn't winning. It's understandable to play badly because of issues off the court, it's not so understandable for him to not let at least PW know about it for at least a month. Fans are paying to watch the Kings, and I don't think it's fair for good money to be paid to watch the same someone screw up every game.
If a professional singer on tour suddenly has some problems back home, is he excused from still performing his best at a concert that people pay actual money for? Fans can be understanding, but it has to be done in the right way. You cancel the tour, cite personal reasons that are undisclosed, give everyone their money back. That's how it works. You don't continue your frikin tour for two months singing off pitch every concert and then at the end of it all say "sorry folks, I've got personal problems and so I've been singing like a dead horse"
I sincerely hope that whatever the issue is it will be solved and things will be ok for Tyreke and his family. All I'm saying is letting his employers or coach know about them a little earlier would have been more professional. Sometimes professionalism needs to be sacrificed for personal reasons, and that may be the case here, but the fact is it would have been MORE PROFESSIONAL if he didn't wait till now to voice it out.
