It's easy to forget this now when Mr. Triple Double has become cemented in fans heads as a stat padding me-first player but way back before that MVP season that really started it all, his talent and relentless aggressiveness were the driving forces in OKC become a contender. KD is a great scorer but he's never been able to lead a team on his own. I think Russ is hated now for a lot of the same reasons Kobe was hated. He'd rather do it himself than wait to see what his teammates can do. Both of them definitely took that tendency into the negative when smarter plays were available to them but it's hard to find a genuine superstar who doesn't toe that line and end up on the wrong side of it from time to time.
Disgusting...

Good news...
"The Miami Heat vehemently condemns the use of any form of hate speech,'' the team statement said. "The words used by Meyers Leonard were wrong and we will not tolerate hateful language from anyone associated with our franchise. To hear it from a Miami Heat player is especially disappointing and hurtful to all those who work here, as well as the larger South Florida, Miami Heat and NBA communities.''
He also lost his gaming sponsorships already with ASTRO Gaming, Origin PC and Scuf Gaming all cutting ties.

Tony Snell hits a buzzer beating three to win the game for the Hawks over the Raptors.
The Hawks only have two more wins than the Kings and did the basketball equivalent of taking out a second mortgage on their house to bet on a dark horse at the Kentucky Derby. At least they still have most of their draft capital going forward but they've essentially turned into the Kings the year Vlade gave away a bunch of assets to use cap space on a bunch of guys we didn't need.
