Why? Because the only people that still pay attention to the NBA are as vile as the trashy players....

The lack of edged weapons makes people think that we don’t have gladiatorial games. But we basically do. Bread and Circuses. And the people like a little blood now and again.

The NBA??? Is that worthless game still around??? I quit watching that worthless league several decades ago. There are only about 4 or 5 teams that have ANY hope of winning the title and all the rest are just cannon fader for those 4 or 5 teams. I remember the Atlanta Hawks moved from St. Louis and had a very good team. They have been in Atlanta since the late 1960s. The Braves came about 1966 also. The Braves have won ONE stinking championship in those 54 years in Atlanta. The stinking, and I mean their play STINKS, Atlanta Hawks HAVE NEVER BEEN TO THE NBA FINALS in my memory. The old St. Louis Hawks won the title back in the 1950s or so. Nearly 65 years or so since that stinking franchise won anything in that worthless league. I quit watching when Bird and Magic retired. The league was getting worthless even then. Lakers and Celts, Lakers and Celts, maybe throw in Houston once in a while back then. The maybe the Seattle Supersonics. But, for the most part, that league stinks. They have a first round draft that ONLY MAYBE 10 players will make the league. All the other 1st round draft choices are worthless and never will play. Bench warmers at best. A worthless league.

when KD actually left, there was respectful applause throughout the arena.

At least the players tried to calm the crowd down. They knew that it was the wrong reaction to have.

[[“Why are they cheering for his injury? Come on man.”]]

Because unfortunately society is cranking out a lot of dipshits- that’s why, excuse my language!

How much cheering would there be if Trump or someone in his immediate family were hurt?

The arena was full of non-real-fans and bandwagon jumpers. The real fans, like myself and many others, mostly could not afford to get into the arena. As soon as I saw that, I said “that’s not cool”. You don’t cheer an injury, even if you’re happy that Durant is out.

I did not notice they were cheering when KD was hurt. I did, however, take note of them singing their national anthem. They had a guy come out and start it, then he shut up and let the crowd sing it. It was incredible. I have never seen people sing our anthem like that and it was impressive. Literally the entire arena was singing “Oh Canada” at the top of their lungs. Amazing.

So, Durant and his fellow teammates can smear the President and refuse a trip to the White House but we’re supposed to feel sorry for one of them when fans cheer after he gets hurt? I don’t feel the least bit sorry for him.
