Gobert was reported to have been careless however, I'm concerned for his career in the NBA. He's an emotional guy. I don't think he would want to continue especially with the reaction from fans and how people in the league are putting the blame on him.

This is complicated. sad

Rudy's teammate Donovan Mitchell tested positive for Coronavirus.


Players from teams the Jazz have played within the past 10 days were told to self-quarantine, sources told ESPN’s Brian Windhorst. Those teams are the Cleveland Cavaliers, New York Knicks, Boston Celtics, Detroit Pistons and Toronto Raptors.

Since playing Utah… The Cavaliers have faced the Celtics, Nuggets, Spurs and Bulls. The Knicks have faced the Thunder, Pistons and Wizards. The Celtics have faced the Thunder and Pacers. The Pistons have faced the Knicks.

Those Jazz opponents have faced other teams. And on and on. The NBA is connected.

....And he was ready to play last night...scary thing is he showed no signs or symptoms.... perfectly healthy and was supposed to play yesterday, not even a headache...

This is reaching scary dimensions. The only positive here is it seems the younger you are the better your chances of survival.

I would be suprised borderline relieved if it's just these two but I can't shake the feeling there are more players affected

This year he's averaging 9.4 rebs, 2.4 blks and 1.5 steals. In 2017 he averaged 11.1 rebs, 2.6 blks and 1.5 steals. Last year he averaged 12.0 rebs, 1.6 steals and 2.4 blks. In 2014 he averaged 10.2 rebs, 1.5 steals and 2.9 blks. His defensive win shares for 2014, 2016 and 2017 were 4.2, 5.1 and 4.9 respectively. His defensive win shares for this season is 4.1. Notice he hasn't surpassed any of those categories this year. Or are you not a numbers guy again? grin

(I'm waiting for you to tell me that there are things that don't show in the box score cheesy)
In a team with Dwight, McGee and LeNomad you want him to average the exact same numbers he was averaging in New Orleans?? Are you sure your agbari is functioning at all?

Did KD and Steph's numbers remain the same or dropped when they ended up in the same team?

Very careless. Heard even his teammates affirmed. There is time for clowning and time to be serious

Sometimes there is need to face consequences for silly actions. Would have cost him nothing to show basic decorum. This is an illness that is highly communicable and has killed thousands. I saw a general lack of seriousness and laxity among quite a number of Americans. Some even went as far as calling it a hoax or common flu and were accusing people of scare mongering.

Lol, in that case, how is he now a DPOY candidate? You're just contradicting yourself up and down. Continue cheesy

Stephen and KD's numbers dropped and so none of them were able to win MVP, how is AD any different with Dwight, JaVale and Bron? grin

Stop asking me stupid question like you have been doing all day and all night. Ask your fellow Lakers fans and players alike. Ask pundits that have him and Giannis as primary contenders and stop asking me silly questions

Same way Steph and KD couldn't win MVP is the same way AD and Bron shouldn't because they more or less cancel each other out, a lot more than Dwight, Javale do to AD defensively as you can see there is little or no drop in his numbers apart from rebounds

Giannis is the rightful MVP, LeNomad is obviously a contender. I don't know who has argued otherwise. You're hallucinating now

Honestly, stop making a fool of yourself. grin. Stop making deductions when you don't have enough information from the other end. We are obviously talking about who the MVP is right now. So there can always be a contender until there is a winner. When someone opines that someone is the MVP, it's probably a momentary assertion, unless the other party says otherwise. You can always ask to be sure. grin. So in real-time(since it seems there's some sort of time dilation on your end grin), saying someone is the MVP at a point in time does not mean, he'll get the crown. The clause was "Giannis is the rightful MVP". Meanwhile, you asked a question i am yet to answer. grin.I will get back to you.

First of all, you didn't need to use a total of 4 grinning emojis to hide your sadness. And secondly, how do y'all now claim LeBron is an MVP contender when just a few days ago, y'all said AD was more valuable to the team. Abi can there be two real MVP contenders from one team?

How can one man be hated this much? I mean, I know greatness comes with a little criticism, but this is just outrageous. Jordan never received this much hate. The haters will say bs like "it's because of his fans that we hate him so much", but that's just giving a useless excuse to continue in your baseless hate.

People on this thread would legit commit suicide if LeBron wins the championship and wins another MVP to match their forced goat, MJ.

man, lebron is great! Am a gsw fan and my God, that guy? I think to me, he contributes to winning more than any superstar past or present . He can do everything(his free throw shooting is a bit shaky), but i got no gripes with that man.

That's the spirit bro

People on this thread don't know I had MJ as the GOAT at one time. But as LeBron went on doing what he was doing, I just had to swallow my pride and crown him GOAT. The transition wasn't easy, but it was necessary. Perhaps I didn't watch enough Jordan to stick with him till now, but you can say that of virtually everyone on this thread. Most of them don't even like or know MJ that much, they just want to choose anybody that ain't LeBron grin

Baba you just dropped bars !!!

The hate of Lebron is out of this world. I just don't get it

Whatever Lebron does, they must find an excuse to bash him or at least diminish his achievements. As in, wetin that man go do that is humanly achievable to be respected? We are talking about someone who is historical top 10 in almost every statistic that matters in this game. At this point, he must simply go on with his life, there is no hope.

But when he dies, them go form tears
