The one that ESPN begged for and pushed him to do and then all of their personalities spent years railing against him for? The one that raised $2.5 million for charity?
I know, it was awful. I agree with you. He shouldn't have done it. Maybe the response would have been slightly different, but I doubt it would have changed much.
"talents to South Beach"
Don't act like you don't announce to your wife that you're taking your talents to the bathroom when you gotta drop a deuce. You owe LeBron a debt a gratitude for that.

The lengths at which you are willing to apologize for LeBron are astounding.

Shirtless LeBron has debunked the gsw rumor that he started to the press. We have come full circle.

Donovan Mitchell is better than club foot Gordon Haywards cracker ass. That situation played out perfectly for the jazz. If they can hit on an all star in a deep draft this year they are in business.

Any player taken after Ball in this year's draft I root for to be better than Ball

This year's draft class has been pretty good considering Ball and fultz are barely NBA players.

Untouchable Terry has a few good games and all the white freckled gingers in the greater Boston area start pounding their keyboards.

Well, they like rozier enough to put smart on the trade block for a 1st round pick. C's are second best on defense in pts allowed per game. Losing Smart would affect this, but it's still an easy call to take a first rounder for him.

Nobody is paying a first rounder for smart. He's horrible.

A little dramatic, but he's not worth a first given how much teams value first rounders now. Especially since he is an expiring.

Smart averages 30 min a game and is a key contributor on defense for a team with the third best record in the league. He's not horrible.

He has one NBA level skill. You could plug David Nwaba into Smart's role on the Celtics and get the same results. Is David Nwaba fetching first round value?

Even if you ignore the fact he is an expiring contract he has 4 years of mid 30 percent fg shooting. Compare him to an Andre Roberson, who is a great defender, terrible shooter, but posts a respectable field goal percentage because he doesnt play like a total asshole. Marcus Smart averages 10 points a game on 35% shooting. He's horrible.
