So when Paul George expressed how he felt about being bothered in that disneyland bubble people just made fun of him, then expected him to go out and perform like a world-beater anyway.
Other players that felt a similar way just kept quiet after that.
The only player that had actuual real mental health issues was Royce White, and he was not only ignored, but ended up out of the NBA as a result of it.
Ben Simmons and Klutch are writing their own story. Refusing to meet team doctors, refusing to practice, refusing to report to the team, then claiming an injury AFTER he was traded.
He killed the benefit of the doubt himself. Might trick one team, but not 2
That’s one way of looking at it …
PG was during the pandemic before people claimed to be concerned with mental health.
Again I’m not saying I believe him … I’m just saying mental health is tricky.
Ben went to his own doctors if I’m not mistaken and If he indeed lost trust in the organization why would you put your mental well being in the hands of the people doing everything in their power to make you play for them.
Don’t forget he asked to be traded a year before all of this and still played.
I don’t have a dog in this fight I just want to know when I can call an athlete soft and mentally weak and when I can’t. I’m lying I’m still calling them soft regardless I just think the outrage is wild.
