Stephen A, in part:
In my career, when I can sit there and I am completely drained, exhausted, devoid of any kind of energy WHATSOEVER.. an hour of sleep will change my day. This man texts the coach nine hours.. nine hours before the game to say ‘I might not be able to play.’ WHO DOES THAT?! WHO DOES THAT?!?
I might be off-base here, but I’m not sure that debating sports on television is the same as battling with Marc Gasol and Serge Ibaka in a playoff game.
But I could be wrong.
