I’m a max contract basketball player who can’t shoot 
I’m a max contract number one draft pick who has to ride the pine in high leverage minutes because I can’t perform the primary objective of my sport
I’m sorry it is just suddenly the funniest thing in the world to me that you literally cannot use the guy you maxed out whenever a game matters because he’s worse than just playing with four guys on the court. it’s the most hilarious dynamic in sports
imagine having to bench patrick mahomes the last five minutes of every half because if he’s touched by the other team he suddenly turns around backwards and punts the ball out of his own end zone
clayton kershaw except every time he racks up a three ball count he pitches to center field
I mean yes doc rivers and tobias harris and even embiid have a big slice of the pie here but somebody explain to me how the hell any lineup with any coach and players you can name is supposed to work when a cornerstone player literally cannot be in the game if it’s high stakes
the dude is an instant clock stopping possession change, like the konami code for the opponent. touch him and the clock stops & you get the ball back. it’s truly incredible shit.
I’m sorry. that loss was legendary. I gotta lose my mind for a minute
