What are you talking about with Brett Myers?

He was talking about how players the younger ones today were entitled and complained and had zero respect for the veteran leaders in the clubhouses, were a bunch of showboaters when things went right but wouldn't hustle when they made a bad play or acted like a drama queen and then complained about being too tired. He was talking about why he retired and how for some athletes its hard to admit they are done. Myers was struggling at the time but said the decision he thought would be tougher for him early in his career to one day retired was basically made easier by all the entitled punks in locker rooms. It actually wasn't an interview but a Facebook live chat. Someone asked him what was the moment he realized he wanted to retire. it was during the World Baseball classic and he complained about these guys showboating. One guy hit a HR in the 1st inning and had acted like he just won the WS and his AB with Myers live he grounded out and barely hustled to first. He used it as an example why his retirement was made easier. He talked a lot about how sports and baseball had changed as well and talked how players today are very entitled and complain about everything. Thats where I was gong with Myers there

Steph, who is dominating the game, has been insane, and has 29-7-7 on 25 shots. LeBron, who is playing with hobos, has 29-9-13 on 18 shots.

sucks

I can't believe how soft these guys are, Iggy has taken off 5 games in a row for a booboo on his knee. Get out there and play, it is the playoffs. He can rest when he is dead. 

Can you believe he over on the sidelines laughing and enjoying the game? One of the Cav players should go punch him in his face. You can enjoy a game when you aren't playing.

I haven't really paid enough attention to even know what kind of injury Iggy has to even comment on it.

I understand but are you sure you don't mean Randy?  He had a wicked arm and temper, from the Reds back in the day.  You're talking about Randy Myers.

You mean almost like they realized they weren't at the mercy of the whims of the team owners and league office?

Don't get the comment. It was more about they did what they wanted to and no matter what didn't complain about doing the job they are paid for despite the bad things they did to their bodies.

Never been a better example of the guy you hate unless he's on your team.

I would like to throw Joakim Noah in that conversation. He wasn't as colorful to put it as Green is but he's definitely a guy you hated if he wasn't on your team and loved on your team. I remember my Sixers freinds hating on Noah when he was with the Bulls. I think Birdman Chris Anderson falls into this category too. 

 
I love that the announcers are even complaining about how many more assists if all the Cavs made every shot every time LeBron passed to them or if they got fouled. Like everyone isn't playing by the same rules.
