Paulo Alves

And so that's mostly why I didn't jump to a conclusion there.

And mostly why my take on it, I've talked about why I didn't have a take on it, but why my take on it even now is going to be taking both scenarios into consideration, which is, well, if it's true, well, if it's not true.

Well, if it's not true, it is...

I would say that there's a good amount of evidence that makes it a little bit hard to be fully not true or fully a coincidence.

Just because of the people who follow the account, the people that the account has blocked, you know, some close friends from KD answering to stuff that only KD would know, you know.

Who knows?

There's also how much of those screenshots are true, obviously, how many of them are made up, what parts are real, what parts aren't.

If they are real, I do think that it does not reflect well on a KD, talking about his teammates like that.

I'm not an athlete, so I've played sports in my life, but I don't know how common it is for these guys to, even if they don't voice it,

feel some of the same thoughts that KD expressed in that group chat towards their teammates if they are heated coming off a loss, right?

If you asked anybody on this team coming off a loss, hey, how do you feel about whoever played?

And they were being 100% honest and unfiltered and not a media response, how many of them wouldn't, you know, defer a bit of blame or distribute a bit of blame and then criticize their teammates?

Who knows?

I like to think people are not like that, but we're not perfect.

And then not being perfect doesn't mean you're the worst person in the world immediately.

So regarding the sports part of it or the teammates part of it, I mean, I would be pretty upset, especially if I were Capari, because first thing going right, it's criticism of his play.

And I am sure, and we've seen clips of KB, you know, kind of complaining on the court about Lingon's defense, right?

Perhaps more respectfully than the comment that the message that is alleged that he sent.

The Jabari one, you know, the word used, it's a bit disrespectful beyond basketball.

And I wonder, especially considering Jabari idolizes KD, I do wonder how that one will shake out.
