  Homeboy needs to pay more attention regarding the West, and less on promoting himself.    Very good player but how's about trying to get out of the first round of the playoffs this year?

  I never would of thought a basketball player would be doing movie reviews for NBA.com lol. Nice find lol.

Combine The combine is like preseason: football news, but devoid of content or meaning. It's all abstract potential. Free agency and the the draft are different: there, we learn that Player A will be playing for Team B. That's actual content and meaning. I give only tangential attention to the combine or preseason.
