Topic that has nothing to do with Orlando/Disney/Trump with nice discourse.

Rafa waddles in and immediately starts humble bragging and attacking posters.

Rafa then posts "Why does everyone on here attack me?".

Never too early to start bragging and being an asshole for the board's chubby autistic.
I noon..how lazy are you?

Grow up..I'm just being factual and beating haters to the punch...why are you even commenting at me?
You're bragging and being an asshole. Just being yourself Artie.
No..you have mental issues...none of that happened..its all entirely in your preprogrammed distant mind...
Next time dont trust your judgement...its wrong

I'm telling y'all, put Arty on ignore. It really, REALLY improves the experience here.

Going back to the original question, I think the odds are meaningfully greater than 0 than he will never play another NBA game. This last minute backing out of playing game 4 stinks to high heaven. The fragility hasn't magically disappeared and I suspect a jump shot that could help that mental fragility hasn't suddenly appeared either.

I want to disagree with you, only because I think the dude has legit talent. But man, his mentality is just bad. I once thought that maybe Pop could get him to perform well, but I'm beginning to think it's beyond even his expertise. It's been said, but it really does seem like the kid just doesn't want it.

Don't get me wrong. I think the odds are very high that he plays again. But up until yesterday's announcement that he wouldn't play game 4, I thought the odds were essentially 100% (absent a career ending injury or getting hit by a bus). Now I have an itsy bitsy bit of doubt. The guy looks to be that fragile.

This man is still owed $109M in guaranteed money. I get mental health is a thing but he needs to get that shit figured out, in part because NYC sports media is more ruthless than Philly's.

I’m loving every minute of this. Even before this yearlong meltdown, Ben was already as unlikable as they come going back to LSU. Fuck this guy, I hope none of this comes with a happy ending.

I wonder if he claims 'mental health' issues again next season and looks to collect his salary without getting on the court?

He left so many bread crumbs to tell us that this non competitive spirit was in there. I was too blind by my bias of him as a Sixer to see them.

- Not playing for Australia

- Countless videos of him shooting from range in practice but never in games

- Free throw percentage getting worse when the moment was biggest

- Passing up an easy layup under the net for Thybulle to go 1 of 2 at the line in the last game of the Hawks series last season

- Blaming Embiid for the Toronto series that Kawhi hit the shot

- His overall production in half-court offense

He's one of the least aware "stars" in NBA history.
