Suns create MVPs. Chris Paul is one.

I’m not disagreeing per se, it just sounds like a generic line we hear from anyone in the NBA culture.Yeah, not sure what you're doing here? If you disagree fine, but this team has not played the same since around the time that Monty came back from his Covid break. That team was clearly better than the Mavericks, this current version is going to be challenged by most opponents until players such as Payne, CJ and Jae return to form.

Taunting. You can read Booker's lips at the end. Pretty clear he said "F***ing soft!"
Isn't that pretty tame for on the court banter? I thought taunting was more for the overt stuff.Taunting. You can read Booker's lips at the end. Pretty clear he said "F***ing soft!"
I don't like grandstanding and Booker already has enough reputation problems throughout the league so I really wish he'd stop that crap. But yeah, I've never once heard Legler or any of them go after Steph, Lebron, Shaq or any of the stars that routinely go (or went) much further than Booker's post-shot statue pose.So Tim Legler was on JJ Redick’s podcast and he was complaining about Booker holding his follow through after he made a 3 pointer in game 2……
Like seriously…..that’s a joke. You’ve got LeBron making HMD gestures after a 3 pointer, Steph shimmying, Ja doing the griddy but you get on Book for holding a follow through….give me a break. And I don’t hate on player celebrations but that’s excessive. I’d expect that from Ric Bucher, not Legs.
I think the argument would be that those guys are just trying entertain the crowd, but Booker just holding a pose is being arrogant. Of course I would say there is a level of arrogance and trying to show up the opponent with all of those celebrations as well. Holding a pose is simply more Booker's style of celebration as apposed to doing something with more of an outward expression like a shimmy, dance, hand gestures that these other guys do.I don't like grandstanding and Booker already has enough reputation problems throughout the league so I really wish he'd stop that crap.

Always the pleasant conversationalist.Get over yourselves!
Holding the pose? Are you guys TRYING to find negatives? Who cares?
Can't answer the question again Steve?Always the pleasant conversationalist.
I thought they were rhetorical questions but I'll answer them if that's what you want. No, I wasn't trying to be negative, in fact I was responding to the negativity of Legler with the point that he was making a big deal out of something minor. As for "who cares", apparently you do - otherwise why the not so pleasant response?Can't answer the question again Steve?
