This next generation is gonna have no resolve, imagine the next batch of stars... nikkas will be taking mental health days over tweets :laff:

bruh…I HATE to make comparisons to the 90s/90s players but can you imagine any top team player thinking back then about being scared to come back and ruin team chemistry in a win or go home scenario…get the entire fukk outta here smh lmao

Remember when they used to say a star at 70% is better than a role player at 100% and that’s why they pushed through things.

When did these dudes get so soft that they won’t even suit up for a playoff game over some fukking “mental issues”.

Go out there and be a damn decoy if it means you can get your team an extra basket or two.

It's incredible. The Pelicans should've had a PR rep tackle the reporters and drag them out of the room before even allowing a question like this to get asked.

And I’m a huge fan and rooting for homie, but I’m just struggling to understand how saying this especially right now helps anyone or anything…let alone his own mental wellbeing…it just adds more pressure and criticism…the pelicans best I can tell we’re giving him cover…the prevailing narrative was that they were over cautious, if anything, protecting him (and their investment) from himself….don’t wanna come off like I understand or have any experience with the mental toll of pro sports, or making light of it…I’m just genuinely confused
