yeah, these guys might get over it, but who the hell is gonna trust him again? These dudes live with each other for half a year and if there is no trust between players, then there's no camaraderie, which is absolutely crucial for a successful team.Let me put a little background to this..
I've played ball, played multiple sports for varying degrees of time (football was very short, that team was horrible). I've coached. I've mentored. I teach currently.
I've dealt with kids long enough, and I am an adult enough to know that they will **** up royally. And if you're lucky, it will only happen once for a kid. Some kids it happens to over and over. You tell them to do better, where they went wrong, and you let it go.
If you're not going to let it go, you're just as much of a child yourself.
I don't want to hear about bonds, and team, and all this other imaginary nonsense. As a coach, you let them air it out, and you let it go forever after that. You say your peace, you lay into him, and you let Russell explain himself before the team, ask for forgiveness, and be done with it. He ****** up. He made a mistake. He didn't even release the damn tape.
If you're going to keep acting like a pompous ***, and hold a grudge for some **** that you were not even involved in, then sorry there's no place for you on this team.
Clearly Russell screwed up.. But spare me about your bro code, and your man cards. I'm 26 years old. There's far more pressing things for me to worry about than the bro code.
There's things I would do at 20, I'd frown upon at 26. Things against my moral compass. But guess what, you learn from them.
But if you're Jordan Clarkson, and are going to be upset for something that you were not party to.. Well then you should possibly mind your business as well.
most of these dudes in the NBA are from the hood, and as dumb as you think it might be, there's one rule in the hood and that's "don't ever snitch on your homies"
this wasn't a crime swaggy committed, he didn't stab nobody, he didn't rob another teammate, he told De'angelo a true story because he felt like he could trust him without having the convo being recorded, or even worse, having that video out on social media. NO nba player will ever fu*k with deangelo and trust him like that again. i'll guarantee that.
