of him unwilling to make sacrifices for the team when this guy came back during the latter half of the season when it was risky to do so after suffering a severe injury to play for the Pacers when they had a shot at the 8th seed in the playoffs

And I'm not going to go in on his game - we all know how selfish he plays
