2484510, Bad teammate? Wrong post title, tonto...and LOL literally at the notion Posted by vee-lover, Fri Oct-16-15 11:32 AM
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 smh at trying to prop up Me(L)o as a team player when this is the same guy who played in the all-star game last season and then shut it down once it was over
And I'm not going to go in on his game - we all know how selfish he plays
