NBA

The Simmons situation I think can only be described as bad luck. First overall pick, mental midget, all time choke play followed by an all time temper tantrum. Rivers didn't help but Ben was and has been such a weird dude since then.

This one is a little less bad luck but I also think Harden is being a little silly. I imagine Morey reneged on their handshake deal, so he's technically a liar but James was also all over the place in the playoffs and last season in general. I don't think he's being realistic if he thinks he's worth a max now.

I certainly won't say Morey made him but he did take a chance on him and helped him make a ton of money. That's the other thing. James has more money than he could spend. We're talking about a paycut. Morey is still willing to pay him millions and millions of dollars but Harden is again throwing a temper tantrum.

This is a situation that has probably happened to every team in the league at some point but Harden's the only one calling his boss a liar and causing a circus.
