Let's not forget when he asked for a trade, almost left in FA, or refused to shoot the ball in a playoff game to prove a point. That's another thing. It's insane how entitled people feel to athletes. The same people who get winded from a brisk walk. So quick to try to take away respect away from people doing things with their full life that they couldn't even last a week doing.

It goes without saying that they are expected to be fully prepared to play their sport which includes being mentally and physically ready to play. When they don't meet their expectations then there will be criticism. I don't blame her for taking herself first before her sport but it comes with critique.
