After Talking Shit About Hali And The Pacers, Myles Turner Returns To Indy Tonight
There it is, the final nail in the coffin that holds any respect I had left for the worm with braids that is Myles Turner. Switching sides and going to your biggest rival is whatever, but talking shit about your teammates, especially the one that literally sacrificed everything in an attempt to put a ring on your finger, is all time low life behavior.
The NBA is a business, so I had no problem with Turner taking a brink’s truck of cash more to sign with another team, I even understood a little bit of the being upset with the front office for feeling like he wasn’t a priority. If I was on the trade block for 99.9% of the time I was with a team, it would probably mess with my head too. But talking out of the side of your mouth to the guys you shed blood, sweat, and tears with? That’s crossing the line. Stay the fuck off my team, you’re a shitty teammate.
Myles is a professional victim (like most athletes with an ego) so I hope tonight the Pacers actually give him a tribute video. Not because he deserves it, but giving him a tribute will not allow him to bitch and moan about being a victim, in fact it will make him look like the cry baby bitch he is if he doesn’t say thank you.
What do the fans do? I know a lot of fans started liking the pacers after the 13-14 ECF finals and grew up with Myles on the team. Pacers wouldn't have made it as far in the playoffs without Myles being an X-Factor. I don’t hold it against anyone who wants to cheer for him, and I completely understand if people want to boo his sensitive ass. But my opinion is fans should do nothing when he is introduced, or gets the ball. Just like Myles wasn’t competitive and brought nothing to the NBA finals to win the Pacers a ring. Not booing or cheering would crush Turner’s small fragile ego. A player averaging 9 points and 6 rebounds isn’t worth booing. It's a shame Mathurin isn't healthy to posterize him, so the best thing fans can do is be silent and forget about him.
