During a blowout of the Chicago Bulls by the Sacramento Kings on Monday night, February 3, 2014, Derrick Williams after a steal, went speeding downcourt all alone with what many watching figured to be a typical Derrick Williams monster slam dunk! But instead, Williams blew the stuff after he tried to showboat against a Bulls team who were down 28 points with 3:10 left in the fourth quarter.

After sitting him on the bench, coach got on Williams, and rightfully so, as you will hear from a reporter at the game. There really was no need to do what Williams attempted to do and thus he deserves our C’MON MAN!! of the week. Watch:
One of the many reasons why the NBA has now become a tedious bore ! The game was meant to be about the teams and now it has become more about individual feats and how much money the players are earning on and off http://www.forbes.com/sites/kurtbadenhausen/2013/01/23/kobe-and-lebron-top-list-of-the-nbas-highest-paid-players/> the court .

As far as I am concerned David Stern’s step-down as commissioner has not come around quick enough . Unfortunately , his successor Adam Silver is likely to be a carbon copy of his predecessor .
The idiots who believe that LeBron James will opt out of his contract to return to Cleveland or Los Angeles need to get a clue , especially as it relates economics .

Never believed any of that crap about LeBron boltying from a championship team to return to the inept and untalented Cavaliers.
As for the NBA being more about the individual player and his ‘feats’ as opposed to the ‘team’, I beg to disagree with you about the NBA alone falling prey to this. It happens in every sport. How many baseball players will hit a long shot, drop their bat, and then stand by home plate, self-absorbed in what they had just done? Ever watch the way some players in the NFL enter the end zone after a brilliant catch or run back for a TD? Ever watch Rob Gronkowski in the end zone? Ever see what a DL does after a QB sack? And you of all people Al recall the antics and self-celebration of Neon Dejon…Wasn’t that all about individual feats? Goin’ on for years…

It (NBA) has become about the persona of the players what they’re said to be earning and individual feats. I mean you went overboard with a piece .a on ‘melo’s sixty-two point game and now you’re saying the league itself is team oriented ? The NBA isn’t even marketed as team sport , but by of the visibility of the league’s most high-profiled players .
Deion Sanders is a self-absorbed ##shole for one ! Two, his(Sanders’) idiocy and the Marshawn Lynch meltdown with Lynch’s use of profanity live on air (NFL Network) , but yet the press chastises Richard Sherman ?
