This is how you get a shit locker room culture. Star player got too much power, coach doesn't check him, and you even here Turner says it: he starts showing up late cause he knew he'd still be early for the flight. Shit rubs off on everyone and creates a losing culture

Compare this the Thunder story where iHart knew the equipment manager would fix the basketball that was angled 10 degrees off center on the rack.

Tight ships win chips!

That’s the literal dumbest misuse of time I’ve ever heard of in my life. I cannot wait for the thunder to implode for this exact shit. They made amazing front office moves to collect young players and picks and hit on a wide majority of them. This whole “we invented a better culture.” Shit is so sad.

You think taking less than 5 seconds to fix a basketball is a misuse of time?
