“In a good way, some of them are really impressive and inspiring in the way they approach the game every night. But others that I used to like, now it’s like I’m just not sure they deserve it. Like they don’t seem like they put as much work in as I thought.”
Does tie shoe laces = bad work ethic? Lol wtf are you on?
DeMar was a high flying athlete that developed legitimate skills over the course of his career, you can fault him for a number of things but work ethic ain’t one of them. He continued to develop a new skill literally every single season during his prime.
But he’s still a bum, not tying his shoes means he is not playing the best he can play. Refusing to take that little step is the opposite of drive and work ethic, i.e. he’s a bum
