You get paid a princely sum for the whole package, that includes practice. If you have a legit and necessary reason to miss a practice then speak up in advance.

Really? Nobody? Ok, I’ll say it.

We’re talkin’ ’bout practice. Not a game, not a game, not a game.

And that's what annoys us - 10 years from now, when somebody's compiling the best shooting guards in NBA history list, will Iverson be that guy who â€œjust misses,â€

TBL, highly doubtful.

If this 12-year vet wants to take Thanksgiving off to be with his family, where’s the beef?

Sounds like the Favre apologists in Green Bay…if they tell you to go to work, you go to work unless you have a real reason beyond “I didn’t wanna”
