The reporting was that the alleged burner accounts that KD had were a significant distraction for the rockets. ... This is an actual real problem if he's talking this much shit about his teammates.

Joel Embiid has successfully shifted his career narrative with this series win

I think Joel Embiid's narrative is shifting. Shifting but not [yet] shifted. ... Shifting-ING is different than -ED. Narrative shifted for sure. ... He's now shown that he's not like just a regular season guy. He's not a choker.

The legal landscape currently supports the idea that the NCAA has lost significant enforcement leverage.
