Oscar's not winning a lot of support. Claiming that all the current players, coaches, and front office people in the league are too stupid to figure out how to win is kind of a tough argument to sell.

She apparently missed out on studying some Greek tragedies. That hubris thing can be a real kick in the ass.

Derek Fisher hits the trifecta. Needs to move his thought locus north.
