Legendary player and his Olympic performances have been incredible. But I don't know if "classy ambassador" is apt. KD literally has admitted to having multiple burner accounts on more than one platform so he can attack criticism, etc. It comes across as incredibly strange to me. You're one of the best players ever. It's ARod-ish without the total awkward narcissism thing.
dude made a financial commitment to Bowie State University, an HBCU, to upgrade their whole gym and athletic facilities but responding to internet trolls is what is embedded in your mind.

It’s funny when you read comments that imply Cam would get his butt whooped etc. If you’ve known guys like Cam, you know they are good at everything AND they’re crazy. He’s a freak. He can play any sport and he can compete at any game. He ain’t going to be an easy mark in a scrap either. He and his brother are rugged and they aren’t wired for going down easy. Kid would probably throw a perfect combination and finish with an uppercut and people would be saying, “Cam should be a boxer”.

It can be a fine line with guys like Cam. We've all known that super intense guy on your team or friend group that bugs you. But Cam seems to be that guy that the whole team loves. Watch the bench when he's playing and the interviews after the game. They aren't looking at him like a "try hard". They're going nuts. Also, note the confidence they have in his shot already. I looked up his highlights from last night. At 4 minutes left in the 2nd quarter he pulls up for a 3. GG Jackson (#45) throws his hands in there air as soon as Cam releases the ball.

Edited to ask a question: Would Cam be where he is if he had stayed at Rutgers? Not crapping on Rutgers or Pike. But did the exposure at UConn and showing he's a winner get him the two-way contract that is giving him this opportunity? In the end, he needs to earn it, but I can't help think that there are other guys out there that just never get that chance.
I’ve seen reports that the Suns players were referring to Cam as “Walmart Luka” before the game during warm ups. I don’t blame him one teeny bit for talking smack when he had the chance. And he didn’t start it.

That situation was years ago.

His brother Pat does have a two-way with the Warriors and he didn’t play for a big time winning program. Cam is better than him too I believe in college.

If you’re good at basketball teams will find you no matter where you are. Dame Lillard never even played in the tournament (I think)
