Aaron Bruce not re-signed by Sydney Kings

While I certainly don't understand the publics fascination with celebrity per se, I also cannot fathom how others despise those "celebrities" with such passion.

As I understand it the couple in question are Kings fans and like using social media to talk about the team - and they have a truck load if followers due to their perceived celebrity status with the general public. How is this anything but good for the kings and sport in general? And why Mick do you despise them with such passion? (Not meaning to single you out - you're just the most recent post I've seen)

I liked Aaron Bruce a little more after reading his tweets.

my tweet wasn't even about that......


When it happened I didn't realize he was out of contract, either way it's a pretty strange thing to pick a public fight about.

People who talk positive about the NBL need to be encouraged, regardless of whether their on Home and Away or Gardening Australian.
God knows the league needs all the positive help it can get.

Where's the love..........

@Pete

Spot on.

very unprofessional but damn funny

:highfive: Arron Bruce, too bad the Riverboys are gonna get him now haha, I wouldn't head over to Yabbie Creek alone

Am I bad for saying I actually like Bruce for his hoops?
Would love him back here, can run the point beautifully..and surely the new coach could pull this so called attitude into line....

Are you guys trying to match the immaturity of the twitter war in this thread?

Personally, I couldn't give two shits what Aaron Bruce tweets normally. This is just entertaining.

Can't we all just agree they're both douchebags and enjoy this while it lasts? #lovedonthate

All abuse and criticism?

Oh yes, not getting a good luck tweet from a person pre-game is one of the most degrading things a human could ever confront.

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights clearly prohibits such torture.

Players are in the public spotlight. Of course they are going to get some criticism.

Bruce isn't the first and he won't be the last.

The other players in the league are often subject to similar criticism, but don't bite the line (probably because they are a bit more mature).

Ricey,

There's a line though isn't there?

Abusing those who help to promote your team isn't the smartest. Forgetting about his contractual obligations?

I for one can live with NBL publicity from the likes of Homicide, J.Hodge (even though he took it too far) and other imports. Their trash talk is exciting.

But when your Aaron Bruce and struggling to get a gig as it is and you offend those who help to pay your living, its just stupidity.

7 points?

No one is touching him.

There are College players out there who could come back rated a 3 and be much much more productive than him:

Damon Heuir: 15.5ppg at SUU. Just finished his senior year

Joel Naburgs: 10 ppg at Stetson


Or they could use Bruce's salary and Henry's salary to try to lure back Delly!
