    Purist? You must mean loyal. You’re not loyal to team you support/argue for. That’s ok but wrong word choice.

    I wonder if Shaq's stance isn't a little hypocritical? I recall him missing 20 games a year in LA and saying that because he got hurt on company time that he would rehab on company time. That's not the same thing but if anything his approach would be worse. Philly is fully onboard with what Embiid is doing whereas the Lakers wanted Shaq to be ready for the season and he instead postponed his surgery until just before the start of training camp. How is that any better?

    I don't have any loyalty to any team period, since the 90s Bulls disbanded. I dont live in the U.S and whenever I've gone to a game live it's with the idea that I wanted to see a particular player(s).

    When I say 'purist', I mean someone could argue it shouldn't matter if the featured star(s) is playing or not because one is going to watch the game and not individuals. So I believe I used the correct term for what I intended to express on a personal level.
