Counterpoint: Rick is just a bully and a jackass. Was he treating Salah Mejri "like a dog" because he thought Mejri had some untapped All Star potential that he could coax out of him? No, he was just being a bully and abusive against a fringe NBA player because he held all the power in the dynamic and he got off on it. NBA Players expect to be treated like any other line of high end entertainment talent that fans collectively pay billions of dollars to watch, because that's exactly what they are. The bottomline is it's a talent acquisition and retainment league, more so than an X's and O's league. I promise you that Daryl Morey wouldn't let his coaches treat his talent that way.
