This is why I give athletes credit. After every performance, good or bad, they answer tough questions and explain themselves. Musical artists rarely if ever give interviews, and when they do, it's strictly to promote and only to hand-picked outlets.

So @KingJames helicopters from his NY residence to Philly for home games? Wilt Chamberlain took a train from his NY residence to Philly when he played for the Warriors in the early '60s. On the night he scored 100 points against the Knicks in Hershey, Pa., he drove back to NY with 3 Knicks players, including Willie Naulls. And he fell asleep as they talked about the game.

Karl-Anthony Towns openly discussed his frustration with contract negotiations this summer: “Simply put, I want to do something that can keep the team together, and that can work with the Knicks and also values me. And, I mean, none of those things have come close to happening. ... I just won a championship, you thought it would be pretty easy."

When Wilt Chamberlain played for the 76ers, he lived in Manhattan. Had a nightclub in Harlem. Took his Great Danes for a walk in Central Park. All because he drove back to NYC after every home game.

A helicopter for LeBron James could be heard outside Sixers practice while Anfernee Simons was speaking to reporters Tuesday, per @mcten

Bron is using the helicopter to commute back to NYC, where he plans to split his time this season. The trip takes around 40-45 minutes 🚁
