Could I find them for you? It most likely can be found in most of his highlights tapes from College. I'd have to go back and watch those tapes and find the specific ones but watching him during games he did only seem to look for guys to pass too who would shoot and he got an assist. He also tried to get too cute with passes which led to some of his terrible turnovers seen. He wasn't always playing to what teams defense was giving him.
I think DeAndre Jordan had a better FT % too then him. It's definitely one of the shooting elements he really needs to get down. Heck I think if he could shoot somewhere in the 70%-75% range they'll take it. If not we might be getting hack a Simmons in the NBA.
Show him I believe it was the Heat where he just stood there under the basket like completely baffled. One of the worst most embarrassing displays of if you could call it anything short of defense in my life time of watching basketball.
Never said they were the same. It's one of the reasons I think players struggle and some succeed. I thought Tatum was way better the a lot of people though as well as Mitchell. Then when the reports of Boston wanting Tatum over Fultz and others happened after the Jackson fiasco if you want to call it that I figured well if Boston wants him then maybe some of us are onto to something with Tatum
i felt bad for Okafor most of the time with the Sixers, but after that clip i was really out:
This is in no way of be sh***Ing on the Sixers or their fans but I kept telling 76ers fans this might happen. I just got a vibe similar to the 2010 NBA Circus when Chicago was in on Wade and maybe getting Lebron (Who Chicago fans were really split on wanting) only for Wade to use Chi as a stalking horse to go back to MIA. Chicago ended up with Boozer and Rip Hamilton as their prizes in 2010 FA instead of Wade and maybe one other guy if not Lebron maybe something better then Boozer or Hamilton. Though this has been something I've been cautioning Sixers fans on especially in my friends circling ever since the tanking had started.
The latter is what I've questioned all along. I just don't see how Lebron fits them with Simmons there already. Two very similar skillsets but Lebron is the way better shooter at this point. I've thought all along they were better off going with Leonard and getting another piece somehow.
If this doesn't convince everyone that thinks LeBron and Simmons can't work together that they will work together, then nothing will and god have mercy on your souls.
I heard once Dal has their C the center market dries up fast. GS might get a very good C at a bargain price possible.
I think your estimate is on the low side.
i think i always thought this but seeing it in such a condensed time frame is just baffling. And i honestly feel like half of the people in the sports media craze are less intelligent then the average citizen. I started to realize this when the whole "Process" started. you could just see an inability to think with some reporters. and God forbid they get on a podcast and have to speak for 15 minutes. I mean these guys can be on the high school level of thinking.
They don't have to think. They just need to talk. We're becoming a society dependent on constant noise and distraction, the quality/content of the noise and distraction isn't really so important, just keep saying things about things we're passionate about and we'll keep self-agitating via your clap trap.
i think half of the reason why i am still watching all of this train wreck is the hope that all of these sports media folks are completely wrong. All of these declarative statements now would really make it a fun 24 hours to watch if they were forced to respond to all of their statements. i won't feel like i completely wasted my already limited brain capacity
It wouldn't be fun at all. They hardly ever (I've never heard it, but I'll assume it must have happened at some point) hold themselves accountable for all the calls they get wrong. It just turns into an incessant prevarication session, usually at high volume. Some of them have learned the trick of stating multiple sides of an argument or multiple possible outcomes for a given uncertainty at one time or another so they have a plausible claim to have made the right call.
I've got news for you: the league is far more sophisticated on both sides of the ball than it's ever been, thus the "true" fans should enjoy it. I know I do.
LA Lakers -155
that is what i have heard, right around those numbers. to be honest i am surprised not to see Lakers as more of a favorite. I am sure this isn't bet a ton, but have to think any of the betting public would have bet a ton on Lakers with all of the reporting the last 2 weeks.
I feel the same. It would probably have to involve multiple teams, and at that point I don't have the time or energy to start figuring out possible scenarios that make sense.
yeah, i enjoyed that stuff during the Eagles playoff run. Just wonder when it turned in this direction. Seems to work because it seems there ratings are better for it. i remember when FS1 started they were selling themselves as an alternative to the crap on ESPN with real reporting. I don't know if it ever happened, but they jumped the shark to mirroring the ESPN model with-in a week or 2.
You also realize that a lot of guys aren't what you think they are either right? There's some athletes out there who will act cool with the press and all but are complete D bags in in the locker room and with other players. Just put the good image up for PR help when stuff breaks from the team what a bad teammate they are. I know two former NFL players and one played with the Patriots. I also have a co worker who is one of the assistant coaches for the Eagles. The guy who played in NE said Tom Brady he had a bigger issue with then BB. Brady puts this good ole boy act on with the media but he's a complete d bag to his teammates. My co worker's son worked with the Chiefs and came home and helps coach the Eagles now after Pederson promised if he was hired in Philly he was coming with him. He said theres a lot of two faced players and theres guys in these locker roos thats players will protect for whatever reason but will then talk behind their back. You have guys telling the media what a good work ethic said teammate has but then talking amongst themselves and laughing at the BS they just spewed. One of the things he told me was all the players who went to bat for Chip Kelly when he was here a lot didn't believe what they were saying. Behind close doors they were just as vocal as their other teammates how much they hated the guy even some of his former Oregon players. Heck there's guys out there today that I know first hand from my co workers son who said they disagree with Kaepernick possible being black listed from the NFL but they wouldn't want him on their team after guys who have left SF on their team have told these players who former teammates of Kaepernicks' voicing support for him telling people. A perfect example of not believing everything you read is the hit piece Chip Kelly had put out after DeSean Jackson was let go. I actually ran into one of the beat writers in my area and we talked as a buddy of mine with me was in sports journalism. We asked him about the whole DeSean Jackson thing because he worked with the guy at the same paper who did the piece. He basically said a lot of the article was beefed up and there was a lot of BS in it. Team was lucky Jackson got signed as fast as he did because he thought if DeSean couldn't find work he'd go with the NFLPA and sue the Eagles and the writer for lible and defamation. Both McCoy and Jackson who were cut were both fairly popular amongst their peers on the team.
Never like hearing a player get injured but thank god he got hurt. I heard there was talk of Chicago being interested in taking him from LA to help with the Leonard situation
No, just no. Kawhi never talks, he hasn't changed. Read up on it. If he was a bad teammate or that guy that is quiet all the time in front of the media and a jerk in the locker room it would have leaked out by now.
This happened just recently in the World Cup. Nikola Kalinic of Croatia had been upset he didn't start so he refused to Come on sighting a back issue. A teammate of his for his country and a player linked to possible joining his current club team basically called him out on it And seriously players in the NBA draft do stiff about their injuries all the time to prevent certain teams from taking them.
What and put themselves at higher risk for injury with hamstring strains and what not? Can't be expected to put their career on the line for that
You are comparing two different sports, and your last example is to not get drafted by certain teams. Not sit out the entire year, Isaiah Thomas tried doing it to the Pistons and what happened? It didn't work and he played. Do you have any facts at all or just something you heard from a guy that sold a car to a guy that did the dry cleaning for the guy that coached Kawhi in AAU?
Here's my take and I'll call bank (it will probably be a brick though).
Did you actually research any of the schools they have mentioned or are you just throwing #### against the wall to see what sticks?
how good is his kid? i have heard the discussions about him, but is he a legit prospect?
