The Official NBA Season Thread: I’m like Jayson Tatum in the Olympics I'm not playing

Ant had 5 games last year with dibble digit assists, I want to understand how people see a route for that sort profile to become the hub of a top NBA offense.
 
LiAngelo needs to know his role and shuts his mouth. You can't be the weakest link of a crew/family and run your mouth at folks that run their mouth for a living. Stupid.

Gelo was 4 yrs old when Diplomatic Immunity dropped…He need to listen to his pops

Gelo is a podder and "content creator" unfortunately this is his lane and role now

I mean that’s the same number SGA had last year. Ant is still 22. He’s not finished but he ain’t Jalen Green.
 
You guys didn’t listen to Dipset in Los Angeles? Or suburbia LA?

A ton of people aren’t really into hip hop or music. They just act like they do. Cam had a great run and had the whole nation wearing pink for a summer lol.

Mind you didn’t his brother Lonzo also say some dumb stuff about NAS? https://www.si.com/nba/2017/09/04/lonzo-ball-says-nas-outdated-nas-manager-ti-lil-b

I certainly don’t expect them to be huge fans of older rap music but the disrespect is wild.
 
When Cam said he was coming out with a sports show I didn’t think it was going to work.

But it really has bro. Good for him. He’s a great content creator in the sports world.

He’s being mentioned in adidas commercials. He’s on draft kings commercials.
 
Game 1 overreactions, #5 on the way for Bron, Ad winning MVP & DPOY, JJ Reddick looks like next coming of Phil Jackson, more overreaction to come after Cavs game tonight!

That's fair but that's my general point. He's somewhere between Jalen Green and Shai, not the top five player that people have been pushing him to be.

Once again, I'm an Ant fan, I see the potential, but he hasn't at all developed the ability to read defenses and run offense in the way Booker/Shai have that helped them elevate their game from a similar spot imo.

And meanwhile, he's been anointed as "Next Up", "Young MJ", and it just needs to slow down. He's a great young player but he has a huge hole in his game that he hasn't really developed at all since coming into the league imo, and that's where my concern comes in.

He's going to have a bigger microscope on him this year, the weight of expectations are different and he'll have to get used to really being the man and bearing that brunt. Which is a good thing and hopefully can get him to take the next step.

Nah, they do, all the Shoreline Mafia kids dress like Dipset imitators. The influence is very heavy on the west coast despite whatever nonsense Gelo is talking,

Melo/Gelo just have always seemed a couple chromosomes short of complete. Even funnier to hear them talk the way they do and then realize they're from Chino Hills (The Staten Island of LA).

I mean you can say the same thing about shai, he’s just unguardable in 1 on 1. The Mavs were content with him scoring 30 because they were going to live with the 2s.

Ant has work to do but he gets better every playoff. I just don’t want to see anyone downplay his game because of his personality. But you see when he got it going you had to tilt the entire defense to him. His vision can improve though.

During the peak of this nonsense I was wondering why people would even put that type of pressure on ANYONE considering how NOBODY has ever lived up to that type of label. Especially considering dude hadn't accomplished much at the time. I didn't get it then. I don't get it. I will never get it.
