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

Same day response



The fact that he don't know James Jones shows his lack of knowledge on football. James was a WAY better NFL player than Austin was a NBA player.

And he literally contributed to Aaron Rodgers’ multiple MVPs and one super bowlz was a hell of a 2nd/3rd receiver in his career

Austin Rivers was a career 65% FT shooter

He’s Nutso from above the Rim… peaked in High school

im taking a guy from oakland over a guy from orlando any day

It's like telling Jamal Murray I never heard of you. You shouldn't be talking about the sport anyway then.

James Jones catch % in the playoffs is just as good as Austins FT%. Austin gotta pull a J Cole on this.

 

[RustyShackleford]

Nah, **** it

Austin Rivers should double down

The dumb take was already made, you already in the war of words, gotta keep going ....

Kendrick Perkins pulled his card several times on National TV as well. Had him seething

Austin's real talent is getting people to argue over dumb ****. Master of engagement

 

[ill steelo]

i don’t think any players could play in either league there’s NFL combine warriors every year who do nothing.There’s a skill component in both sports that’s being overlooked

Mobley gotta put more bass in his voice.

 

[elpablo21]

Has ESPN always did a player interview after the 1st quarter?

 

[Maximus Meridius]

NBA players are not even more athletic. NFL WR's got 40 inch verts carrying around 240. Look at Dk Metcalf. Cameron Wake had a 45 vert at 269.

But football is so specialized and the teams have 100 man rosters. I wasn’t envisioning any NBa guys as every down players, but I think someone like Giannis could be a situational tight end or something like that.

It’s still wild cause Austin made $30Ms more than JJ. Telling him “you would have had a better career” and “basketball wasn’t your sport” when he almost tripled your earnings is not doing your research.

JJ had the better career though

Windy went at his neck earlier

 

[RustyShackleford]

Man **** the NFL

Keeping popping your **** Austin

Them your corners

Of course he made more money it's the NBA.

 

[RustyShackleford]

No logical person would chose to play in the NFL over the NBA

 

[QU!K]

Isn’t it statistically more difficult to make the NBA? Plus there’s a financial barrier on football.

Best part about it the whole thing

Austin wouldn't make any practice squad

And James Jones couldn't make the G-League


But I'm here

 

[frshstunna]

Nobody cares bout the game right now

 

[pmatic]

LeVert hilarious.

 

[nick.]

HERE COMES AUSTIN RIVERS

 

[elpablo21]

Nobody cares bout the game right now

I'm keep waiting for Boston to go up by 30 ngl

 

[finessence]

Jaylen Brown tried to go left and fumbled it right into Okoro’s hand

 

[toneboi76]

I think Austin is right. Guys like Julius Peppers, Antonio Gates and Tony Gonzalez had no shot playing in the NBA but are HOF football players. Charlie Ward who was a decent NBA athlete would have had a longer career than super athlete Randy Moss if they traded sports out of college.

 

[Coupé It]

George Fant refused to play football.

He was a basketball player.

They asked him to the combine and now he’s 8 years strong in the NFL and still going.

He’s an O-LINEMAN. Don’t even make me dip into Tight Ends.
