The middle of this list always interests me. It's filled with "I get why the model would have him there" but also "this guy is 100% going in cause we just know"

Handle wasn’t tight and shot not good enough…plus he was a character concern guy so who knows what was going on with him off the court

I have no issue with a Hall of famer's pregame routine.
Whatever he needs to do to get ready, he has that freedom.
What did you think?
Thanks for taking the time out of your busy day to listen to a bunch of washed up basketball players talk about nothing.

KG broke this down PERFECTLY.
. Different game completely. In todays NBA these kids are literally selected at a young age and prepped to be NBA players mainly off of potential and pedigree. The previous era you were in the league because you were a baller. Not saying it’s not ballers now obviously, but it was a whole different level of desperation and hunger back then. I do respect that.

I wish ANT had never opened his mouth. As a 48 year old, I’m tired of this. It’s different eras. The game was different back then. The game is different now.
But the one thing that is flagrant about today is saying the athletes of today aren’t better or more skilled.
This just proves the point. Some soccer mom or dad put all this $$$ into this young lady so she can ball out. With trainers, youth leagues, sports medicine, better shoes, better coaches, etc. She can’t not have next in the WNBA.
Different time and place. I agree. Impoverished beginnings and genetics gave rise to highly motivated players. But you can’t act like genetics and big business can’t give rise to a new level. This is a billions of dollar industry. This ain’t the playground no more. It’s a machine.KG broke this down PERFECTLY.

Speaking of New York Basketball…..Kiyan Anthony really is looking like a first round prospect.
When this ***** start windmilling?
Really cool that Kiyan is playing in an environment like this.
He's the one out of the banana boat kids. Maybe the best of all former players' kids coming up now.

Do I need to bump posts?A lot of us didnt like the pick. Especially with MPJ falling, SGA, and both Bridges right there for the taking.
Then he'd show some flashes once every 10 games and we'd be pulled back in overrating our young player per usual.
These "scouts" tricked us

yall giving high crime, step outside after 7pm or between these street number cities too high of a rating just because you recognize the names. I am on site for work tomorrow I’ll take cost of living, crime, traffic (arguably the first 2 are ear elephant in the nba tax bracket but crucial to us normies), diversity, entertainment, night life into account. Looks like I have been in 16 that I can recall

Don’t really understand how you get Cryrie at 93% and then have guys like Luka and Tatum at 41 and 32 when they have more accolades.
Booker at like 5% is egregious.
