Official Around The NBA Thread......Septiembre

Rondo had an extremely high BBIQ.

 

I'm not sure anyone could be as bad as Clownzano.

 

From the little twitter feed on the right of the screen...

KD playing the victim card:

"I mean, it's just pure hate for me, obviously." — KD on why he'll never get a DPOY award

"I understand what we have here in this building that scares everybody".

Hey dipshit, Draymond just won DPOY in 2017, and he's an even bigger asshole than you are. You were his teammate. How can you not know he won DPOY. If they'll give it to that asshole, they'll give it to you IF YOU DESERVE IT. You don't.

The guy sets a career high in blocked shots and he suddenly thinks he's Anthony Davis or Rudy Gobert. He didn't finish in the top 20 in any of the advanced defensive metrics (DRtg, DBPM, DWS, etc.). Dude, come on, you weren't even the best defender on your team let alone the entire league. NOT EVEN CLOSE.

It seems like all he does is whine about how little respect he gets. Gee, I wonder why...

BNM

 

KD's thought process as follows.
I'm just as good as LeBron James!

 

It's crazy when a famous person or athlete goes from fairly beloved by everyone to almost universally hated. Most of the examples I can think of are because they did something illegal like OJ. Going from the "Mom, you the real MVP" to where he's at right now is really sad.

 

Im not accusing him of anything but the only people Ive known in real life who have changed like that all got into drugs (like cocaine, and meth, and crap that’ll really screw you up). Its been weird he’s changed so much.

 

I think KD is trolling the media at this point. CJ said during his media day interview that KD and him are cool. KD was the one that even gave him tips for raising his platform by doing that little twitter "war" between them two.

 

Or they were just really good at hiding their true self.

 

Yeah, I know we only see KD through the media and social media but he’s done a complete 180 its a little weird.

 

I laugh when he says shit like...

It's much harder to play on a good team.

Or

It's okay to join a 73 win team because they lost in the Finals.

 

Stupid, Funny, short reference to the Blazers in the popular culture... from "The Good Place" TV show (just watch the first 10 seconds, the rest is a character review from the show)

 

Not sure where to put this:

 

There is an NBA game tipping off in 8 hours FAMS!!!!! The HCP loves basketball!!!!

 

I'm very much looking forward to the Melbourne @ Philly game. There are so many connections between the two teams it's ridiculous.

Australian Jonah Bolden has now joined Ben Simmons in Philly. Like Simmons, Bolden's father also played in the Australian NBL in the 90's. Dave Simmons, and Bruce Bolden played the same position F/C for rival teams in the same city.





I'm sure that after the game the Aussies on both teams will be getting together to watch the Australian Football League Grand Final (Superbowl). Starts 9:30PM PDT on Fox Soccer Plus. Maybe some of the Americans will even watch, given that Texan born and bred Mason Cox will be playing.

 

Fun fact: Since 1981 more number 1 NBA draft picks have been born in Melbourne, Australia than any other city in the world (Andrew Bogut, Kyrie Irving, Ben Simmons).

I have no idea if this is really true, it was mentioned on the Melbourne @ Philly broadcast.

AMAZING!!!

FUCKING AMAZING!!!

 

Makes for a sweet highlight, but man, it's not that tough of play and I know you know that. Hell, when I played city ball at Milwaukie Elks for number of years that was done periodically.
For pro's its not, if the opportunity is there.
