Damon is supporting his Arizona guy. Not sure how tough he is, as he got passed over in the Nets rotation in the playoffs this year.
Wouldn't a mature person know that when they're in handcuffs... Not to run from police?? https://nypost.com/2019/05/13/suns-...-vip-denial-fleeing-police-at-music-festival/
No, sounds like a dumbass. Every black person (yes every one of us) has been taught how to act around police officers. But HJ... That was so 2 years ago... Affidavit: Josh Jackson threatened to 'beat' women's player LAWRENCE, Kan. -- One day before top-seeded Kansas opens NCAA tournament play, court officials released an affidavit that says freshman star Josh Jackson threatened to "beat" a women's basketball player during a confrontation in December. Douglas County District Court officials released the affidavit to The Lawrence Journal-World detailing statements from McKenzie Calvert and two other Kansas women's basketball players who witnessed the argument Dec. 9 outside The Yacht Club in Lawrence. The affidavit was filed by police to justify a court summons Jackson was served March 7; he is charged with misdemeanor criminal damage. Coach Bill Self suspended Jackson for the quarterfinal game in the Big 12 tournament that Kansas lost to TCU as punishment for an accumulation of embarrassing incidents. Self has been adamant that Jackson will play Friday when the top-seeded Jayhawks face UC Davis in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Self was asked about finding a balance with his players between acknowledging the off-court issues while not letting them be a disruption. "First thing you do, you accept responsibility for what's transpired. You can't run from it. If it happened, it happened," he said. "But then, you know, how do you handle it from that point, I think, is a lot of times as important as what actually transpired. And our guys have rallied around this. Our guys have rallied around Josh." The coach also said he believes Jackson is focused. "He's a tough-minded individual," Self said Thursday in Tulsa. "I think he's focused. And certainly his role or playing time or what not, whatever, will only be dictated by what happens between the lines. It won't be dictated by anything else. And I think he's ready to go." The incident in December began inside the bar when Calvert threw a drink at her ex-boyfriend, Lagerald Vick, another Kansas player. She said she was upset because Vick attended the party with his new girlfriend. Calver told police Jackson followed her to her car and "was yelling for her to get out of the car and that he would beat her ass," the affidavit says. Jackson is scheduled to appear in court April 12. His attorney did not return a call Thursday from The Associated Press. The affidavit said the bumper, grille, fender, windshield, left tail lamp assembly and driver's side front door were all damaged, with a total repair cost of about $3,150. Witnesses reported Jackson only damaging the door and tail light, with an estimated damage of $1,127, and District Attorney Charles Branson said Jackson was not charged with felony criminal damage because it couldn't be proved that the player caused all the damage. Jackson apologized in a statement shortly after he was arrested and "offered to pay for any damage that I directly caused." Women's basketball player Caelynn Manning-Allen told police she tried to restrain Jackson by grabbing his arms and he kicked Calvert's car before she was able to get him away from the vehicle. Another women's player, Eboni Watts, said she witnessed Jackson kick Calvert's driver's door twice and kick the tail light. According to the affidavit, Self joined Jackson at McCarthy Hall, where the men's basketball team lives, as he was interviewed by police about 5:45 a.m. the day of the confrontation. The Jayhawks have been dogged by a number of off-the-court problems this season. The most serious is an alleged sexual assault at McCarthy Hall. No suspects have been identified in connection with the incident the night of Dec. 17, though five players are listed as witnesses. Forward Carlton Bragg also was charged with possession in a drug case and was briefly suspended before being granted diversion. Vick was also accused of hitting a female student two years ago, but the school investigated and recommended school probation. And hours after the Jayhawks wrapped up the Big 12 regular-season title, junior guard Devonte Graham was arrested for failing to appear in court. Graham had been ticketed for driving with expired license plates, and said that the car belonged to an ex-teammate and he thought the ticket had been paid.
Tell Damon to get RHJ in a damn gym to work on that jumper... His shooting has regressed since his rookie year...
Hollis will come cheap for sure. Hard to play in crunch time when you can't shoot. But I would not mind having him on our bench. He would need to play with 4 other guy players who are really good shooters though.
I understand what you are saying if we keep Aminu, ET, and Harkless. But he is a better wing defender than any of those
lol, back then there weren't many options and we had a friend that was at PCU so that's where we started. FC Portland then started adding the younger age levels so we made the switch My daughter actually started at Portland Metro when she was u10. It was a girls only club up to u14 and then most would go on to play at FC.
I've been taking trips to Cali this year and am shocked at how prevalent the weed smell is. Didn't really have an opinion on its legalization, but DAMN, that shit stinks up everything. SF especially was horrible. I left PDX a while ago-- is it that bad there too?
Everybody in Switzerland praised SF before I went there. After 6 days there I have absolutely no idea why. Hated this city. But really.
