Official 2017 NBA Offseason Thread: Media Days begin

[addict4sneakers]

Well yea my former team mate Kobe Paras played D1 last year (yambs are solid tho for him) but did not do to well but the thing is here in the Philippines asians develop their bodies late so that reduces the chance and some of the guys coming out.Some of the players from the poor families reportedly get offers to try out in schools like Butler for example but the colleges here offer as high as $80 000 plus $1 000 every month as allowance to play for colleges here i cant blame them for taking the bag

Interesting and a small world. Creighton is in my home town.

I just couldn't remember the last time a saw a Filipino play college basketball. I know Corey Jefferson was over there getting 40 and 20 all the time. There's probably a market here for some of their good guards if they want to play college basketball

 

[addict4sneakers]

Well, if he's spent any time in the US I bet he uses the n word

He's at creighton which isn't too far from the hood in Omaha. He'll be acclimated very soon

Yea Corey Jefferson was meh here i thought he'd be better he left his team with a franchise worse losing streak
The Americans killing it over here are Ricardo Ratliffe,Eugene Phelps,Charles Rhodes ,Justin Brownlee this dude Bill walker plays here every year now and renamed himself Henry Walker my dad talked to him called him ball and said he's henry now.

yea only ones who dont arent born and raised here

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

I feel like people in here are forgetting the player that Ray was while he was in his prime, before going to Miami.

Fixed

Mudiay, Thrill and Jokic copped

Be patient and those mudiay jerseys will be available at your local dd's

Do Filipinos consider themselves asian?

Did you follow the team last season?

I was in school when we made the tourney and almost upset Tyreke's Memphis' team in a #2/#15 matchup. Since then we've been banned from the postseason almost every year We self-imposed a postseason ban again last season and the NCAA just upheld the ban and also took away 2 scholarships

We'll win another 10 or so games this season

Do Filipinos consider themselves asian?

what? what else could they consider themselves?

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Super cuts
I saw a black dude walking in the parking lot going in there 1 day. I almost hopped out, kidnapped son, drove him to the hood shop and saved his life. That sunken place dangerous.

That was my freshman year... I remember we had the lead at halftime and everyone was hyped at the pub

"pacific islander"

I heard that reference before. Use to hoop with alot of filipinos. Never met a filipino with both parents filipino.

I really don't understand the, "TMAC shouldn't be named with KD" talk. Do we not remember what TMAC was doing in his prime? I know it is easy to forget how great certain folks are but damn

kd is a unicorn and has been a top 3 player for a long time now. Tmac is a lesser version of Kobe. Kd and Mac don't belong in the same sentence.
And I actually liked tmac more then I like kd.

 

[DCAllAfrican]

I am moreso looking at play style.

Tmac is more like KD than Kobe.

Again, look at Prime TMAC. How doesn't THAT deserve to be in the same sentence as KD.

I guess we can disagree there

 

[Lovetohate3000]

I really don't see that many similarities with kd and tmac. I disagree and think he's more Kobe lite then durant lite. He played sf and sg.
durant is literally a one of a kind player.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Ever since nike came out with those trash USA unis had a feeling things would go south

 

[equality]

T-Mac at his peak was 100% comparable to KD. He just had his peak cut way short due to injuries. If we're just going off peak to peak comparisons, it's not ridiculous at all
