The Official NBA Season Thread: Jamal Murray Signs $209M Extension



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"
 
To this day I still dont understand how Josh Jackson became a bust. 6'7, athletic, and could create his own shot. Dude really dissapointed me. I remember watching his Mcdonalds All American game and he looked better than Tatum to me at that time. They both were top tier wing prospects
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
 
Just finished watching. What are your thoughts on the comments he made at the 55:59 mark? Would be interested in getting your perspective
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.
 
@BIG LEEMELONE This was a solid listen. He really pulled himself up by his bootstraps to make it to the league.

What are your thoughts on DA?

He shout out Bo Outlaw too :pimp: :pimp:

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.
 
Thread got simple jacked so I forgot to post bout this but this is the definitive ranking (* places I haven’t been to)


LA
Miami
NYC
Houston
ATL
Dallas
DC
Toronto
Chicago
Philly
Orlando
Charlotte
Phoenix*
Denver
San Fran
Boston
New Orleans
Detroit*
Minny
Sacramento*
Memphis*
Indianapolis*
Portland
San Antonio*
Cleveland*
OKC*

Salt Lake*
Trying to take all things into consideration:

LA
NY/Brooklyn
Miami
Houston
Toronto
Chicago
DC
New Orleans
Dallas
Atlanta
Philly
SF
Orlando
Phoenix
New Orleans
Charlotte
Boston
Denver
Indianapolis
Portland
San Antonio
Sacramento
SLC
Minneapolis
Memphis
Milwaukee
Detroit
OKC

At least with SLC I could theoretically be adventurous outdoors (hiking, skiing) and be an hour away via plane from Vegas.
 
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 :smh:
Do I need to bump posts? 🧐

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.
 
LA
SAC

PDX
PHX

This is not a ranking. These are the NBA cities I’ve actually been in.

I need to travel more.
