The Official NBA Season Thread: NBA Cup Begins | Embiid Debut | Klay Return

[addict4sneakers]

Again… it’s only OL/DL or TEs….

We haven’t seen hoopers transition into any other positions professionally. It’s always linemen and TEs.

I know Jalen Suggs was all state in football, Gary Harris was a good player too.

But when those NFL scouts go to scout college hoopers, it’s always dudes who play in the trenches or TE

Not skill positions like QB/WR/DB/RB

TE IS A SKILL POSITION

Kobe 5 look-a-likes. These gonna do numbers.

Wish the collar was cut differently

But otherwise great shoe

Sabrina's line might hold the #2 spot for another year

Football guys are always like…

“Being tough is a skill”

Word? Then why you crying about this?

Yea he killing me,TE’s aren’t nothing but big WR’s now.


I can see Josh Hart being a Hines Ward type of WR.

These look like they cold have been a Kobe model.

What will never happen, no matter how athletic of a football player you are…

Play basketball for a few months and make it to the league. You couldn’t even make it to college. Man, you couldn’t even make to a high school varsity team.

This is an actual skill sport.

This isn’t just learning how to sumo wrestle for a few seconds, run a route, and catch a ball in the Summer.

This must be how RustyShackleford felt when his cuz kept chatting in his ear about Kendrick vs Drake

^throw in the fact that the route to the nba is much harder. fewer roster spots and you pretty much have to hit the genetic lottery in terms of height. you can't teach "height"

All I know is one year we had the best varsity football team in Queens and the best varsity basketball team in Queens.

About 50 dudes from the football team tried out for the basketball team and not one made it.

A lot of times what I would see is the Football coach poaching the basketball players vs the opposite. They'd put them in like a DL position until they learned the game and flourished.

Not quite sold on Shai Bilbo-Baggins yet like everyone seems to be.

 

[dman14]

that turn on Shai gonna be quick

These two posts which were b2b is fitting for this topic

Moss wouldn’t have made the NBA, not saying that. It’s crazy how some guys win their state’s POY in a different sport than the one they went pro in.

Joe Mauer was a QB in HS, and won Gatorade National Player of the Year for football. Had a full ride to Florida St to play for Bobby Bowden but chose baseball which was obviously smart.

Finally gonna watch Lord of the Rings. See if all that gas is worth it.

Only a matter of time

Austin started the face of the league debate and now this NBA/NFL convo. He is truly a master of ********

 

[antidope]

You’re better than me

Being forced to expand my horizons. I finally watched the Notebook this year. I was wrong. Good movie.

Never did the thought occur to me that Austin Rivers could do anything that would trigger a week long debate in here.

So did the Mavs goof by letting porzingis and brunson go or did they actually finally get help

Hmm

They didn’t goof for sure

KP didn’t fit. Gafford and Lively are better fits as bigs next to Luka

Mavs would’ve never gotten Kyrie had they kept Brunson

Washington is a better fit as a 2-way wing than DFS because PJ is more aggressive offensively, a better scorer and imo is a much better rebounder and much better defender averaging a block and a steal a game for his career

So yes, DAL finally got Luka better all around help because DAL is deeper and more balanced as Platinum State mentioned
