The Official NBA Season Thread: NBA Cup Night

[ill4eva]

At this point, I’m not even sure Bronny is good enough to make the CEBL. Nevermind the G-League.

 

[addict4sneakers]

Pat Bev realistically has 2 NBA years left but he burned those bridges.

Wild topic

huge get for Tel Aviv. Been saying for a minute they needed a leader. Now, if Dedas can get his rotations in order, they should be a legit contender.

If we eliminate Bron ya'll wouldn't care what the 55th pick does in July period.

Ngl a player that played this many mins who was a guard and shot 0% from 3 would actually probably go viral on some hardcore NBA threads. That’s putrid

 

[picasso swerve]

Bronny is closer to a D2/D3 player at the moment than an NBA player. The cap in here is crazy.

Noticed this especially with his movement, he doesnt move/run off ball/on ball like a pro.

Kiyan Anthony should look at Emoni Bates as a cautionary tale.

Kiyan received an offer from Rutgers. They are expected to have 2 top 5 picks in Ace Bailey and Dylan Harper next year.

How is Rutgers getting these top recruits?

 

[Maximus Meridius]

On the grand scale of things, no. But Bron made this a thing. So when I say “eliminate Bron from this” there isn’t a 6’1” guard without PG skills that can’t shoot in this position.

We already knew this would happen though. Bronny wasn't good in college so of course people are gonna go extra cuz they feel a way about his father. Me personally I thought Bronny shoulda stayed in college on more year. He didn't look ready at all to jump to the NBA.

Kiyan should be thrilled to be that highly regarded tbh.

I see the comp though.

I think Gil's son may potentially end up in the Emoni category.

Dylan Harper (Ron's son) lives in New Jersey and his brother went there already. Package deal with Ace Bailey.

Malik Beasley under the pressure of being a Laker had his worst shooting season since being a rookie. Bronny can’t shoot at all and has never shot over 32% from 3 at any level. I don’t see how it gets easier

i think he’ll have easier shots than he will in summer league. I don’t mean hell he will be good i just think when you’re a straight up role player the game is easier when you’re playing with good players. In the real games they’d double AD or Bron and he may get an occasional open look from three since that makes the most sense to give up (especially if he can’t make them).

 

[frshstunna]

I think Bronny will be better in the real league oddly. He’s absolutely only skill is being a team player. He doesn’t have the individual skills to attack, to wiggle, etc. In the main league he won’t be asked to do any of that. Everyone knows he’s supposed to just stand in a corner and shoot tres, grab a few boards, swing the rock, and try to press up on defense. And he’ll be able to do that better than what he’s doing now.

He’s being asked to do the basics in summer league and is struggling so what makes you think it will be better against legit NBA players ?

The dude can’t dribble or hit open shots, what’s going to change on a November Friday night at Crypto ?

 

[frshstunna]

Lebron has made the league billions and millions of dollars on his back for 20 years. I think it’s fine for him to flex some power every now and then

Nothing wrong with Bron using his power to hook his folks up just like it’s not wrong or “hate” to point out his son sucks right now and shouldn’t be on a pro court

Bronny is there to add to his pops legacy, it’s not about him

Nike has been terrible with running shoes as well. Aside from their racing shoes their slate is so bad.

Their basketball shoes aside from the Kobe line and other retros is a dud. They at least tried something new with the Book’s

dropped nike running shoes a while ago
i only wear kobes for ball and everyday in the gym
running is strictly brooks
if any of yall need a discount on brooks hit my pm i got u with 40% off

Crying @ “Europe” instead of saying Israel.

israel is a tarnished name

 

[frshstunna]

Good athlete w/ good defensive instincts ,has potential to be solid shooter w/ work.

He can be an Alex Caruso type

This is disrespectful to Karuso…If yo can be a short Thanasis then he really worked on his game

 

[Moheezy]

Crying @ “Europe” instead of saying Israel.

To be fair...they're mostly Europeans over there.

 

[tay1]

Bronny gon be cool. People had expectations, was curious how he'd turn out and he fell short to impress. He'll adjust and be alright.

 

[rolaholic]

Today's years old realizing that he coached the Sparks

Helps explain Kobe's affinity and sense of responsibility towards growing the womens game even more now for me

 

[rolaholic]

Was a wrap as soon as the exit interview dropped

Would've been real surprised if he would've found another home in the league after that

 

[frshstunna]

Yea you said it right. A better HOPE.

ADVERTISEMENTCome on​

Then trying to flip this into some morality convo talking about some damn, "We shouldn't be bashing kids."

Now pro Basketball player is excused from being evaluated.

I don't get it.

Folks was saying the French kids drafted at the top sucked on draft night before even seeing them play, but now we can’t discuss what we seen on the floor from a player the same age as them
