THEE OFFICIAL 2019-2020 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD: VICTORY LAP

[alchemist iq]

Speaking of shoes, do any of you guys have Soldier 11s? Or had them? I've always been more intrigued by the Soldier line then Nike's signature line for Lebby. And these Soldier 11s, that's all I've been wearing for work ever since they first came out. I first bought the all black, then the wheats, and last year I got the maroon/black.

As far as casual shoes/work shoes go, these are quickly becoming one of my favorite shoes of all time.

Looks like you took a picture of a Japanese potato. Try taking a better shot.


Anyway yes i own pair of soldier 11s and the 12s, both models don't get the respect they deserve, but for those who actually hoop in them they know they actually better than the actual lebron signature line 15&16, and I own both those models as well.

Nah.

I don't know what it is but people always seem to take shots at Quinn Cook. Maybe because he isn't a super athlete? But people are always discrediting him as if ANYONE can play at Oak Hill, get a free ride to Duke, and make the League. It is disrespectful as hell.

But he seems like this generation's Jarrett Jack in terms of a NON-STAR being super popular / cool with EVERYBODY.

And please tag me in these convos man.

Roger mason was like that too .

Even the rappers **** with Quinn. But on the court...they be at his neck. I figure, most dudes just think he don’t deserve it, and play with the pedigree of a County *****, that was on all the right teams. But he a for real hooper....that worked his *** off.

It’s incredibly hard to start at Dematha...win. Be one of the best on DC Assault...win. Be a top recruit and go to duke. Win. Figure your way out in the nba, g league mvp etc...win.

All as a 6ft pg...who can barely dunk, with limited athleticism and no real off the table skills. Yet, at every level...he made his way. I got nun but respect for yo. You let him in the room, he going find a way.

I woudnt say awful, id say on a different tier.

Tier 1:
1, 3, 4

Tier 2:
5, 6, 7, 8, 11, 12, 13

 

[DCAllAfrican]

Well said wavycrocket . Nothing but respect for Quinn.

Man, I was definitely trying to come back up to the Brunson again this summer. Enjoyed myself last year. Hopefully all this clears up man.

 

[pmatic]

I give credit to Cook.

He didn't play particularly well to start the season in Rondo's absence, but he's had his moments in spot duty during the season. I still think he only got signed here because of his friendship with AD.

Interesting. Can you give some examples of non-Jordan basketball shoes you like? Genuinely curious. My posture in this interaction is peaceable.

 

[storm2006]

MIAA/BCL also. Here, they ain’t too much of a difference in talent between public/private. It shifts over the years. But the cream rises to the crop. St Frances & Poly or a County school can be elite. Shoot...Patterson was known for Lacrosse before Aquille

Truth

 

[Maximus Meridius]

KD is the last person I'd listen to when it comes to anything KD related. He flip flops so much. I know it's dumb to say, but I take a lot of what he says with a grain of salt.

But these Warrior reporters are weirdos as well. I get both sides.

Son contradicted himself a lot when he was on All Da Smoke. One minute the warriors loved each other and it was the media creating stories, the next he felt hurt when they didn't address Dray disrespecting him.

I'm not surprised that he was a lil jealous of the Steph love. It's in line with a lot of things KD has said. He don't get the same love Bron or Steph get.

He won

The more I think about it, Ethan Strauss basically put out a tabloid report in the form of a book. TO me, that is some sucka stuff masked as "journalism."

But that is where we are today.

 

[equality]

He won

With that money even if he flames out, as long as he invests his money wisely he'll be set for life. Glad he's out there getting his

And he got his own team

One step closer to having the G league function like the MLB minor league system.

But what about the friends & connections you'd make in that class

Thanks for answering. It appears our tastes in this area differ. Shocking as that is...

I wonder how many incoming blue chippers are having second thoughts after seeing that figure.

He won't be set for life off that amount but yes that is a nice foundation to start with for a young bol.

Not sure if his move was sparked by COVID-19 but glad to see more folks are bucking the system right now

kuminga was trying to reclassify to 2020 but he didn’t take his SATs. He’s wasting his time. I don’t know if Cade signed his NLI or if it even matters.
