    Oh, I know. I love Jalen (was my pick even if we had 1st overall pick.) Just thought it was funny they kept that shot in the video

    I agree. But Kobe airballed 3 consecutive jumpers as a 19 year old rookie too

    That is embarrassing.... you could make the same video with U16 kids because they all would have at some point mimicked a shot like Kobe.

    Yikes.

    EDIT: LMFAO it even included a kobe made field goal VS an airball. My goodness gracious me. That is a truly awful video.

    Not sure if this was posted here in CF. This was posted to Youtube a couple of years ago. It was taken at UNLV where Team USA was practicing, but the camera was on Jalen Green and a couple other draft picks. At the 1:36 min mark, Jalen gets James to come over and listen to what Harden said:

    It’s like goku training gohan before the cell games.

    Jalen is gohan and will surpass harden in power and do what his elder could not do (defeat cell/ win a championship)

    I'm sure Harden has lost a little bounce since then. But I also think he was clowning the young Idol.

    Exactly as I see it. I watched Kobe come into the league.
    Kobe had a long way to go to be Kobe as well.

    MJ spent 3 years in college before going to the NBA.....still shot about 20% from
    3 for his first 5 seasons after entering the NBA.

    Jalen Green might be ahead of the curve on Kobe/MJ on some stats or parts of the
    game right now.

    Why don't the free throws count for paint finishing. They should.


    And I also noticed the Harden guy was replaced with Green in the forum banner.
