    -----------------------------------

    No matter what happens this year, I am stoked we got Congo Bro this unbelievable experience early in his career. Learning how to be a pro's pro with Nene. Getting constant work with the Dr34m. Showing off that jump hook on occasion as well as the left hand. Blocking shots better than anyone in the entire playoffs. I am extremely happy with the 25th pick in the draft, who could barely walk coming into the league. I hope the Rockets have big plans for his development this off-season. Can't wait to pair him with a stud Forward. (I love you Ryno, but....)

    Dude, he's not from the Congo. He was born in Switzerland.

    His Mom is from the Congo. So HE IS FROM THE CONGO. IN HIS BLOOD.

    Now edit your post for misinformation.

    I still remember the draft when they said he was "2 years away from being 2 years away" so yeah, imagine what he'll do during the 18-19 season...

    According to some posters though he is still trash and should have been traded for Thong Maker.

    LOL... his mom is from Congo, so that means HE is from Congo? I dont understand the logic.

    Congolese, sure. But FROM Congo, no.

    Just because you don't love your Momma, doesn't mean Clint doesn't love his.

    He entered into this world from a Congogina, and he will leave this world in a Congogina.

    Clint's giant shorts say otherwise. 100% Congoneez blacksnake.

    This is the same bull**** they did with Jeremy Lin. Lin isn't Chinese and Clint isn't Congolese.

    Clint has been great and fun to watch improve.

    One negative thing to note from this series, which is true of Clint, was true of Nene, and is true of most interior drives and plays... the Spurs are long and play tall... AND know how to swipe the ball and get ONLY the ball.

    You know who else does that amazingly?? Like best in the league amazing - Draymond.

    Clint isn't super bulky but he's tall enough. I don't want to encourage fouls, and the NBA rules have changed so much so who knows how it would get called, but 20 years ago you'd be telling Clint, grab the ball - if it's down low, grab it tight, if not, KEEP IT UP... then elbows OUT (today, probably just elbows slightly out), be cognizant that you are going to get swiped, and go up strong.

    I've seen too many clean swipes by the Spurs under the basket.

    Genetically he is 50% Congolese. In his shorts he is 100% Congoleez.

    Relax, fellow Houston fan.

    (How dare you mention Jeremy Lin in my thread)
