    Jalen Green will fill Tilman's bars and restaurants like the Vince Carter toronto effect documentary.

    That’s a great looking starting lineup! We should try our best to trade everyone save Martin Jr and Tate to draft both Mobley and Green :)

    Mobley is the next AD like Nerlens Noel was the next AD.

    I feel like it's a bit unfair, he did give us a WCF Berth in more decades.

    Was Nerlens ever touted as next AD?

    Color me skeptical on that.

    Chris Bosh with Bam defense is HOF good.

    I'll take it.

    Sure. Just Google "Nerlens Noel next Anthony Davis" and there are plenty of results. Here's one article from before he even played at UK. I remember one guy on ESPN right before the draft saying that Noel was superior defensively to AD, which I remember because I knew it was bullshit. AD is a once in a generation guy. Noel was not that; Mobley is not that.

    Noel has never been as good offensively or even near the playmaker.

    Poor comp.

    Mobley now has..... Kawhi vibes..... AD vibes.... Bosh vibes.... BAM vibes....

    LOL. I think all these vibes are pointing to more of an enigma than people want to acknowledge.

    Don't forget Tim Duncan vibes.

    I know how much you love a good alternate reality angle.

    And FYI - that tweet was comparing Mobley to Kawhi in terms of on court demeanor.

    But leave it to you to overreact.

    Lol I dont even get it, is this supposed to be a slight? Bosh with Bam defense is like auto 1st pick lol.

    Bam got paid the max almost purely on his defense and Bosh was an extreme offensive machine, just played in the wrong era and developed that heart condition that retired him prematurely.

    If Kenny wants Green, I want Mobley even more now.

    Kenny is always wrong and he hates any Rockets team that could potentially achieve as much the 90's team.

    Kenny is a self promoter and nowhere as smart as he thinks he is, he's delusional to boot.

    Remember when Horry called him out for saying he was the leader on those Rockets championship teams?

    I forgot Ralph Sampson!

    The Mobley Mob lives in this alternative reality where Mobley has comps to all the great big man and now the on court demeanor of Kawhi! It's hilarious how desperate y'all are getting with all these comparisons.

    ....Mobley isn't passionless.... he's Kawhi!

    I mentioned this earlier, Tilman is going to want to fill seats period. Green or Cade are the only options

    Agreed. But people made the comp. They even made it after Noel's rookie year:

    [Brett] Brown said Noel's rookie stats "measure up quite well, actually, with the projected path" of Davis.

    https://www.mcall.com/sports/mc-76ers-practice-noel-20150127-story.html

    What I'm getting at is if we're saying that AD is Mobley's ceiling then we should say that Kobe is Green's ceiling. Both of those are absurd and equally improbable.

    Do you really believe that Mobley is passionless?

    Or are just spouting this dreck because of an agenda?

    Not absurd if there is some inkling of truth.

    For example, Noel never displayed PG skills with the ball. Both AD and Mobley actually played PG.

    And Green is getting Kobe (and MJ!) Comparisons right now - however people forget that both Kobe and MJ also were excellent defenders. MJ was one of the very best defenders of his era in fact.

    And both were underrated passers as well.

    These are 2 areas that Green has struggled. Like Nerlens Noel, Green is not a 2 way player.

    Yet.

    Or maybe ever.
