    OK I just looked up when he said that. Jalen clearly said that because he wanted to be the #1 pick it doesnt mean that him being bored when he stayed there is not true. Again youre acting like he said it sucked other than what he actually said which is he felt more comfortable in Houston.

    But my point is it’s the norm and a part of sports culture.

    taking things personal as far as trash talk? nah, it isn't. Just talking on the court sure. Huge distinction between the two

    Yes it is. It’s all over sports history.

    Also saying that Detroit is boring and there’s nothing to do is mild and doesn’t cross the line at all.

    nope. Just because you have isolated altercations here and there doesn't make it the norm.

    some of yall are under this false assumption that guys are taking personal shots at each other all the time. Nah

    Actually it's pretty disrespectful when the city actually has nothing to do with him and his situation. So instead of keeping it about the actual basketball organization that passed on him, he took it to the city and everything that comes with it. Aka outside of basketball talk

    I just wish he would have kept it about the Detroit Pistons and not Detroit itself. If Cade would have said something about Houston, this thread would be up in arms.

    If Cade said he was bored in Houston and would rather live in Detroit I legit couldnt care less lol I would probably laugh at him lol I would not be mad I would just be like i cant wait to destroy the Pistons when they are in town its all in fun man.

    I didnt say that it should. But if someone talked about Houston being garbage, Im sure that would garner a response.

    I love this trash talk but sometimes I wonder if Jalen is from the Lavar Ball school of marketing. I think his relationship with the Philippines developed into something sincere but sometimes I think it began just to grab our market.

    He also said he’d like to live in Detroit just to grab the 1st overall pick. Nothing wrong with wanting things like money and 1st overall pick, just remember he he has motives.

    Houston > Detroit and this might be straight from the heart tho.

    A response is fine. Nothing wrong with banter between fan bases and trash talk. It is a part of sports culture.
