Jalen Green's Fresno upbringing motivates him to prove people wrong, just not in Detroit

oh i have a point. and judging by how much you're wanting to defend JG in this thread, you would without a doubt care if the roles were reversed and houston was the one getting shitted on

 

A player just got punched in the face during a summer league game. These aren’t just isolated incidents. Altercations and sports literally go hand in hand.

Also.. Saying there’s nothing to do in Detroit is not disrespectful.

 

Im not gonna mention him but I will tell you he has a really big beard . I was merely responding to what you said. If Jalen was responding to Cade saying something about Houston thats different. I dont really think what Jalen said was that bad, I just wish he would have kept it about the Pistons is all. People are gonna be mad by what he said no matter what.

 

makes plenty of sense

 

cool. he got punched in the face? And how many games have gone by since there's been one. How many times has there been an actual punch in a game and how many games have gone without one. Lets compare the ratio. don't bother bc it's not even close. So now getting punched in the face is a norm and go hand in hand. Just a dumb attempt there

 

Yea that's fine, but it doesnt have to be about where people live.

 

I was going to mention Robocop vs Robocop 2 as the only thing Detroit has over Houston and then i remembered Robocop wasn't even filmed in Detroit, but in Dallas. I'd rather watch Robocop 2 than pay Dallas a compliment so **** Detroit and **** Dallas and **** Utah.

 

Kelly Olynk would like a word
around same money, two not competing teams, he had his best role in nba here and chose to goto ...Detroit, Michigan over Turks/Houston
Hell, pj tucker was excited to goto...Milwaukee, wisconsin over houston. No one went to the clippers much when sterling was there, it was still LA. Now they are runnig there bc a bad owner got out of the way, same with the nets. EVen with the warriors.

 

I appreciate that he is honest and hasn't been programmed to just give the boring PC response to everything. He wants ROY, scoring titles, MVPs, etc. I like that he says that. I have seen some argue he should just talk about team success and not individual success, but I'm a bit tired of that. We all know that these guys want the individual awards in addition to the team awards; acknowledging the reality of wanting individual awards isn't a bad thing.

Plus, I bet money that those complaining about Green (or anyone) saying he wants an individual award also complains about how athlete interviews are so plain and boring now.

 

No Jalen was being petty because they did not pick him number one lol. What did Harden do? He asked out, thats it. The maskless stuff was freaking dumb though and everyone should be mad at him for that. But other than that, we got assets from trading a player. That it. It was handled poorly by both sides but Harden did way more good for Houston than he's ever done bad.

 

Its an opinion. It doesn’t really matter.

Nobody in Detroit is being harmed by their city being called boring.

 

Pretty benign comments to me. Detroit is cold AF during basketball season and that is probably all he is referring to. He is a Cali kid, he likes the warm weather where he can go outside and do more things, nothing to see here.

 

This team was boring AF last year. If he wants to talk a little smack have at it. He’ll have plenty of opportunity to back it up.

 

when harden let go of MDA, Morey, and defensive anchor ROCO and traded WB for Wall and got Cousins (ROCO replacement)

What did people expect Harden to do? be Wall's co tank commander? or be a good boy and allow the org to "showcase" him to up his trade value?

 

We offered Olynyk a contract?

PJ Tucker had no choice going to Milwaukee, and here he is now in Miami
