    Yep, that's why the Kings are constantly producing such amazing leaders. Constant losing and adversity.

    Not sure what the future of Green is but the fact that half the arguments against him are seemingly based on the fact that he wore a flashy suit to the... NBA draft.... is really something.

    this boomer asked for tape about his latest infatuation in JG in terms of "fight" and then ignores it!! LOLLLL these dudes should not get fueled up on fox and friends or hannity and then start posting -- they cant help themselves and stick to the sport, just have to inject their intolerant takes. Numbnuts even had the nerve to associate my dislike for sunglasses in press conferences to his own homoerotic projections.

    I think i'll go paint my nails black now. All of them! I hope my wife wont divorce me for being "sawft". :rolleyes:

    OK, dude if you can't read I cant help you. Feminine is not a slur, it is a negative trait for basketball players. Same as short. I literally wrote exactly that. If we get insulted for pointing out negative traits about NBA players, well I didn't get that memo.
    Rodman is not feminine, his outfits were stags. Rudy Guiliani also wore a dress...
    In any case, I get who you are. This:

    That's what it always was. They will nitpick and scrutinize him to death. Even if he turns into a star they'll find something. He's been rough around the edges but we all knew that. It's either disingenuous bs or they're all stupid af. Maybe both

    That dude is not a serious person at all. He'll never admit if he is wrong and he deals in hyperbole (like most of the GARM). He either hasn't watched many rookies, high pick or otherwise, or this is the way he copes because his guy wasn't picked. That or he is really really dumb.

    I think he's only beat an NBA defender off the dribble twice in the three games. And one of those instances it was really just the defender trying to jump a screen he anticipated coming but never did, so that's more of a defensive blunder than anything. The one time he took a guy off the dribble other than that was this last game in either the 3rd or 4th, when the game was out of reach.

    I really hope he gets better at driving. I realize we're all spoiled from Harden, who always led guards in points at the rim. But Jalen either needs to bulk up a bit or learn to be more shifty like Trae/Ja/young Steph.

    I believe he will. I'm not declaring him a spot up shooter for the rest of his career. I'm just saying, I have been a little surprised at his inability to take a guy off the dribble so far.

    Nah. Anyone who believes anything other than MY viewpoint is disingenuous or stupid AF.

    After watching the first 3 preseason games, yes, the expectations are a little bit lower. But still, I think that Green will have a good season with ROY under his belt.

    That's funny. That's literally what we all say after we see Green play.

    Oh, I was just going off the energy from the guy I was quoting. Speaking in hilariously incorrect hyperbole.

    Shame you didn't get that.

    Look I'm not saying Green is going to be great but the dude I was referring to has done nothing but play the I told you so game about how he said Green shouldn't be the pick after THREE preseason games. He and seemingly you too are not interested in reality. The reality is rookies have growing pains. 99% of rookies aren't LeBron or Luka and to act like this after 3 preseason games is dumb and non productive. It seems petty and everyone can see it

    Yeah, you don't know sht about me.

    That's what I said after the first half in the Miami game and he wasn't even good, but I still gave him credit for not giving up.

    Nothing you quoted me saying was I told you so, just accurate descriptions of those players currently. You guys really losing your minds because I said he can jump and maybe shoot, when that was exactly how Stone described him after the draft. If you guys can't handle a little bit of criticism after a dog sht game then it's going to be a long year for you, because I'm going to say it again, Green is not good, yet. From day 1 he was drafted with the hope that he will be good one day.
