    And I said specifically that the term is used loosely and disrespectful and Im sure matthews will whoop your ass. And if you use that word why not clarify what you are actually comparing and how about this? Not use the word? Like me coming to your job and saying you’re a scrub dentist and you are supposed to understand Im comparing you to other dentists using a disrespectful term? Especially when I never been s dentist or never played the game at a high level or for some any level? Thanks for your response.

    Why tf would I have to clarify? It’s obvious that we are comparing players to their peers. If u were to simple minded to get the memo, then that’s your problem.

    I said they would whoop anyone who has never played the game at any level. Theres great streetblallers out there or guys who never made it to the pros that are really good and I mentioned this in the Srub section that the separation isn’t as apparent outside an NBA game. Like in boxing or fighting. Outside the realm and rules of MMA its not as apparent.

    Is this guy for real? When people say a player is unathletic or a scrub, they are obviously not comparing them to Joe Blow at the local YMCA. What a strange thread....

    i said the term is used loosely and disrespectful and i made it clear on what it means and how its used in everyday lexicon/language. Especially for those who never played the game.

    You proved yourself to not be able to read and comprehend and judgemental and a disrespectful person. And if you disagree then great no need to bash and name call like a heathen. Oh you never answered me when i asked you months ago. Have you played basketball at any level? Be honest.

    u proved yourself an idiot…yeah, I have, and that’s irrelevant anyways…if u are too simple minded to understand who people are comparing NBA players to, then u are just dumb

    by your simple minded logic, u should stop all that b*tching about KPJ and saying he sucks/can’t be a PG…pretty sure he’d fck u up with ease and is a million times better PG then your bum ass could ever be

    that’s how dumb u sound with this thread

    U really thought u had something with this? Lol, just stop it

    This site? Try the internet, if you put yourself out there, prepare to get the hate.......or criticism.....most of it from people too lazy to put the work in themselves.

    When people call an NBA player a scrub, they are comparing them to other NBA players.

    Now dude goes around talking about dentists and ****. The last time I checked there weren't a lot of amateur dentists practicing in their garages. So if a dentist botches some **** and I tell him he sucks and I am never going back; I am comparing him to other professional dentists, not Billy Bob with a Fifth of Jack and some pliers.

    If you read what I wrote I said the term is used too loosely to describe a professional NBA player something neither you or I are or most of the people on this site are. Its a disrespectful term in itself and it shows a lack of understanding of the work it takes to get to that level. If you have never got there yourself then no need to use such simple dismissive and hateful terms. I have learned you are a hater and angry person i mean look at your response someone would think i Fu@ked your boyfriend or girlfriend. I guess that’s why you use the term. It certainly isn’t a positive term is it? Is it uplifting? Is it judgemental? Its used widely and accepted in our culture. My take is better words can be used especially for people who never even touched a basketball. I may have said in frustration in game threads that KPJ sucks but if you read and I know it’s hard for you I said he can be a very good player he just makes bad decisions and need to be on a team with vets and stars or the bench. So once again relax read and comprehend instead of judge and being a trash person ok? And i still don’t believe you played but ok you said it so it must be true

    Scrub. I didn’t say sucks did I? I said scrub to describe someone. Stay on topic here. And your amateur dentist analogy isn’t even the point. People can read medical journals and if you talked to a human being lately most
    People are pseudo doctors and scientists reading web MD and watching YouTube. You who may never played will be that guy reading web MD.

    Im in my feelings and you curse up a storm? Its obvious you are emotional otherwise you wouldn’t respond or curse lol. I already said I wrote things in frustration on game threads. I take accountability for that but I have not used the word loosely like you. Wow you spent time to dig up past posts just to respond and have a rebuttal? Lol Dig up what I wrote about KPJ. Are you going to post that? You judging me as a nobody speaks to your own character. As much as I think you are trash you are not irredeemable.
