    Dude, then say I have not the argument you like to hear, if you read carefully, my focal point wasn't the selfishness but he seems to play the hypocritical card here, he said he was the most unselfish guy but all he took was bad shots.

    Of course I am not the best poster here, at least I am genuine as a flawed person, I am happy to admit.

    I also know how it feels to be misunderstood.

    Now he has a decent couple games, people flock to his aid.

    FYI I never use the word 'hater' lightly, you better do the same.

    You read too much into it, never called you hater or anything, I had fun with the way you are typing things that is all but I will gladly refrain from it then.

    There's $2.3 million reasons one should be upset about being passed from No.1 to No.3. just saying

    You got a point. You got to take consolation that you still earn more than the majority of rookies.

    I want to frame this play because I know we are only going to see it once a game.

    lmao now that Jabari is playing better people will find any little thing to throw shade. now the fact he was upset he didnt go 1st in the draft is being used as a slight against him. He has not shown himself to be a selfish person/player at all. you are literally making that up

    Legit one of the weirdest criticisms I've ever seen.

    It didn't make sense back then but it gradually dawned to me after I hear people on other pages talking about his short fuse but fortunately it remained on court so it was nothing domestic case related.

    Has a weird chip in his shoulder that surpasses the normal one IMHO. Just my thinking.

    Jabari going through a roooough stretch early in the season almost exactly like Jalen Green last year is actually hilarious.

    Two 20 point games in a row.

    Yeah was going to say the same thing. Veerrrryyyy weird to say what you said regarding a a 19 year old that the media and the magic told him he was going first for weeks or months. He was surprised and his reaction was 100% justified. A literal facial expression…


    Weird post man

    Have you lived under the rock, he literally went at Green during a TO and now he was making the whole Trae Dejounte stuff a thing which it isn't.

    The Hawks are not even a tough franchise to pick a minor beef with

    I swear people's memories are short term and they don't see it.

    The season is pointless and so are these discussions I guess.

    I want to frame this post - but lol, you're going to be up on this "Jabari isn't allowed to shoot enough" silliness regardless of what happens in reality (17 more attempts last night) - no need to frame it because the pony is going to

    keep. doing. his trick.

    See you tomorrow with the same stuff.

    Im glad Smith's 3 point shot is finally falling. Instead of just waiting for open shots he needs to take more contested looks over people. That's the point of him

    Wtf does that have to do with being surprised you were not picked first when you were told otherwise??

    It’s odd to even think that much less type it out.

    Him and Green getting into it is a completely separate incident and related in no way that I can discern. You can pretend it is mr psycho analyst but it is not.

    Wtf are even you getting at.

    99% of NBA prospects would be over the moon at being picked 3rd.

    Ridiculous response, it stands that his facial expression was one the most priceless ones, now forever indelibly saved on tape..

    Yeah, the media was dead wrong about him and Banchero so falling for that was probably a mistake from his reps' side.

    The Green incident was one incident that shouldn't have happened with a rookie.

    I have never seen anything like that.

    Just another to add.. all 5 of Jabari’s 3 point makes last night were contested, some very heavily contested. That is so damn special!! He’s only 19 and he’s gonna get better. The 6’10” Klay Thompson was on full display beyond the arc. He also has that fire and doesn’t take no ****, gotta love it!

    Yeah other 99% nba prospects are relevant because they are all told universally that they are going # 1 overall from the team with the pick along with the media reporting for a month that they all are going 1.

    Your different take is weird AF. I’m trying to deal with it. Thinking about calling the 1-800-odd-take hotline to report your malfeasance of clutchfans.

    Ok I guess I was wrong about you too.

    We are all a bit wiser now lol you do you.

    Just run along.

    Weird is your obsession with the one post that has nothing to do with you.. weird is you taking people on the interweb seriously.

    Do you think I call out you on every post you have a controversial take on, I wouldn't be able to have time for normal life.

    Dude, Clutchfans is monetized now, the customer is still respected, you can dial any number you like.
