    Maybe learn better grammar before acting like a cocky know-it-all. You just sound dumb to me.

    I am better than you in your own language you would look like that baby in coughing baby meme speaking to me in my language. I'd atomize you with a single post.

    Yes, it’s scary how much good you are at English.

    Out of curiosity, what's your first language?

    Next thing you are gonna say is that you don't want brown people on CF and clutch should set up a firewall for that.

    The thing that I am the most curious about is, what compels someone to type up such a long post. Granted I didn't read it all but the first few sentences made it clear what you want so here it goes

    Ohh who is a smart boy? You are are, yes you are the smartest person in the whole wide world.

    Curious about that? Weird. Are you also curious about why humans drink some transparent liquid every day?

    I, personally, find @invocux style entertaining. Puts up effort to provide original content and puts himself out there with outlandish claims.
    I also think it's an act.

    For anyone who cares, here is the video of the game with Cam's 42-point performance. His plays and location in the video are in the spoiler. He had an awesome first 3 quarters and did almost all of his scoring damage in those quarters, but it looked like in the 4th quarter they were just letting him try to get buckets and he was missing left and right on 3's attempting to do so :



    1st Quarter

    10:45 - Cam gets switched off on Jemison (their center) and denies the drive on the baseline.
    10:16 - Cam gets the ball and goes to an opening in the defense and methodically does a stepback and hits for 2 over Jemison
    09:00 - Cam tries to sidestep a defender and launch a 3, but misses.
    08:03 - Cam gets the cross-court lob from Hinton and drops from the heavens to ram a alley-oop dunk home.
    06:49 - Cam in transition drives the ball all the way for a layup
    05:40 - Cam gets the ball and throws up an off-balance shot at the basket and makes it while getting fouled. Misses FT.
    05:15 - Hill drives on Cam, who swipes at the ball on the drive, but couldn't stop the bucket.
    04:40 - Cam gets the ball, so what's a guy to do but casually launch a 3? lol. Miss.
    03:20 - Cam goes out.

    2nd Quarter

    09:55 - Cam back in
    08:51 - Nate Hinton launces a perfect alley-oop pass from beyond half-court to a streaking Cam who was calling for it for a dunk
    08:20 - Birmingham player tries an outlet pass to start a break, but Cam leaps and tips the pass. As it's going out of bounds he and Days both crash into the press table trying to save it. Nice hustle.
    08:13 - Brockington drives with Cam on defense. Cam jumps with him and looks like he tips/blocks the shot. Nice defense on a smaller player.
    07:50 - Cam gets the ball at the 3 pt. line with 5 seconds left on the shot clock. He chooses to drive and blow by the defender. He misses the layup.
    07:30 - This is a beautiful play worth a watch; a foul was called, but it better not have been on Cam; may have been on Hinton : Birmingham is running a break, Cam is playing the role of a predator behind Brockington who's going in for a layup. At the last second, he launches, slaps the shot away with his left hand and slaps the backboard with his right hand like he was trying break the backboard. Turn your speakers up.
    05:25 - Cam gets put on the center and tries to steal the ball before he gets posted up and dunked on, but misses the swipe attempt and Jemison gets the easy dunk.
    05:12 - Cam gets the ball at the 3 pt. line decides to drive and do a bunnyhop layup for an and-1. Hits the FT.
    04:30 - I swear Cam does this about once a game or every other game. He doesn't know how much time is left on the clock when he gets it, so he just dribbles to set up a shot or drive, and gets called for a shot-clock violation while dribbling around looking for an opening. In fairness to him, this time the clock probably should've reset to 14 on the out-of-bounds.
    04:20 - Cam makes up for it by stealing the ball and streaking in for a layup. Nate Hinton on the bench doesn't seem to be impressed as he probably expected Cam to take the rim down with a dunk.
    03:45 - Cam drives in on the smaller man, almost loses the ball, but converts the bucket.
    02:52 - Cam goes out

    3rd Quarter

    12:00 - Cam in
    11:55 - Cam hits a 26 ft. 3.
    10:35 - Samuels knocks the ball away from Seabron. Cam picks it up and evades the 1-on-1 defender (Seabron) for a difficult layup.
    08:43 - Cam misses the dunk attempt on the break but is fouled. FT good.
    08:25 - Cam gets the rebound and tries to take it all the way on a one-man break, misses the layup, but is fouled.
    08:05 - Samuels steals the Birmingham save attempt and passes it to Cam who pops a 3.
    07:20 - Cam hits another 3 from about 25 feet.
    06:20 - Cam pops another 3. This one he decided to back up and take it with a hand in his face.
    06:01 - Cam attempts to lunge for a steal and misses.
    05:45 - Cam nearly rips somebodys arm off going for the rebound. lol.
    04:25 - Cam looks to go one-on-one but instead shoots another 3 from about 25-26 feet but airballs it.
    04:05 - Cam goes out.

    4th Quarter

    08:51 - Cam back in.
    08:51 - Samuels rebounds his FT miss and passes it to Cam under the basket for layup.
    08:20 - Cam gets the errant Birmingham pass and launches it ahead to Trhae Mitchell for the easy 2.
    07:06 - Cam launches a 3 from about 27 feet. Close, but misses. Not sure how good a shot this was especially being up 49. lol.
    06:30 - Cam rips the rebound down and takes it all the way down for an attempted layup but gets swatted from behind.
    06:05 - Cam tries another 3 and bricks it. At this point, I'm guessing they're just trying to get him his 40 (or more) and he has the green light.
    05:35 - Cam drives in, throws the ball up off-balance, misses, but gets the late call. FT is good.
    05:00 - Cam jacks up another 3 and misses.
    04:05 - Cam tries another 3. Hits it for his 42 points.
    03:40 - Cam brings the ball up-court, tries to do crossovers and dribbles to shake the defender, but turns the ball over.
    03:24 - Cam goes out of the game and is done for the night.

    i honestly think Cam is in the g-league for his attitude and nothing else. I think Ime is trying to humble him. He does seem very distant from his teammates and honestly it's emulated in how he plays. Very Cam-first.

    I wouldn't be surprised if he was b****ing about playtime the first couple of weeks and Ime said "hey if you want to play here is where you can play". You don't want that negative energy on the bench of a team of developing players.

    The talent is undeniable but can he buy into team basketball? Remember it's a group of humans that exist on and off the court together.
