    No I mean his reply suggest anything with Turkish in it is cringey. That def alludes to him thinking something is wrong with people putting nationality in nicknames. Regardless he is allowed to feel that way Im just saying if your form turkey ofcourse its cringey but Alpie is playing in America so it wont be cringey to us. People are gonna still use it is my point and its not meant as an insult.

    You quoted me first, are you honestly this stupid? You started this entire exchange, if you're too much of an idiot to remember your own actions then that's hardly my fault. Go blame your parents for raising you wrong. Weirdo.

    Everyone can see how angry you got over Wizard lol Meanwhile I could care less dude. I honestly was just being nice to Tari because dude said it was trash and I was saying I wouldnt go that far. Youre such an angry prick over a nickname. Now saying Im crying and bro I dont even care. I dont care lol Calling me a weirdo and you were wrong saying I liked Wizard but still calling me a weirdo lol You clearly are angry about life and needed someone to pick on. Now attacking my parents what a douche.

    I've been reading and hearing from analysts that Sengun is used better on the National team. I'd argue that Ataman has copied and pasted Ime's work. Lol. Especially, defensively on screens.

    Offensively, we saw the inverted pick and roll between Alpi and PG for the first time late in the regular season.Ataman getting credited for that twist.
    Encouraging and urging Alpi with the 'teen wolf' set from the top of the 3pt line drive was also Ime.

    His vision is phenomenal so it works. I never liked it with The Original Teen Wolf or Tee Wolf too aka #13.

    The only thing is Ataman is doing differently than before is using multiple slashers. But that should be a DUH when you have someone that sees the court like that.

    Ime should pay homage to Ataman and add more cotters. cott it good. cott it.


    I like both disciplinarians so it wasn't meant to be a jab at either. Just cool to see the influences and lessons learned on the court with many to go.

    The GARM is almost complete trash right now. I hate to think how bad it will be when camp, preseason and the regular season get here.

    There are just some people here who are determined to be toxic and hostile while others continue to feed and enable them.

    Alpi in Eurobasket 2025 is something we should all be celebrating.

    Nope, I'm just giving you the energy back you gave me tenfold, and now you're trying backtrack and cry and play victim. It's not flying I'm afraid, nice try though. b****.

That **** makes no sense becuase its not true and you are a ****ing dick. Im just gonna put you on ignore. Anyone who gets this upset over a nickname is nowhere worth my time or attention lol Get a life.

    Friday 1 pm CST vs Greece and Giannis. I haven't had a chance to see the Greek team play in this tournament, but my guess is this will be a hard fought game.

    I love that Alpi is getting this kind of experience in the summer, playing in games with high stakes and being asked to be a leader.

    Imagine if he beats out Giannis head to head too? Incredible. Jokic, then Giannis. Then the big bad Germans (before anybody gets offended, I absolutely adore German people - it's a joke) in the final? I might even have watched that movie already in the 90's, it was awesome. He's already gone beyond where he was expected, it's amazing to witness, would be really really cool if he went all the way with it.

    People call Yao the Great Wall of China, Giannis the Greek Freak, Turkoglu the Big Turk.

    Nationality has been used for nicknames. Nothing new or strange about it.

    Agreed. Turkish Delight is weak sauce.

    That's why "The Whirling Dervish" is better. It's an homage to Turkey without forcing it, plus it's actually how he plays. He whirls around lot.

    Or we could mash it up. The Dervish Dream. It's good alliteration that seems sacrilege.

    I actually really like that tbh coz it sounds great but yeah I think he'd have to get a couple chips first before he can be the second coming. It does sound really good though when you say it out loud.

    When you think about it Olajuwon has the best nickname tbh. It just sounds so absolutely perfect "Hakeem the Dream Olajuwon" you can't beat it. What rhymes with Alperen? Or Alpi? It's like wrestling names in the 80's, the best ones roll off your tongue lmao.
