    I searched "ion walk" and the results were all about lithium ion walk behind mowers. So that is encouraging. Mowing lawns is a good gig for any teen, and using environmentally friendly battery powered motors shows Jalen cares about the bigger picture.

    I think it translates to "I don't walk away from things to teach some. I move forward because I learned some."

    WTF it means, I don't know, I've never been that high

    Dude you’re reaching. You said struggling a lot of his career. Olajuwon never struggled (individually) in the NBA until he was past his prime. Great scorers have always had spots on the floor where they were more efficient than others. Mid range included. Now Dream had problems recognizing double & triple teams early enough to make passes to open teammates (when they were worth a damn) early in his career. Also those reach in fouls on guards used to drive everyone crazy but that’s about it as far as “struggling”

    lol the players you name are more than 1 or 2 years experienced............only fools compare 21 or younger players with already established players and think they should do the same plays as them. You don't run post up plays for players who are not physically able to do it yet on a consistant basis


    Morey Ball is dead, time to move on buddy

    He doesn't need to play in the G-League. Learns more playing in the NBA

    Jalen Green talks and does too much off the court stuff. You are no longer kids phenomenom. Its grown ass men league and everybody as talented as you. Time to walk the talk. You can tell we have no coach imagine hell Poppovich would give him for all that extra and no production

    Keem Abdul Olajuwon came into the league with 20 and 12. This is night and day.

    Green will eventually pass his scoring average as he is shooting more, and more 3s. There is no comparison here.

    He does not run away to prove a point, he rather learns by moving forward.

    Take lessons in English.

    My theory


    "ion walk away from things to teach sum."
    This translates to "I gonna walk away from the game to teach myself about the game". Which is the idea that a lot of us had in that him being on the bench will "teach" or develop him as he gets to watch the games.

    "I step cause I learned sum"
    This means that when he is ready to "step" again, in other words, play. He will have learned something and be a better player for it.


    This is a slightly cryptic way of him saying that he is developing while sitting, and he will be better when he comes back.

    Man, keep John Wall away from Jalen Green. Green is19 and impressionable. John Wall's out here getting kids in trouble. Not smart by Jalen Green to even put this on the socials. I bet he hears all the chatter from some of you lameos about the team being better without him and is getting salty.

    He was not a terribly efficient scorer because he took a lot of garbage midrange shots.... it's just how it is.

    He's still one of the greatest of all time, but he'd have been a lot better if he had better shot selection that would have led to better offensive efficiency.

    Then why don’t any of our vets run those type of plays if it’s dead? Why do the pregame / post game shows and articles still highlight that as the Rockets strategy.

    look in the mirror when calling someone a fool
