    Seeing what good shape Kerr has team USA in, that's not especially damning.

    Lmao bro
    Wait you’re telling me that Ant and Wiseman were in the same draft and Warriors chose Wiseman instead of Ant?

    They are in the same draft. But no, Warriors couldn't have drafted Ant. Minny picked him #1. Warriors had the 2nd pick.

    The tweet said that Kerr had doubt about Ant's willingness to work hard to improve from his raw talent. And they took Wiseman who isn't exactly improving from his raw talent either. Meanwhile, Ant has become one of the best young players in the league.

    I'm so glad that the one year the Warriors got a high pick because of injuries (and some tanking), they picked a bust.

    I keep wondering: was I just younger and more enthused... or was the L significantly more fun to watch, just as a product?

    (I know, "why not both" gif)

    I have found that most people think they're preferred sports league was best when they were younger (usually under 30).

    When I was watching Shaq/Kobe my dad was telling me how much better it was watching DrJ/Kareem/Wilt etc.

    I think that makes sense. And I'm not immune to that, at all (and I loved watching Dr. J too).

    He’s fun to watch tho. I think he’ll get better. I wouldn’t mind him leaving and joining the rockets tho.

    This. People fawn over him because he can't shut his mouth and puts up decent numbers. The SG position has largely phased out by point guards, jumbo point guards, point forwards, crazy wings and hub centers. It's a tweener position that Jalen Suggs embodies better than anyone else. Play defense. Shoot 3s.

    Ants “GREATNESS” doesn’t feel authentic. He’s like the new age Derick rose. Rose got credit for those bills teams but it was largely the defensive mind of thibs that kept that team winning so much.

    just like the current Timberwolves coach also having a defensive background and then you add rudy gobert(who despite the hate) is a defensive monster
