    Sengun. I love centers with post games and became a young Rockets fan via the Dream Shake. I also love centers who can create and play inside out.

    So Sengun was created in a lab to be my current favorite Rocket.

    We need an AI to count the positive posters and negative posters of each player each day and report the result down to the second. It'd be like the stock tickers at the top of the website.

    Jalen and Alpi are my 1a and 1b, but seeing as nobody is voting for Jalen I gotta help him out!

    I enjoy watching athletes move around, and there are very few who can do it like Green…also Amen, who might be an even BETTER athlete?? We have some ridiculous movers on this roster, man.

    Maybe if you weren’t biased and formulated an assessment based on facts not conjecture you would come to a different conclusion over a year ago. Again OTE was an alternate route to the pros. To call it a fake league filled with high school kids is ignorant. There were several 5 star recruit College players like Rob Dillingham. There were several players with FIBA experience and U17 experience. Amen forgo his senior year in high school to play in OTE.

    reed isn’t that good if you want to talk about value. To each his own I suppose.

    If Jalen was in Reed’s body would he receive the same amount of hate? Or would people hype him up and prop him up celebrating every dunk every exciting play giving him more leeway and slack? Intriguing

    Easy buddy, I said I didn’t watch basketball outside of the NBA (the definition of ignorance, as I was just listening to talking heads) and I readily admitted I was wrong. I dont have weird hang-ups about having to be right all the time. I legit don’t understand why people go searching for negativity on the Internet. It’s Sunday friend. Much better ways to let go of that pent up hostility. You could go for a walk or something.

    I simply said You were ignorant and your assessment was from misinformation and bias. This is a fact. If you’re in your feelings about this that’s on you to resolve.

    I don't think it's skin color. I think its the expectations put on Jalen as being picked 2nd in a pretty strong draft vs. Sheppard being picked third in a historically poor draft. Jalen's histrionics (which is common with young people) also turn off older people for the most part, especially since he plays so inconsistently. For instance, I absolutely abhor when a defensive football player makes a big hit when his team is getting slaughtered on the scoreboard and acts like he has done something really special, but that's just me. When Green gets a breakaway slam after being putrid for 75% of the game, it looks ridiculous to me. If Sheppard did the same thing, I'd be equally annoyed. I don't hold it against Green or any other young guy, it has become part of the PR associated with pro sports. I think accreditating racism as a cause when it is unapparent does more to hurt the cause than help it.
