    Can't help but laugh at someone who's so petrified at the idea of admitting he was wrong that he resorts to spewing out juvenile condescension. :D

    Nobody here takes you seriously, but don't let that stop you from being our court jester, BTG.

    Lol he's the worst poster here but that doesn't stop his hubris by any stretch.

    Pure comedy.

    He’s a pure narcissist. Textbook. Highly insecure about being challenged, never can admit he’s wrong, inflated sense of his importance, etc. Jalen could win 5 MVPs and he would still be spinning it as if he were right all along.

    It's fine if you are too dumb to follow along with what I said. I don't expect much from a lot of you.

    The future doesn't change the past. Think on that concept for a while.

    What more likely, that those of us who understood Jalen's potential and didn't freak out when he played poorly were dumb? Or that you're just a terrible judge of basketball talent with a big mouth and a fragile ego?

    Don't bother to answer. At this point, you've pretty much run out of not-even-clever names to call people.

    I know you are deep in your feelings right now, but what you are crying like a b**** about wasn't being discussed.

    So yeah, you're pretty dumb.

    The past in which you wanted Jalen Green gone and said he had zero value, which means you didn't believe in his potential. So you've always been wrong about him in the way that matters, whether he was worth having on the team.

    I am not a person who has blind faith, I saw early on his glaring weaknesses and I didn't assume he'd overcome those weaknesses like many of his worshippers.

    Jalen was always going to need to become a good rather than streaky shooter for him to be a positive player on the court.

    Up until VERY recently, he was having his worst shooting season ever following 3 terrible seasons. Normal people doubted if he'd ever turn it around while the blind faith worshippers never allowed evidence to shake their faith.

    I guess they can pat themselves on the back for that, but I don't see it as a good thing even if this time Jalen's hot play is indicative of something real rather than just a fluke like all of the times before.

    Either way, it doesn't really matter. Those types of people are still mindless, but in this instance it'll be a good thing if their blind faith pays off because it'll be a good thing for the team.

    The past where he was blowing KPJ as if he was the superstar on the team. The same KPJ that still sucks. DD rivals Bobby the Gimp when it comes to being a bad talent evaluator. DD is the better person though.

    Just wanted to remind @MystikArkitect of our 100 usd tip jar bet that 22 yr old Sheppard will be as good as 22 yr old Jalen Green. It aint looking good chief IMO.

    He also wasn't given the opportunity to be terrible for several years without repercussions....

    Funny that you can't just be happy about his current 5 game hot streak.
