    And if he doesnt reach Jokic levels of domination then it will be because of the coach, the teammates, the rim being too tight, the AC in the building, the cheerleaders or the beer guys in the aisles. IT WILL NEVER BE BECAUSE SENGUN WASNT GOOD ENOUGH - mark my words. SOFs have created a lose/lose with Houston Rocket fans.

    Don't forget the refs, they're clearly racist & have a agenda to rob Sengun if MVP

    I'm pretty sure, SOF or not, everyone is sick of reading your hypothetical bullshit posts over and over again.

    Meh at least he doesn’t try to turn every thread he participates in into a Sengun thread.

    It's actually the opposite:

    The few Sengun haters here - and it's only a handful - have created this crazy expectation that he is a failure if he does NOT reach Jokic level. That's so ridiculous.

    He is already a great young talent.

    But instead of enjoying that, a few guys here - @maj21, @Verbal Christ, @rocketchamp, @astrosrule - maybe a couple others, can't remember - hate the kid so much, for whatever reason, that you keep making up new crap to make him look bad.

    It's borderline pathological.

    I'm not saying KPJ will be a failure unless he becomes better than Jordan.

    My issues with KPJ are more with his attitude, despite all the lip service out of the Rockets organization.

Am i a kpj hater because i spent all summer arguing he's worse then brunson?

    Who actually said sengun was better than Jokic? I wonder if there's a term for inventing a stance nobody actually has in order to argue against it.

    What stands out with Verbal is not his dumbness or hate but his racist remarks that clearly explains the deep hatred for Sengun and his fans. Don't know why but he has a problem with Turks, and anybody who would have a problem with a whole nation is surely dumb.

    Its going to always be something! Or that the fans in the lower bowl at Toyota Center are too boring, which causes him not to play up to his peak level.... He couldve had 20/10, instead of 15/7

    Turkish proverb:
    "The caravan does not park
    Because the dogs bark".

    Romanian proverb:
    "Horses do not die because dogs wish for" (source: Mircea Lucescu)

    Historically black people most welcomed in Turkic lands, no racism because original Turkic beief-Tengriism-considers all living organisms are equal, no clerics, something similar to Quakers , there is no "primus inter pares", everybody is same. The current African population in Turkey having no discrimination, no persecution and some strange people discriminating Alp being a Caucasian!!!!

    Tragicomic, nothing else.

    Here is the hypocrisy in the Sengun cult. For every flaw Sengun has, you make excuses or label everybody a hater who disagrees with you saying "relax bro, he's only a 20yr old kid!!". Then you proceed to verbally assault every other young player on the roster who's also around 20yrs old. Sengun is apparently above criticism & gets every excuse in the book when under performs
