    C Anthony is a top 10 scorer all time. That’s look at me all you want videos or not.

    Jalen's shot is looking better. Rotation on point and consistent. Also a little more fluid.

    Really like what I am seeing here.

    Jabari is actually the one could have benefited most from training with KD and steal a move or 2 from KD. i hope he got a chance to go the US select team like Jalen in the near future too

    Jabari was at the runs playing with Jalen, KD, Booker, Trae, Chet, etc. From what I watched, he got a full dose of Kevin Durant's training. lol. Durant was a cheat code in the game I watched, but then that's why he's Kevin Durant. They had Jabari guarding him damn-near every play.

    Rockets need to hire me to be their Rico Hines offseason trainer. I too can say, "hoop hard, no hard fouls, and we're here to get better".

    Yes, Carmelo is the living example of being one of the greatest scorers in history and still come up short as a complete player.

    He was a great Olympian though, will give him that.

    Also with a horrible decision of going to NY instead of Miami. Which would have changed everything about him.

    Depends on whether you call defense a skill, because he made anyone he guarded look All-NBA.



    A contemporaneous account at the time of the cut.

    Does defense count as a skill for Alperen Sengun? Or do we only apply defense to american born players we personally dislike

    Jalen wants that max rookie extension so that's why he's putting in work this off-season

    Not only that he could have just waited few months to become free agent and still chose Knicks where they wouldn't have to gut their roster to acquire him via trade

    But Miami move would have been way easier path to Finals

    People also forget that he chose to resign with the Knicks instead of going to the Bulls in 2014, who despite the "Key to a Championship Formula" posters, were considered the favorites to sign him.
