    LOL, love the optimism!

    Honestly though, given that he's a player with absolutely no skill whatsoever, if he manages to finally become a league average player at 32, when his athleticism will have dipped, it'll mean that he finally learned how to play the game of basketball, so that would be a good thing.

    The most likely scenario is that he's out of the league entirely once his athleticism dips even a little bit given that he can't shoot, he can't pass, and he's not a defender.

    He should have a few seasons left before that happens.

    50 dollar tip jar bet and a fancy drink that Jalen’s gonna be an all-star at some point. The Rockets are my religion, and I have faith ;)

    I'll absolutely take that bet. I know that the All Star game doesn't have the best history with how they pick their players....and high volume low efficiency scoring with occasional flashy dunks is appealing to casuals, but it's still MUCH more likely that he's out of the league entirely in 5 years than him ever making an All Star game.

    This is EXACTLY the kind of bet I like, if what I think is almost certainly going to happen ends up happening, I win the bet.....if I'm wrong, it is good for the Rockets meaning I also win.

    I thought Fred was his issue now it's Alpi. This guy can't play with anyone but Adam's. Maybe he should come off the bench with Adam's if he's that limited by starters.

    At some point lol. Fred was an allstar at some point. Some point can be 29 that doesn't help us.

    Fred has PG skills though, Jalen doesn't. A player who bases 100% of their game on raw athleticism has a much shorter window to make an All Star game.

    I mean, the bet could also be at some time with the Rockets. If I win the bet, everyone is happy. If I lose the bet, nobody is happy but at least Clutchfans gets a nice tip (and a fancy drink)

    Sure? Even if it is a poor drink, that is a lot for one guy to pay.

    Another assumption lmao. You and those of your ilk can’t help saying things without any logical or factual basis can you?

    The masses and hordes of miserable biased haters come out the closet. I have helped them all come out their shell to reveal their true hate, bias, and misinformation. Their fullest self revealed.

    If you noticed most of them have no commentary or in depth analysis on what they watch. They have no thoughtful response to my assessments and fresh perspectives other than “you’re a jalen lover” and “you wear mascara”. They can insult players but can’t take bluntness and honesty and into their feelings when I call then out Lmao. The lame Metrics Boys/No Analysis Team of dumbasses strikes again!

    ... the offense literally used to grind to a stand still while everyone was forced to do nothing but ensure Jalen got the ball early and often in games last season just so the precious clown could feel good about himself.

    And guess what, the results come the end of the game were much the same as always - ie garbage.

    The excuses to justify why Jalen isn't playing well is beyond outrageous at this point. There's been literally four years of excuse after excuse after excuse as to why he isn't - not even a superstar - just a average calibre starting NBA player.

    At what bloody point do people realise - holy heck - maybe Jalen is the problem.

    This stuff is rocket science apparently.

    Nope you outrageously missed the point

    This is a great example of not understanding what you’re watching with no im depth analysis or even an example of what you observed. Thank you allowing me to use you as an example.

    Also you used “clown”. Another example of hate.
