    That's only happening because you keep looking at old JR Smith videos.
    Please, for your own sake, stop.

    Its mostly the excitement of having real deal players coming into the league.

    nothing special

    getting strong vibes of Wiggins/parker draft. But I was wrong about kyrie Irving once upon a time

    kyrie was first overall in the 2011 draft.. or 112 backwards. Currently plays in brooklyn which is also 112

    Green a tatted idiot, Cade a sinner who had sex out of wedlock

    Suggs and Mobley are the chads of the draft

    He’ll have been a tremendous player to get the WCF. I take it you have high expectations then!

    Some serious profiling here. Hope you aren’t a cop.

    This is a great point and I was worried about it early but there's a distinction to be made.

    Those who are confident and using shortcuts fall easy.

    Those who are confident and put in the work (a la Kobe, LeBron, MJ) always stay strong.

    We have a really unprecedented quantity of reports that he is a gym rat, it doesn't seem to be something he just says. Coaches, friends, players all say it the kid works hard.

    We have a gem in our hands, whether with us or elsewhere this kid has his ears open.

    The OP is being such a grandpa. This kid does all the right things. He joined the g league, worked extra hard, showed up to summer league and looked a tier above the competition. Working on his strength and finding the open man, constantly making himself accountable to himself as a defender by bringing it up in interviews.

    This guy is a young star, he is killing it in every department at the moment, on the court and off. That's something to be happy about.

    I'm no astrophysicist, but it seems like the earth is pretty cocooned away from being randomly swallowed by a black hole. At least we'd know well before it happened. Based off of that, it's not happening anytime soon.


    Prison rape seems to be a more valid immediate, this-lifetime-based fear.

    That fear does not sound very frightening.

    At worst he becomes better than JR.

    who cares? Tattoos are common these days especially with young people. What does this have to do with anything? Why does his appearance matter to you? What about Steve Nash’s long rock and roll hair or olynk? Do you judge them for their hair or appearance? Or is this somehow two standards? Look at the language you are using. “Blazed” “underage girls” why would this thought even come to your mind? Because in your mind people of his age/demographic or race smokes weed or somehow is involved in illicit or seedy activity? People like you should re-examine how you think about this world. It’s quite disconcerting and disappointing but hey you do you bud as you probably disagree and will formulate a rebuttal for this post. Be well.

    it’s because of a dual standard in these people’s mind. No one says **** about mash or olynk or duncan Robinson. No one says **** about Doncic oh yeah he’s got a tat as well btw. Bird was seen as a God in his hey day. Two worlds forever two worlds two standards. Judgement. This is what’s wrong with this country.

    Lebron was tatted up. Your words show your hatred and judgement associating prison to this young man who happens to be black. The words we choose matters and reflects a thought process. In your case it’s disgusting you chose to associate what has long been a painful issue within the black community in terms of unfair and longer imprisonment such as looking at a white woman or minor offenses such as using mar1juana. It’s a matter of empathy knowledge and understanding which you have none. Instead you already judge his character based on his appearance. This makes you wrong and hateful.

    This is a reasonable fear, they are trying to control internet already. And some countries like China already are at home.
