    OP would never claim that JJ Reddick looks like he’s done some time

    “He would be hanging out with his little sister most of the time at the elementary school, which was 15 feet away from the high school, during lunch,” Doherty said. “He was either in the gym, in class or with his younger sister. He would eat lunch with her and her classmates who didn’t know he was a future NBA player. Jalen shut off any distractions. Video games. Girls. It was a Prolific business trip.”

    Sure sounds like the makings of a menace :confused::rolleyes:. We struck gold in the lottery with a kid that's absolutely aces both on and off the court, and yet some here still just want to knock him down. You hate to see it.

    Yeah. I read he has never even been to a concert. And yet some are afraid he's going to immediately starting hanging out with rappers. It makes no sense.

    Why do you immediately turn to racism to defend others? Not cool man.

    The draft is a crap shoot exactly because so many players aren't mature enough to realize their full potential, and Green is no exception.

    We can project all we want, but it won't be his talent and his athleticism that holds him back if he doesn't succeed, it will be his intellect and worth ethic.

    This IS the main concern, even if you're too wrapped up in your racist **** to notice.

    Obvious profiling and it's pretty lame.

    Change his race in your mind or just look at him as a 20 year old kid who worked extemely hard to start living his dream.

    Are these guys criminals? What if some are flashy or confident?

    If he's as good as I think he's going to be I don't care if he gets a tattoo like Tyson on his face. People worry about weird ****

    I’m 38, I have both arms sleeved, my chest, my back and my right leg done. I run a very successful business that has a revenue of 12million a year.

    I did not realize tattoos play a role into how successful someone can be. I started getting tattoos at 17.

    this is the problem with people. Stop judging them based on appearance, skin pigmentation and gender. He said he wants to average 30/game. I welcome all to set high goals to accomplish. After he wins rookie of the year and averages 30/game next goal should be MVP.

    Stop being okay with average. Pretty sure your unhappy in life by your critical judgements of this young man.

    I want my business to become a billion dollar market cap so I can sell it and sit on my ass and critique YOUR post. Big wishes there. Anit nothing wrong with that.

    A planet-killing gamma ray burst is what you should really be worried about.

    That, and dolphins evolving opposable thumbs: https://www.theonion.com/dolphins-evolve-opposable-thumbs-1819565718

    "I believe I speak for the entire human race when I say, 'Holy f**k,'" said Oceanographic Institute director Dr. James Aoki, noting that the dolphin has a cranial capacity 40 percent greater than that of humans. "That's it for us monkeys."

    JR predraft: elite scorer, bad apple reputation, low effort on defense, no intangible (lol on this one)

    Green preseason: elite scorer, might have maturity issue but matured over the last year, skinny frame (need to bulk up for effective defense), gym rat, somewhat weak handle

    Porter has tats. PJ Tucker had some interesting tats to say the least. Ariza. Others for sure.

    Not my body, not my choice.

    Also I have tattoos. My body, my choice. One can ponder the choices and the reasons why but nobody ever really has except my mom who uses criticism and judgment to get her way on things that she really has no say over.

    Imagine telling a rich, grown man (what he would be if he killed somebody) what to do with his body. For shame.

    Also, JR Smith is an NBA champion.

    Terrible take.

    -500 points.

    Reassess.

    Now this, ladies and gentlemen, is a man with a rational set of fears.
