    And you best believe it was the greatest game of basketball ever played. Yao and Jokic combined but better... literally.

    (Also he was 22 he better have been good)

    It's fine to not like a player and think he's gonna fail (I make my feelings known about players I'm not high on), but I really don't understand the mindset of posters who really dig in extremely hard hating a player and make it their whole personality. A post can't be made without them rushing in to say he sucks like some sort of twitter bot.

    Either he sucks (good for you), and the team you supposedly root for is worse off. Or he kills it and you get perpetually clowned for it, it's a lose/lose scenario.

    Idiots like you, maybe it was you, said the same thing about Sengun when Ime came here last year. And then Ime made Sengun the go to player of the team. Same thing with Reed, Ime already loves him.

    That doesn't mean ****. He got beat on a few possessions by a 4th year player in one of the games. That makes him a bust.

    Reed has to show he can help the Rockets win. If he plays poorly in camp, he likely doesn’t play - but I also think if he looks good in camp Ime will give him minutes.

    i think Edey is going to play way more than Reed. but when the narrative sets in, it really goes crazy.. I hope reed does get the ROY.

    You literally made a bet that you lost where you said you'd drink your own c*m. It's impossible for you to own anybody any worse than you completely obliterated yourself lmao.

    Hello dumbass. The bet was for Jalen not being able to beat Anthony Edwards post allstar rookie improvement. No one took that bet against me, which I would have won. More importantly, to the point of the bet, after four years now no one in their right minds would ever compare Jalen Green with Anthony Edwards again.

    You do realize that he shot a measly 28% from 3 right? You do realize that big bottom Nix gave him hell defensively right? To the tune of 9 turnovers. Edey would have by far been the better player had he only played 2 more games.

    You do realize that makes what he was able to do even more impressive, right?

    His 3 wasn't falling, but he still got his own points and was creating for others AND being an impact defensive player too.

    Harping on the fact that he got beat up on a bit by a 4th year player while carrying some of the worst players I've ever seen in my life on his back and ONLY put up 20/7/5 with 2 steals and a block...while his 3 point shot wasn't falling due to fatigue.....that's pretty special.

    Edey can't even stay on the court and all of the other garbage players you simped for played like ass.

    You might want to sit this one out.

    So I got the details a bit wrong, you still offered a bet to drink your own c*m. You don't really get to call people dumbass when that's a true statement. Imagine trying to use basketball as part of your weird fantasies, you nasty ass mu****er hahaha.

    For real. Out of the millions of types of bets he could have taken, this was the only one that CAME to mind? Wow!

    These dingbats didn't even put Edey second. That tells you a lot about how ass backwards they are.

    I had Edey in my top 4.

    I Would have drafted him #3.

    Kel'el Ware will probably standout and be. ROY on that team as he will appear better
    than Dereck Lively did last year. Also in my top 4 before the draft.

    As usual, the Rockets don't bring in real challenges to Sengun at Center. Edey has proved
    at two combines in a row that he can shoot the 3 pointer. Marc Gasol for years didn't
    show he could shoot 3's.....Edey will eventually be allowed to display that talent.

    Edey will be better than Sengun, will look like Wemby overshadowing Jabari last
    season as Edey will make Sengun look like a kid. All those pump fakes by the
    rim by Sengun will be wasted as Edey blocks shots without leaving the ground.

    Edey has hook shots from 10 feet with either hand that Sengun won't come close to blocking.




    In the video above, a tweet is reposted showing Edey time running was faster than
    Kawhi Leonard, Siakim, Tyus Jones and other NBA players

    Here's what has been kept secret by everyone according to my sauces. . . Sengun grew 2.5 more inches this summer. He's Super Sayan Sengun now and there's no one in the league is going to be able to defend him. So there.

    Hopefully this isn't the same as the last 2 times he grew 2 inches and came back the exact same size haha, it'd be awesome if he was a legit 7 footer.
