    This video was made 4 months ago, so people can't say Raptor fan sour
    grapes for losing FVv. Hadn't happened.

    Man, it’s pretty bad when you have to rely on a video with 4k views in 4 months.

    This is funny, but imo, it’s also what fans do when they are pissed at a player, start watching them with tainted eyes.

    I’m not really sure what he did so poorly in that video, that you’d think it was worthy of all that effort.

    But when you slow it down, add arrows, narrative, and ominous music, you can make it look anyway you want, sorta like what the FBI does. :cool: :D

    Massai put to much faith on Barnes and Anonuby that made them heads too big specially with that ROY awardee, I thought FVV and SpicyPascal did their best to be leaders, but being unselected to not being top 5 lottery even if they were champions- had no merit from the young players of Toronto... - who I think are low IQ and only high energy young- wait til they get to late 20's.. let us see :D

    Green’s shot looks good. Don’t see his old “hitch.”

    what a crap video... lol! Talk about pulling stuff outta context... the fbi agent - lol! this is a hatchet video - period...
    I would counter with the Blames Hard-on quit video vs SAS with 'i dont care anymore' music accompaniment...

    I'm waiting to see it during the season. I remember his form improving from that chicken wing shot he had in high school, but then somewhere starting to revert back. I've always been of the opinion "who cares, as long as it goes in?" so I'll just wait. I'm more hoping his defense improves than his offense, tbh.

    What's pretty bad is denying the content of God awful play.

    Yule see it first hand though.

    Fvv was the raptors best player and it wasn’t close. You have never seen him play before that’s why you are relying on cherry picked propaganda. But don’t worry, we will be bumping this to expose you soon.

    I like it, a playmaking PG with a quality assist/turnover ratio who creates good looks can really help unlock a player's potential. Looking forward to the season

    https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/nba-player-ratings/

    RAPTOR has FVV ranked tied for 17th in the league while LEBRON has him at 20th. Any all encompassing advanced metric measuring contribution to winning- the only thing that matters- has FVV as a top 20 player and the sht takes in this thread will be bumped and made a fool of I promise you that.

    I'm very skeptical that FVV is actually a top 20 player in the league, but I will say that anybody saying "FVV is a bad inefficient shooter" needs to be taken out back and beaten with a stick, and written on that stick will be "field goal percentage is a terrible way to measure scoring efficiency"
