Turkey vs Poland (aka Alpi doesn’t look any taller)

Did anyone here actually believe he magically grew 4 inches, based on a few tweets from randos?

 

Tari is a rando? Alp himself is a rando?
So now he was 6’7 coming in?

Y’all need to stop. The dude is 6’11. He is what he is. He’s still the best young player on the Rockets currently

 

Sengun literally said it himself. He said he was measured at 212cm without shoes. Thats 6 feet and 11.46 inches.

 

And even if he were a bit smaller
He'd make you scream, make you holler
V2.0, no uninstaller
My man's a star, a true rock'n roller

 

did he say it in english? I don’t trust random translations. Also he could be lying to prop up himself. I won’t believe it unless I measure him myself. I believe every other nba player but Sengun. That rascal would do anything.

 

I agree.
In fact "212 santimetre" could be interpreted in a variety of ways.
On the surface, it's "212 centimeters"; The layman would simply use Google Translate to find this out... But when have we ever trusted Goog-T?
Let's dig a little deeper: in old English gravediggers' slang "digging 7 feet" means taking extra precaution, 212 cm being close to 7 ft instead of the usual 6-ft norm for burials. Derived from that, today it would be paraphrased as "going the extra mile", if you will.
212 is also the area code for the European side of Istanbul. (Bosphorus separating Asia from Europe yadda yadda...) This could mean if his ruse about his height is ever found out, he would come back to play for Galatasaray or Besiktas, both European side teams.
As a spiritual number, 212 symbolizes "God's command forsaken". (213 being "God's deeds forgotten" and 214 "God's worship insincere".) This might be an allusion to last year's misuse of Senhub and/or a warning to Ime Udoka from Sengod.
In numerology, prime numbers are regal. A prime number (53) times 4 could very well mean Sengun thinks the team's core consists of four players: Trevor, Dillon, Boban and Himself.
Oh, he's good! Sneaky intellectual!

 

But did you actually believe him?

 

First 5 seconds : first assist.

 

Is there a link?

Damn he looks GREAT physically. Looks like he's strengthened his core AND added muscle because there's no loss of explosiveness with that added weight. Don't know enough about Poland to know if their big men are good competition for him.

Green, Sengun and Jabari making us proud so far this summer. There's an ABSURD level of cynicism towards our young players from our own fans. I don't know how you can watch Team USA, Summer League and this one game and come away with "pffft, must be bullsh*t" rather than "looks promising, let's see how it translates". Crazy.

 

Agreed. Certain people got super excited by two summer league games from Bari, 3/4 of a summer league game by Amen, a workout video from Jalen, but a dominant performance by Alpi? [crickets]

 

I don't actually know, maybe. My point is this that this isn't a bunch of idiots listening to "@SengunMostGoated28" making crap up on twitter, rather Sengun said himself that he was re-measured and that was the measurement. That's a lot more credible.

 

Sure it was.

 

Can’t get it to work

 

ditto

 

Sure what was? You don't believe Sengun actually said this, you think I'm making it up? Or you don't think Sengun saying it is any more credible than some random turkish kid on twitter?

 

I think that stream won't work if you're in the US, it won't work for me either. Roosh Williams is restreaming it on rocketswatch, if yall want to watch it works for me here - https://www.playback.tv/rocketswatch

 

How’s he doing so far?
