Most of the better players in this league are very good to great athletes. He's a freak athlete. If you're drafting mid to low first round, doesn't hurt.
I hate Lavine! I know he's a great athlete but he doesn't strike me as someone who really cares about anything. As someone has played basketball my whole life and who dreamed of being drafted, I wanted to punch him in the face after seeing his reaction to being drafted. Seriously dude!? You get to play the greatest game in the world for your job and your reaction is "**** me"!? How about being at least a little grateful for the opurtunity to play in the NBA! Freaking **** head! I can't wait till this prick plays his way out of the league!
Calm down. First of all, he wasn't saying "**** me" in response to getting drafted by the TWolves. It appeared he said "**** man" , and he said that was because he was in disbelief about getting drafted - hence putting his head down when he heard his name. Don't believe what all of the idiots on twitter are saying. He was just in disbelief that he actually made it.
I haven't seen much on twitter. I'm just going off of what I saw. Plus, even if he hadn't said "f me" his body language told the whole story. I understand he probably has kind of a nonchalant personality, I'm the same way, but dude didn't even smile! I just think it's offinsive to guys like Isaiah Austin, and guys that didn't get drafted and will have a much harder road the NBA. Even without his crappy attitude, I'm not a fan of his game. I just see an athlete. Doesn't really have anything else working for him IMO.
