    You know how I know you’re a bi+ch? Because of you tried to set traps with snarky retorts every time you respond to my posts. Go back and look. And I come back with consistent knowledge, facts, and logic. Now you retorted by interjecting Green into my conversation because you felt it unfair and biased and “hypocritical” to prove a point that didn’t need to be proved. It doesn’t belong. Take that somewhere else.

    Well when you have people like @RudyTBag who have made it his personal crusade to seek out Jalen bias in discussions where it exists only in his mind and which did not need to be brought up then yeah it fuc$s up the thread.

    That's your opinion and you are certainly entitled to it as he is. But this doesn't preclude what transpired and I simply explained what transpired in previous discussions with @RudyTBag and I invite you to search all the logs before opening your mouth. If you know nothing of this history then your opinion has no merit.

    Anyone that has to say that they are the King, is no true King.

    I simply stated what happened in those conversations with you and I too invite you to check those logs. You know exactly what you did and why you did it as we both know.

    Yo you still have yet to explain your belief in Jalen bias in my Sengun comments that made you feel a type of way and your same energy hypocrisy theory. And you better not base this on your feelings because that’s not worth shi+

    how about we all just shut up and stop being rockets fans? :eek:

    honestly though, it becomes increasingly difficult to ignore some of the nonsense that is thrown around. i get it if some fans still want to believe in jalen green because he is a rocket after all, but to defend him as if you're life depended on it, pit him against other rockets (especially sengun for some reason) and to prop him up as one of the better players on the team... any basketball fan will agree that jalen has been largely a disappointment and the stats don't lie... he ranks in the bottom third in the nba for nearly all non-counting stats.. advanced or not.

    every thread eventually devolves into a jalen green thread bc just the mere mention of jalen green in any random thread brings his stans over to the thread like clockwork.

    would be easier if some people could just admit that jalen has been a disappointment thus far in his career. i think we can all agree we want him to be better and gain some maturity for once.

    Then you also need to hold those accountable including your friend @RudyTBag who intervened during a conversation that had nothing to do with Green and made it about him and going further to compare him to Sengun. Go ahead and review those exchanges between me and him and other exchanges from anti-Green fans as well if you do not like how threads "devolve" into Green threads. Call them out. And you don't speak for all NBA fans so you don't get to make a general statement on how they feel because you simply don't have that knowledge. This may be your opinion and you are entitled to it but doesn't necessarily reflect the entire fanbase.

    And to your point with statistics, it depends on what you are looking at as several members on this site have pointed out numbers that support him. And there are those that pointed to numbers against him. Again a holistic approach needs to be taken in terms of player assessment using observation, knowledge of the game, and all not some selective arbritary metrics.

    Actually would be easier for you to do some introspection about why Green has so many fans even though he's shot poorly. I don't like inefficient chuckers at all and I'm a huge Green fan. You have to explain these things to yourself. No one is going to take you seriously if your explanation is "they are just in denial" lol.

    Green fans don't like his scoring efficiency thus far. Fully aware the jumper efficiency is disappointing. You seem to want everyone to join your poorly thought out "he's a disappointment at everything and there's no reason to be optimistic" take. Obviously no one is interested in that. We're perfectly capable of narrowing down what he's done well and what he's not done well without the drama. Yes we will correct you if you make statements that are exaggerating or diluting something, fans of all players in the world will do that.

    Don't be mad that others care about details and context. If the details and context don't matter to you or frustrate you, don't read it buddy. Stick with your sensationalized generalistic opinion, find out what happens next season.

    The point of contention is not whether or not he's shot poorly in his career. The point of contention is whether a guy who shot poorly for the better part of 3 seasons can have a big 4th season. You don't believe it's possible. We do. Let's see what happens.

    So you're telling us Green can't have a big next season right? Since it's been THREE YEARS of disappointing shooting, there's no way he'll be a great NBA player right? Let's hear it definitively without hedging your bet.
