Wouldn't it be way more productive for a guy trying to "get healthy" and work on his game like Booker to spend some time learning from a real coach like Pop, learn actual offensive and defensive sets, and play against real defenders in international competition?
What vital life skills are you learning doing gamebreakers on the local JuCo legends?

🤔
dropping out of international competition to "prepare for the upcoming season" never made any sense to me. I mean i get wanting to take time off, but that phrasing is still dumb.
Don't his handles suck? Wouldn't you want to get better so a double team is nothing? I honestly don't get it lol.
These dudes growing up watching Jordan highlights but none of the shit before he became a powerhouse by being fucked up by really good (or even abusive) defenses.

if you are going to play ball in the offseason, might as well do it while learning from one of the best coaches ever.
DY don't look.

Big picture: The Hornets have no interest in suffering for the sake of long-term gain, only suffering for the sake of fabricating a pretend world. The result is what’s led us to the present, where one of the darkest outlooks in recent NBA history has made an appearance. Charlotte is bad in the worst type of way, with no obvious guiding light to get them through this upcoming season. Their goals are muddy. Should they try to win, lose on purpose, swap young talent out for experienced veterans, or slash payroll and barrel roll to the bottom?
It’s reasonable to debate which option is best, but their current position makes it difficult to complete any one of them. It’s such an awful, untethered-lifeboat spot to be in, and barring a few lucky ping pong balls in the next couple NBA lotteries, Charlotte’s path to relevance will be less pleasant than a stroll through Chernobyl. When has an NBA team had less to play for?
This might be the least talented team in the league and owner of the worst assets. Every other franchise else can sell their fanbase on a rebuild, be it around a blue-chip prospect, upcoming free agency cycle, or the lottery. The Hornets can’t lean on any of those options and it’s unclear how they’ll turn any one of them in their favor.
Rank every asset in the league. How many of Charlotte’s crack the top 100? Including its own pick in the 2020 draft. Malik Monk is 75 percent of a useful NBA player; in his own words, Miles Bridges “played like ass” as a rookie and is currently nothing more than an assumption; and PJ Washington feels like a low-ceiling draft pick that should be avoided by teams that can’t even tread water. Everyone else is either faulty or overpaid.

By domino Go To Postthe Nets at least try though. the Hornets dont.
By diehard Go To Postand DMC just destroyed his ACL playing pickup ball with no payDMC coming off 2 career threatening injuries ≠ blowing your leg up on a cameraman to learn from a coach you'll never play for 🤷🏾♂️

Imagine learning from Pop and then go to play for Billy lol
By blackace Go To PostDMC coming off 2 career threatening injuries ≠ blowing your leg up on a cameraman to learn from a coach you'll never play for 🤷🏾♂️Kobe broke a wrist in a pickup game, Bird basically finished off his career in a charity game...
Imagine learning from Pop and then go to play for Billy lol
I'm not even blaming anyone for not wanting to play because of possible injury reasons, it's just the nearly meme status of everyone who declines saying they want "to prepare for the upcoming season" .. like what's better than preparing for the season than playing for team USA?
By DY_nasty Go To Postwell if it was an actual team USA team sureso we have PJ Tucker starting at PF... Hello? Hello?
By blackace Go To PostResting?Except there is a pretty good history of players coming off of playing for Team USA elevating their NBA game the following season.
By blackace Go To Postso we have PJ Tucker starting at PF… Hello? Hello?PJ Tucker is gone. Let's trash the players who are too bitchmade to play, not the ones who aren't.
"I can't play for them, we might lose!" FOH
By blackace Go To PostLike Boozer and BarnesLike Okafor and Michael Redd
By DY_nasty Go To PostLike Okafor and Michael ReddLike Kyle Lowry and Shareef Abdur-Rahim

Booker is silly. If the right play is passing out, then do it and they'll try to stop the right play instead. It's basic triple threat logic, Jordan and Kobe knew it well. His macho act is just him compensating for his soft argument.
