By You got 14 bricks right there? Go To PostI'm saying though, seeing him here he's really getting exposed. I'm surprised diehard doesn't have more smoke for him cause he not playing Walker who'd actually help.I try to hold off on hyping up young players. Seen too many rookies look promising then just never get much better.
Kessler's worst match up last year was when he pretty much got bullied by Brook Lopez. I didn't watch the game today but it wouldn't shock me if Jonas did/would have done similair.
Not a single minute of Kessler and JJJ together seems really odd to me, though.
By blackace Go To PostI don't remember but did Myles Turner and Allen turn team USA down?Turner was on the 2019 team
According to USAB.com:
"Named a finalist for the 2021 USA National Team and U.S. Olympic Men's Basketball Team on on March 11, 2021."

I was only able to catch the fourth quarter, so I dunno.

Maybe Jonas would have killed him, he can't be worse at rebounding than Jaren though. The last two games Team USA been outrebounded by 30+ and Jaren has 1 total rebound in the 2 games.

I watched the game, he only played 6 minutes and it's hard to do anything with that short a time. The biggest problem is Kerr wont play a big frontcourt together so when Walker came in the game he was there with Cam Johnson who been straight up ass at the 4 so far. He picked up 2 fouls but one of them was cause of Cam not being able to guard anything involving a screen.

A friend shared it with me, found it fishy a couple hours ago when I saw nothing on ESPN.
If you trying to work on your game, get a 3lbs weighted ball. I did a workout earlier just dribbling and in 30 minutes I burned 500 calories. When you go back to the normal ball it's like Goku stepping out the gravity chamber, you dribble the ball so much faster without even trying.
I don't shoot with it though, PG13 said he did, but I don't see how it helps outside of extending range and my range is pretty good already.

It absolutely destroys your muscle memory over time imo
It's cool for a workout here and there but I'd definitely consider it a limited option at best. The tennis ball stuff shows how much assumed movement is in your handle. It's a wakeup call in a lot of ways. A weighted ball is gonna make you deliberate in every bounce. That's the start of becoming food as a ball handler. You lose that fluidity and you may as well work one-dribble post moves where a power dribble, footwork, and getting past your shoulders quick is the focus.
The only reason weighted shooting works for *some* guys is because - if your form is actually consistent and refined - it'll become immediately obvious where you lack strength. Also for guys reworking mechanics its key for core strength and remaking your base. It's a highlighter more or less.

My handle is trash in general so I use it mostly for cardio and just to get my handle a little tighter. For my nephew I got it cause he still dribbles the ball soft at times, so he does pounds with it and cuffs as well. It has helped him a lot, we switch to the regular ball for everything else, like combos and freestyling. The only other way he's used it was for jab step work, mostly to get him quicker.
Rich Paul was selling jerseys in an airport, being a Bron hypeman is completely understandable. I'd be an insufferable stan if someone took me out that situation and made me a multimillionaire.

Wow that was easy
I know these days looking back, Magic and Bird are credited with keeping basketball alive but did people view it that way the time

Very much so. Pre-internet, so the environment is incredibly different, but even talking to kids at school or to your friends, it was "Jordan can't even beat the Pistons" (until he did). And then when getting that first ring, "Lakers and Pistons repeated," etc. The bar was set higher and higher until there was nowhere else to go unless you wanted to talk about Bill Russell.

By Rob Go To Post@Pac @FenderMagic and Bird were already legends by the time I started watching basketball and already talked as players we will never see again.

I remember watching the Bulls 1st championship against the Lakers and the media basically gave the Bulls little chance, saying it wasn't their time yet 😂
However, Fender, who saw Jerry West play, might have more insight
By blackace Go To PostMagic and Bird were already legends by the time I started watching basketball and already talked as players we will never see again.Tbf we still haven’t seen anyone like them. If Magic didn’t get HIV and Bird didn’t have his career shortened with injuries they probably would have had more success

But yeah Magic and Bird were them dudes. They had them Converse Weapons and everything
Couldn't play in today's game.
Also, Bird and Jordan would play an endless game of horse with increasingly impossible shots over some McDonald's.
