Nice game off the bench for Cam Payne.
16, 3 and 3 in 16 minutes. Very promising start for him. Love his confidence.
His D is bad though.

By HasphatsAnts Go To PostBazed God is like a more athletic Demarre Carroll.Playin better than him definitely
By reilo Go To PostSmall sample size and head-to-heads but he was damn good against Robinson in the Olympics. He was just so skilled in every manner. Too bad his ankles were fused and he couldn't even move his foot by the time he got to the NBA.
That's 3-4 years older than KAT is today. That's older than Drummond is.
By Sharp Go To PostMarc came over at 24… but yeah, for some reason I thought he was older. I guess he has plenty of time to decline then :P
I don't really buy it... Marc came over at 24 Pau at 21.. It's true a lot players are coming in at 19 but I think "developing" in the NBA is a bad thing for big men... You need a few years to see if a big will be a stud or a dud and I think playing at a lower level working on basics would have helped a lot of players, and even scouts... Guys like Kwame Brown, I really think, could have been so much better if they came to the NBA at 20 or 21...
By Sharp Go To PostFWIW: best years by center-forwards since 1984 (Hakeem's rookie year) by BPM (it excludes KG sadly, so I manually spliced in his best years).Again it has to do with not being able to scout big men as easily as wings if you don't include players from the era before, for example remember Timmy from the 10s and the 10s and the 00s become even worse..
'84-'89 was Hakeem (5), Ewing (1), Robinson (1). '90s was Robinson (9), Hakeem (5), Shaq (5), Webber (6), Vlade (3), Duncan (3), Garnett (3), Mourning (1), Grant (2), Kemp (2), Daugherty (2), Sabonis (1), Miller (1), Manning (1). '00s was Duncan (8), Garnett (8), Shaq (5), Wallace (5), Pau (3), Webber (2), Camby (2), Nene (1), Dwight (1), Robinson (1). '10s so far is Noah (4), Marc (2), Duncan (2), Cousins (1), Pau (1), Davis (1), Dwight (1), Gobert (1).
Net results are 7 '84-'89, 44 '90s, 36 '00s, 13 '10s. 2000s was actually a lot better than I remembered, but '10s have been awful. It definitely seems like it's a product of "most of the promising center prospects got hurt" moreso than "traditional centers don't belong in today's game." Pray for KAT.
By blackace Go To PostI feel we might be entering a silver age of centers again..
DMC
KAT
Okafor
Vucevic
Monroe
Drummond
Whiteside
Gobert
Horford
Gasol
Boban is better than all of those.
Knicks forward Cleanthony Early shot in knee early Wednesday morningwtf
Second-year New York Knicks forward Cleanthony Early was shot in the leg early Wednesday morning after being robbed, according to the New York Daily News. The incident occurred after Early jumped into an Uber after leaving a strip club in Queens.dude...
A group of four to six people in ski masks boxed Early's Uber in about a mile from the CityScapes gentlemen's club in Maspeth, Queens. They stepped out and took everything on him, including his personal items and jewelry. During the robbery, he was shot in the knee. He is reportedly in stable condition at a local hospital.

Crazy.
Also, there are some things I always have a hard time understanding. You're 24, you're fit, you're in the NBA. Just how socially awkward do you have to be for spending hundreds at a stripclub to be your best option in regards to ladies? That makes no sense to me.

He's only made about 1.3 million - and that's if his entire contract this year is paid. Living in NY. If his career ends over this, fuck.
By Gabyskra Go To PostCrazy.assume everyone in a strip club is socially awkward lol. like the sex business is powered only by basement dwellers and truckers

See, that makes my blood boil. And it's not even about who wrote it.
Median household income in Manhattan is 66K/y. He made 20 times that.
So tired of people having twisted ideas about the economic reality of most people and the poors in particular.
By DY_nasty Go To Postassume everyone in a strip club is socially awkward lol. like the sex business is powered only by basement dwellers and truckersSorry for being rhetorical, but relying on "power" to relate/approach women/enjoy sex IS social awkwardness in my book.

It's one thing to rob a dude, but to kneecap his livelihood? They must have known who he was, that's just spiteful. The driver must have been in on it, how else do you box in a car all prepared a mile away from the club?

The driver got robbed too. The girl wasn't. My money's on the girl he took home with him was in on it, or they are people he knew and pissed off. That's his surgically repaired right knee, they had to have known.

its about who is going to fuck your jersey, job, money, etc.

just like the people that robbed derrick williams earlier this month
If I'm a player and I realize that two of my teammates have been targeted for robberies, and two players suffered career-threatening injuries outside of clubs in the past year, I'm rethinking my night life routine. How much does a personal security guard/driver cost anyway? One of my brother's best friends does this for celebs in the city so I know it's a thing.
He wasn't by himself? I must not have read the full version of what happened. I thought he was by himself.
By Smokey Go To PostHe wasn't by himself? I must not have read the full version of what happened. I thought he was by himself.
I read he had a girl with him in the cab? Maybe I'm wrong.
Yea, stay out the nightclubs. Find some Twitter or Instagram chicks you dig and fly them in. Or call an escort service. If you must. Plenty of women that will fly around the world and stay with dudes with money for days, weeks, or months at a time.
And live in a secured complex making sure no random dudes are allowed to pass through to your floor.
Knee-capped? shit.
Not seeing any updates on him as of yet but man, the whole thing reeks of a set up. Hopefully there isn't too much structural damage to the internal knee.
You'd think the's guys would have their guard up after what happened with Williams. Also, stunting in Queens? Why?!

IF you're going to do that, you're not out there alone at any point between the club and the door to the hotel lobby.
Security has been shit for NBA players for a while but geez...
By Smokey Go To Postfor dudes to take your fucking grill is grimey as fuck
Gold is gold ..
Terrible they shot him in the knee.

I literally have no words...
Early always seemed to be hanging out with people and really was the Instagram/social media guy for the team. Always chatting and was a good teammate in the parts of practice I've seen... I can't believe this happened.

By DY_nasty Go To PostI really, really don't fucking get it….The only thing I can think of is he thought no one would immediately recognize him/he didn't want to be recognized... I mean strip club in Queens? Maybe he went to a restaurant there and it was close but c'mon, you goto Manhattan for that if you need to.

He was setup, for sure. Someone spotted him at the club, called up a few boys, and they went to work. Shit is common. Lots of dudes get robbed if they're caught dropping stacks. This is one of the many reasons I'll never attend a strip club - so I'm with Gaby on this one.
Fuck that sucks. Why was he by himself? I would never go out to the club as a ball player unless I was with a large group of people to watch my back. He's from the NYC area too so he should have an entorage there. Hope his career isn't over...
It feels kinda wrong to criticize the guy, but I'll echo sentiments that I personally wound't be going to strip clubs and tossing around cash by myself. I wouldn't be doing this at regular dance clubs either. I'm 35 though, and so my comments come in retrospect. When I was 21 I was a moron as well.
I'm hoping it's not career ending.

Every Wednesday, the Kings twitter posts JWill highlights and that shit still amazes me.
It's so weird that a player who a lot of press hated at the time now shows up as influence in Curry highlights with tons of press praise. If JWill had a better stroke, would he had been seen in a better light at the time or was he just too stark a contrast to ever be accepted post-90s ball?
I feel like he would have been killer in a D'Antoni system.

Which half decent point guard wouldn't have killed it in D'Antoni's system is the better question. Ish fucking Smith is looking like homeless man's KJ out there

Gun shot to Cleanthony Early's right knee went straight through, no bullet lodged, sources tell Y! The Knicks forward remains in hospital.
Cleanthony Early's MRI results reveal no structural damage or surgery needed on shot knee, sources tell Yahoo. Clean up to avoid infection.Good news.
