You moron. You're the one that decided to act out after one game hence why you were called out yesterday. You exposed yourself as a hypocrite. Not us.

You moron. You're the one that decided to act out after one game hence why you were called out yesterday. You exposed yourself as a hypocrite. Not us.
Y'all didn't show up after the first game, then tried to call me out yesterday despite me showing up, and now the majority of y'all are absent from the thread tonight, and yet I'm the hypocrite?
Please, please, do not throw stones in that glass house of yours. Everyone knows your history on this board. And don't throw out "moron" either when you believe the Earth is flat. You can't be an idiotic troll and then start pointing the finger at others.

No one but you decided to make the first game of the season a referendum on Jalen Green. It's the only reason anybody said anything about yesterday you idiot. And it'll be the only reason anybody says anything about the next game Jalen Green goes off in.
Most people only beat their chest about a player after they put together a nice string of games. Not one game. You're the only idiot in here you thought he had something going after game 1 of a season.
But go right ahead and keep acting stupid. You'll only be tying that noose around your neck tighter by going against a surefire star like Jalen.
You're a different type of rockbrain.
Folks were falling over themselves during preseason to post about him, but now suddenly, I'm the only reason they said anything yesterday?
I'll leave the "acting stupid" to you. 99 times out of 100 you're on the wrong end, so whatever it is you believe, I'll be banking on the opposite occurring.

People were talking about him after he put together a nice string of games in the preseason. Nobody was beating their chest over 1 game. That's the point everyone was making.
If Jalen had a bad start to the season for lets say the first 10 games then nobody would have criticized you. It was the jumping on one single game in a long NBA season that had people looking at you sideways. We assumed you were mature enough to understand that one game in a long season doesn't mean much.
After his first preseason game he shot 3-12 for 7 points - the thread was completely inactive, and there was only one post in the last month.
After his second preseason game he scored 23 points - this thread was immediately bumped, and you had a whole bunch of posts talking about him, including this from you:
And then after his third preseason game when he scored 25 points, more posts were about him.
So yes, people were beating their chests after only one good game, and didn't even bother to show up in the first game where he played bad. Why the fukk would you even lie about shyt like this when it's easy to disprove? Of course, @CantStop is gonna dap lies too. And besides is three preseason games something to get hype over? Why can't you handle the same energy when he's played bad for two out of three games during the actual regular season?
Over 30 posts were made in this thread after his ONE good preseason game, and yet @Swagnificent is out here trying to say otherwise.

We just enjoy watching a player breh, ain't all that serious. Folks just fans, that's all.
Even Bucks subreddit today was giving Green plenty props tonight during the game (Budenholzer as well).
What I find funny is how this thread practically turned into the Rockets thread. I'm trying to post in that thread but this thread more active.

My post was in response to 2 guys claiming Mobley, Cunningham, and Barnes were better than him. I could care less about regular season stats let alone preseason. I think you're projecting your insecurity here. I'm high on Green not because of numbers but because of the style he plays with.Cats upped this thread because they've been saying he's gonna be a star. Not because they laid in wait for him to finally play well then pump him up. You're the one whose in here waiting for him to have a bad game. The rest of us are just enjoying the early days of a future legend.
Like I said earlier. All you're doing is tightening that noose around your neck. Don't be backtracking in a few years when this kid is the face of the league on some 87 Jordan tip.

Once that midrange touch comes back we’ll be cooking with gas.
Your post was in response to this thread being upped cause folks were beating their chest after ONE game, which you tried to argue didn't happen, then you got mad when someone did the same in response to ONE game where he played bad. How the fukk are you gonna post in a thread which was upped after one preseason game, and then state weeks later nobody was doing that?
You don't know hoops. You look at photos through your Kobe lens and project player outcomes.
Whatever scale you use isn't grounded in reality.
They upped this thread after ONE good preseason game - they literally waited until he had a good preseason game to bump this thread. They didn't up it on the previous game when he played bad. I'm only following the rules established by those who've posted in this thread.
That's cool and all that, but we're still waiting on:
James Wiseman
Thon Maker
DeAndre Ayton
Chandler Hutchison
Julius Randle
D'Angelo Russell
Marvin Bagley
RJ Barrett
Lonzo Ball
Joshua Dobbs
etc
To all become superstars.
Nobody is saying y'all can't enjoy him. Good hoops should be enjoyed.
But y'all can't get mad when there's all these posts calling him the next MJ/Kobe, and then not expect some type of response and/or backlash to that. Especially when they're trying to make it out like it's already been settled. This is what happens when folks try to be the first on something, they end up overshooting and then coppin' pleas whenever there's any resistance to what they've said.

I mean to be fair it's a potential thing. We can't be acting brand new when people blow up player x, y or z.
People out here saying Wembanyama is a better prospect than LeBron (I'm one of them) but in fact the guy will have plenty of obstacles to overcome and accolades to earn to get there first.
It ain't like there are real world consequences to buffing up a player.
Is it any different than when people have said Cade, Ben Simmons, Zion and Brandon Ingram were Luka/Tatum, LeBron, Charles Barkley and KD?

shyt, those people actually get paid to make those comparisons smh. If you want to have smoke for anyone, have smoke for them.
Funny thing is the guys who they don't compare to Hall of Famers end up going off, so maybe dude in good company:

Speaking about Wembanyama as a prospect is different to saying x-player is the next MJ. Folks aren't saying that Wembanyama is going to be the best player ever; they're purely talking about him as he stands as a prospect vs. Bron when he was a prospect back in 2003. It's not saying he's gonna have a better career or be a better player than Bron.
It's Wembanyama in 2022 vs. Bron in 2003.
And acting brand new would be hyping up a player to an almost unreachable level and then getting mad when there's opposition to that. If y'all are gonna set these lofty expectations for him, than you better be prepared for those who contest that.
