Why do people always say this?

EVERYONE signs the extension after the rookie contract. Not many players want to gamble on their health for 1 year and lose out on a big payday if the worst outcome happens.
And they would have matched the offer :manny:

Getting sick of this timberwolves team. Wiggins is really struggling, but God damn, when no team fears our guards shooting and they continue to run doubles at him, he doesn't have the awareness to do the right thing at the moment

You lost to a Parker-less Spurs squad in an elimination game, and it wasn't just on D. :what:

You had KD out there getting it in the high post and iso'ing for mixed results, and Russ out there doing god knows what with no one else contributing to speak of. :dahell:

The team badly needs someone who can introduce a semblance of an organized offense
:dahell: spurs had a 114 almost 115 offfensive rating that series please tell me you're trolling :dead:.

I'm at the point where I'm concerned with the development of the core as long as Mitchell is coaching them. Wiggins looks really bad and Zach is slumping too.

Wasn't just on D. :beli:

Also generally speaking when a team is scoring like that it's a product of the shots you're getting, which OKC struggled to get quality shots all series. :camby:

1st. I will admit that I don't know shyt about this kid... your post made it seem like walk in any gym and you goin see the Varsity pg doing this. :ld:
Regardless of what he learned ... any professional takes it (the lesson) and improves and takes it to another level..

durant, sabo, and harden weren't really hard to hit on since they were top 5 picks and the next best available in the draft, but i give props on reggie, jeff, serge, and adams
No one thought RUss was a top 4 pick, Preesti had a hard on for Brook Lopez but picked Russ because he thought he was too talented to pass up.

Harden had just come off disappointing NCAA tourney, and people had doubts about his athleticism in the NBA. People thought Rubio and Tyreke were better or on par with as prospects.

Durant is the only guy you can say was an easy pick.

:russ::russ::russ: nooooooooo nikka lol! of course not lol! I'm talking bout the best of the best pg in HS right now.....these kids are one and done and avg 25ppg in HS :mjlol:

We had a huge discussion about this on the coli about have far along the avg person is from these guys in the NBA and how basketball is the easiest sport out of all of them to pick up

Here's a good post that explained it all

Well yes and no....

Yes bball out of all the sports is the easiest to pickup


formula one racing :troll:

When you play regular pickup...a 6'3-6'4 guy is the center and is playing in the post.

In the NBA that guy is the point guard with the best handles.

The best PG in the entire world is a 6'3(listed :childplease:) who can barely dunk, has avg athleticism, and just won his first ring.

All he did was work hard to achieve everything he has. There is no secret

Like look Kyle Lowry is an all star point guard in 2015 *cough* justin bieber tweet *cough* and lil Kevin Hart blocked this nikka when they played one on one




Like at the end of the day its still Basketball. The Rim is 10ft height and the ball is 29.5 inches wide.

People in the thread gassing up getting shytting on by D1 players. Well no shyt. They have been playing since they were 5...been playing AAU. Spending summer after summer going to camps and getting up thousands of shots. While you only play what once a month or once a week.

Think of it like playing the piano.

You play the piano once a week or a couple times a month. Yeah you can master like one or two songs and be like "yeahhhh I can play the piano"
Then someone that has been playing the piano since they were 5 and plays it every day for countless hours comes in and plays Adagio Sostenuto Ludwig Van Beethoven No. 14 in C Sharp Minor with their eyes close.

Of course they gonna shyt on you :dahell:

I would hope someone that has been playing basketball 320 out of the 365 days every year for the past 15 years is better than I am



That handle video of curry is nothing special at all.....People that go :krs: over that have never played the game at a high level

ESPN lost there shyt over this



But ignored born ready doing it the next day



Mind you Lance Stephenson is on the bench getting 15mins a game and has shot 30% from 3 for his career

You gotta understand...these dudes are the best of the best. Ignore ESPN bullshyt dikkriding of curry. Real hoopers and nikkas that know the game see right through their agenda
