Now who else wanna fukk with Hollywood Court?
Whiteside had a good run, so did Jeremy Lin. Let's see if it's real.


Whiteside and Lin are entirely different cases, his "run" was built around the fact there's really not much you can do about 7'0" 270lbs and athletic with a skillset. He's going into a contract year too, so expect him to be even better.

There is no comparison.

He was a bum for years. Excuse me if I need to see more. Hibbert is in a contract year too right? He'll still be trash imo.

:wtf:

Do you even know why he wasn't in the NBA? He was a "bum" for years because he was stupid as shyt, and most importantly he came into the league at 227lbs built like a twig.

He's 270lbs now and his combination of strength, athleticism, length is physically overwhelming for a lot of centers to deal with, plus having a skillset. I mean, he was hitting jumpers ontop of dunking on dudes.

I'm starting to think you don't watch much outside of the Warriors :jbhmm:

Harrison Barnes hasn't done shyt but look like discount Richard Jefferson for his entire career and you :cape: for him at a moments notice
I thought Barnes would be a beast, I was wrong. He's still a champion and better at basketball than MKG.

When Barnes isn't hitting, he adds almost nothing to a team. MKG can literally do everything except hit a jumpshot - and he's still an equal offensive presence somehow.

I feel bad for the team that pays Barnes though. I say that as a UNC fan. If he couldn't step up in GS of all places he's gonna look like flabby Stephen Jackson anywhere else.

Luckily for us Barnes isn't off a lot. Shoots almost 50% from the field and 40% from 3. I'll take that.
