The Rockets and Warriors were the top 2 teams in the west a year ago and now they might not even make the playoffs next season. The Rockets stars are demanding trades and the Warriors keep dealing with injuries. The league changes fast. Now they're focusing more on the draft. If your team is a contender, don't take it for granted.

The mulatto presence is interesting. My wife and I were joking about it while watching the draft before I even saw the discussion on here about it.

:heh:

They getting the best of both worlds when it comes to basketball. The genetics and basketball pedigree from their black side and the access to the resources, elite trainers, schools/education and network etc from their white side.

No stopping that combination

:wow:

The three roy finalists were all fully black.
:jbhmm:
Probables
Luka(white)
AD (black)
Zion (black)
Jokic(white)
Giannis(black)

Possibles
KAT(biracial)
Embiid(black)
Booker(biracial)
Tatum(black?)
Bam(black)
Donovan Mitchell (black)
Ja Morant (black)
Ben Simmons (biracial)

Who am i missing? Still seems like a mostly black contingent.

Who am i missing with star potential.


Edit: i think you're right in the long term but i think your time frame is wrong.. more like 15-20 imo.

Straight from Flatbush
Highlights only, Killian Hayes looked good.
Obi definitely reminds me of Amare but that’s because of the build/dunks. I’m pretty sure Amare is taller.

Not really impressed by Edwards but that’s solely off of some top 10 clip from YouTube.

I have to check out IQ but he seems like a good player.

Haven’t followed anyone really so I have no real opinion.
Minn wasn’t impressed off Edwards either as they were taking calls up until the last seconds on the draft clock... no one wasn’t willing to give up assets for Edwards

I wanted the Blazers to get him if they kept their draft pick.

He'll be solid for years.

Bam shyts all over draymond when you compare them at similar stages of their careers. In bam's first season as a starter (age 22) he averaged 16 pts with 10 rebs and 5 assists 1 blk 1 stl. Draymond (age 24) averaged 12, 8 4, 2 1.

The future is bright.. wait and see :ahh:

Bruce Pearl really came thru for Auburn. I remember going to those games for free and having less than 20% capacity in the arena. Gus just gotta get the fukk out the way now.
too lazy to post videos, but big time games are odee now. 2017, up until December I could come to a game like 30 mins after game starts and get a great seat. After we got ranked in the latter half of the month, that type shyt has been shut down ever since. LSU and Kentucky games from last year was bout as lit as almost any football game you could think of (proportionately speaking)

Nah no need to prove it I believe you lol I didn’t realize how crazy it got until I came back home for a weekend and told my dad we should go to a game.

He hit me with the :usure: You already got tickets?
I ended up driving around downtown and saw how fukking packed it was. That weird feeling downtown like you about to go roll the trees after an iron bowl win :wow:
