Much respect....I been gassing this nikka Ant all year IRL, 4th year player so he young, top 3 in game dunker, probably got more bodies than everybody since he came in; refuses to compete tho, I dont get these dudes man I really don't. Maybe the money too sweet now

I'm not buying that. We've seen everything already tbh, it's just about how you vary it, your vert, hitting on 1st attempt, crowd interaction all that.
"Dunk contest aint deadd, these nikkas just scaredddd" word to Jeezy

EDIT: and not too mention, the head2head of marquee names gives any competion more juice just off the strength

She regularly takes NBA-length threes in her own games. She can't regularly shoot an NBA ball. It's asking her to suddenly adjust to something completely different than what she actually does when she plays the game, and that puts her at a massive disadvantage due to her frame.


Why not just appreciate what she's doing for her? Every time someone argues that Sugar Ray Robinson was the GOAT boxer of all time, should we bytch that his opponents weren't as big as Muhammed Ali's opponents? Is it wrong to call Floyd the GOAT when he only fought guys below a certain weight, and even a lower-level pro in the heavyweight division could have laid out his ass?

Her shooting competitively from the NBA line was cool enough and impressed a lot of people. Shooting with an NBA ball would be an entirely different sort of difficulty that she couldn't realistically prepare for, just like a boxer fighting way outside his weight class, so why demand it?

Bc people are confused. Are we patronizing and giving accommodations for women’s physiological disadvantage? Or are we doing the feminist lgbtq thing living in la la land pretending we’re complete equals. I’m good with either. But I’d rather not be struck in the middle.

The fact that there is a women’s line, and the fact they shoot with a girl’s ball, is indisputable fact that we are accommodating. So how dare you get mad at Kenny for …..trying to accommodate?

-Don’t insult her saying she needs a closer line
-Oh, ok so we’re equals?
-Well no hold on grab me that dodgeball over there her hands are smaller
