the bench players always look like they're having the most fun because they're under absolutely no pressure.



star players last few seconds of the game:

Now who else wanna fukk with Hollywood Court?
It must be the GOAT, especially when you're not freakishly tall, like being Reggie Jackson outside of Detroit must be phenomenal. You get all the money and none of the fame that goes with it, dude can go anywhere without hordes of people bothering him at a restaurant but still got the cash to fly IG hoes wherever, nobody knows who you are but you still hopping out the Aventador.

Spotlight on Barnes next year. We've been tanking. He's been improving. He'll be judged a lot more when we make the playoffs and he's the no. 1/2
He’s already been judged

He is what he is

1st Round Playoff Exits
One thing doe, Bill Self always FORCES tall SF's to play big man PF, but when u look at Josh Jackson compared to Wiggins, Josh still thrived and currently thrives on the perimeter, Josh plays bug as fukk down low though, something Wiggins was never even good at. Josh took that big man shyt and has used it a lot this season, Wiggins was neber even good at that shyt amongst nikkas much smaller. Josh will be 5× the player Wiggins will be, i guarantee that shyt.

Detroit You bytch Ass nikka
God damn this is some serious ether right here :wow:
Its real cause his handle was trash before he even committed to Kansas, im usually a GREAT judge of perimeter player talents and off rip i knew Wiggins couldnt dribble. Ball handling is not something u can go from below average to great at loke shooting, handles are natural, u gotta be born wit that shyt. Wiggins struggled everytime he had a live dribble in HS in Canada, i think it was crazy as fukk for anyone to think he would be a great NBA player.

Think bout Wade real quick. Wade wasnt always the ballhandler he turned out to be in the NBA or he woulda be reqruited much higher, but he was always fast and may be the GOAT at changing directions on the fly. He always had that shyt, he turned that into an elite handle when he became a pro. Used his athleticisim to help out his dribble moves, Wiggins can ONLY jump' HE COULD NEVER HANDLE THE BALL. Now u see where that goes. Compare current Wiggins to rookie Josh Jackson. Rookie Josh has done more off the dribble already than 4th year Wiggins has. Its incredible just how much your handle can contril your future in the NBA.

I agree with the last 2 guys you listed, but let's not act like Wiggins isn't under any pressure to live up to the hype of being the next generational superstar
other than the coli no one gives a fukk about wiggins anymore (and thats just cause nikkas wanna still act like Bron should've kept his ass instead of pursuing a potential HOFer)

When Butler went down, people were like "Oh can Towns carry Butler's load, who will Minnesota sign" etc, everything but "will Wiggins finally be close to a fukk"

Spot on. Probably why Wade and CP3 are two of my favorite players ever. They use their ball handling to get places, leverage their athleticism (Wade first step gawd) and do actual shyt. Wiggins uses his for another spin move into a help defender. :trash:

Also ball handling is the biggest reason why I think arguments about old school NBA vs modern dudes is laughable. You can't hand check modern NBA guards. Their ball handling would annihilate 1 on 1 defense.
