Nikkas here really comparing these mofos to the fukken Kardashians (like they are aspirational figures that are paradigm of high society).

Black folk need to have better roles models. Damn. Mother. fukking. Shame.

Thing is, an upper mid-major like SDSU probably wouldn’t even want him if they have a chance at a Tourney bid. Unless Lamelo was promised too. Just not worth the baggage (aka his father).

A school like Irvine is more likely.

You're absolutely right.

I was looking at Irvine's roster, and they got 4 talented swingmen Liangelo's size who would get minutes ahead him this year and next (people would be surprised at how often UC Irvine nails 3* recruits). Three of them are sophomores this year...which means that Liangelo MIGHT be able to get minutes his junior year IF he shows a great deal of improvement and passes them up. Or maybe not.

And that's fukking UC Irvine. :francis:

A lot of mid-majors recruit players with his general talent level (although there are a lot more talented 2 and 3 star recruits than him), but with good intangibles and willingness to play by the coach’s system. At the lower level, competing for conference championships against other teams with similar resources means often that you’re getting the same kinds of low major player as your opponents. What separates Irvine from, say, Riverside in the conference tourney is usually execution of playcalls, defense, and the ability to find diamonds in the rough in the offseason.

LiAngelo really hasn’t shown he can play within a legitimate system, play defense, or that he is underrated (if anything he’s overrated due to his brothers). Just not a good look.

Minus his father he’d be a great 4 year 3 point specialist off the bench for a small conference team, or even a part-time starter if he’s dedicate himself to playing defense.

The only way a low-major would take him right now is if their team sucked, had no chance at a tourney bid, and needed publicity badly.

the comparison flew over your head. I was simply saying kids from privileged backgrounds dont value free education like non-privileged people. same goes with athletes. liangelo happens to fall in both categories.

nikkas act like the balls from Compton or watts.

They lived in chino hills those are 600,000 dollar homes Lavar always had money.

Lamello and liangelo wasn't going to ucla for no education. they life is set with the family business and money and I'm sure they will make they own money playing basketball as well.

Folks act like they poor foh they financially good.

They live-in a 5 million dollar house

LaMelo really hasn’t shown he can play within a legitimate system, play defense, or that he is underrated (if anything he’s overrated due to his brothers). Just not a good look.

Everything you say is on point. :whew:



ok coach dankster:mjlol:

:why:

Right now UC Irvine starts 6'5" junior Brandon Smith at the three, but gives more minutes to 6'5" sophomore (3*) John Edgar Jr.

On the bench they also got 6'4" redshirt sophomore (3*) Darrion Traylor who only getting 7 minutes/game but shooting 47% from three, as well as 6'4" redshirt freshman (3*) Justin Wertner, who getting 13 minutes/game and shooting 46% from three.

So who is LiAngelo going to knock out of the rotation, the established junior starting or one of the three young 3* recruits who been in the system and are already getting playing time and hitting their threes, which is literally the only thing LiAngelo adds to a team?

I don't flaunt it, but I AM a coach. How many people on this board can say they paid to coach? :sas1::sas2:

What was Liangelo going to UCLA for then? He wasn't ever going to play ball. :skip:

Do we think the ONLY reason people go to school is because their family poor?

You don't go to school to learn things, to get experience, to make connections?

You think other rich families out there pulling their kids from university two months into their freshman year and saying, "No worry young Shackleford, we never wanted you to have a college experience anyway, you have a family business to run." :upsetfavre:

If LaVar lets Melo play in Europe and he falls the fukk back so he can develop, Melo will be a problem. European teams teach fundamentals and the current NBA offensive systems that we're seeing now = what Europe has been doing for years.

Mike D'antoni was one of the 1st to bring it over but tweaked it his way. And then Pops did a few years ago when the Spurs offense all of a sudden started scoring more. Now it's everywhere. Melo will be ahead of the game if LaVar just get him in either Spain, France, Italy, or the Russian league. Hopefully he's not an idiot and chase dollars of the Chinese league and think about the long term benefit for Melo.

I figured with how much knowledge you have of the game and how much time you put into posts you probably were involved in a professional capacity somehow.

@Gil Scott-Heroin on the other hand is just autistic :lolbron:
