Man i wonder how many times a day Doc reflects back on the 76 finals and how he didn't get the last shot in game 6 with everything on the line.

Mitchell should have the #1 draft pick
which makes me wonder how half assed are these nba scouts, there is no fukking way no one seen this coming how mitchell could be having one of the best rookie season we have seen. The worst is detroit having to choose between him and some cac I forgot his name :mjlol:shyt reminds me of danny ainge calling giannis next scottie pippen but then picking kelly in the draft :dead:

imagine if celtics took giannis over kelly bumlynyk :lupe:

al, giannis, tatum, brown, irving lineup :damn:

i disagree with the good doctor. Tatum plays on a team that has a coach whose system compliments Tatum's talents and allows Tatum to blossom. Imagine had Tatum ended up being drafted on the Knicks???

had Lebron, Melo, Wade Or Bosh been drafted by Detroit and played under Larry Brown, a coach who doesn't utilize rookies and actually buries them in his line up, would any of those guys would have the prolific career they had???

Better yet imagine josh Jackson in place of Tatum.

does he work for the 76ers? :dahell:
Damn, I really don't know, actually.

Forgive me, I definitely assumed he did.

That being said, whether he does or not, I do think he was a bit tacky to make such a statement during the playoffs without nuance.

What do you think, breh?

I'm willing to be changed on my opinion regarding this.

He was hired a few years ago as a strategic advisor but I’m not sure that’s still his role but he’s definitely around this team.

Wack move by Dr. J...why put a kid down like that? He's obviously going thru some mental and confidence issues and you give a quote like that? When Lonzo was struggling I didn't hear Kobe, West, Baylor and other Laker legends dissing him. I don't care if it's true, it's in very bad taste and uncalled for
