“Jrue Holiday never been better than me!” - Brandon Jennings

[lib123]

I'll add,

NBA players tend to value offensive scoring ability which is why someone like Kyrie is called the "most skilled ever" disregarding the fact that Bball IQ is also apart of skill. Like as much as I love Kyrie, like how can Kyrie be more skilled than Jokic for instance.

Someone like Jrue Holiday who is a swiss army knife of skills might not be seen as skilled by just pure hoopers who just care about buckets, hezis, crossovers etc.

I also think a big factor is NBA players know who works hard and who doesn't behind the scenes as far as offseason training and practicing and they're very impressed by players who don't put in much effort but are able to succeed off talent. It's similar to going to school with someone who barely studies and is the class clown but still pulls off A's and B's. Draymond and PG have said on their podcasts that there are guys in the league who would be perennial all stars if they put the extra effort in.

Was that the expectation for the internet? Social media is meant for people to speak what’s on the minds and hearts

And on the outside looking in people say he tripping but that’s his opinion, I’m not going to arguing with somebody who was actually in the nba for several years and played extensively against dude who others say supposed to be better than him, it’s not crazy for Brandon to think he better than holiday

I'm not in the habit of entertaining delusion.

Except the very nature of making it into the league is largely based upon a sense of confidence that isn’t exactly based on what is reality, and can ultimately be the difference of making it into the NBA and not.

Unless you win the genetic lottery, you have to be delusional about yourself to make it. It’s what separates the likes of me and you, and someone like Brandon.

This is why it pains me to see cats use NBA player opinions as gospel or that they’re some scale of objectivity, when they’re the furtherest thing from it.

Gilbert Arenas show is nothing but bunch of stupid hot takes with Gilbert maybe once in a while saying something normal because he was a great basketball player before injuries.

The rest of them dudes sound like Al Bundy talmbout 4 touchdowns at Polk High.

Teague was talking about the Jennings/Holiday shyt and said yall both made it to the league, why you bringing up high school.

 

[Still Benefited]

When Jennings was on he was on. But he would have nights where he might go 1 for 10. But at least he wasnt protecting his shooting percentage like some people.

So you're saying that one random 55 point game that Brandon Jennings had was more impactful to the culture than winning two NBA championships and two gold medals.

You know trolling is good when there is some logic behind. Not this randomness

It's interesting in that the expectation was that the internet would provide people with more acces to information and facts but instead it has jsut given people a platform to share garbage ass takes. There has been much too large of an allowance in recent history of people getting off the hoom for saying stupid shyt as it's "their opinion" or "they're speaking their truth." It's sickening.

My dude, this is one of the realest things ever said on this site.

 

[KFBF]

Brandon Jennings is the more exciting player
