Yeah I might have to say Beasley because he had that 1 year in where he averaged 20 I think. I thought for sure he was about to come out and ball and have multiple all-star seasons.

He still can...he is only 23 or 24

Came in to say this. Though he never panned out, I hated the Knicks for never keeping young talent. I thought Wallace would bring some desperately needed offense at the time. Ehh well.
The Knicks are terrible with draft picks.

They drafted Maciej Lampe and never let him play...he is now balling out in Russia winning MVP awards and shyt

I think it's only Beasley's fault that he is considered a bust. Him being only 6'7 really hurt him but it didn't take away from the array of skills he still has. He got traded to the Wolves and puts up almost 20 a game which proved that he could at least score at a high level even if it was on a poor team. But then his minutes get taken down the next season and he missed a lot of games and basically it was a lost season. Then last year he is with the Suns who everyone knew was gonna be a bad team. And instead of him going out and trying to lead the league in scoring he pisses away that season too. With him it's more of him not having the mental right instead of him not being able to play. Even now I think he has a big time future ahead of him as a big time scorer off the bench for a contender when he gets older. But right now he should be putting up 25 a game easily with the teams he has been on the last couple of years.

BRUH wade is a legit 6'4 and half and rose is legit 6'2


sorry if the comment about Quentin Richardson got mixed in with the comments about Luther head.

that was kinda a chi town convo in text.
so it was a lot to the unseen eye in text to pick up in and realize I was talking a out his q comments and Luther.

also that comment is added on to other Quentin convos over the now two decades of time here in this community too.

sorry if it was not clear ro follow for the public all the way.

you would have to know Quentin actual history at young to depaul.
plus, richardon's position change from a underaized pf to a guard as a pro and jump shooter from a low post guy.
to know how to keep up in that convo.

:dwillhuh: nikkas had expectations for Smush Parker?


hell yeah.

on paper all the Lakers pg in that draft era.
from, parker to sun yue looked like bonafide steals and stars via height and metrics.

I think kobe recognized the nikka was close to his height in metrics and went at him. To get him outta there like eddie JONES.
to eliminate any possible threats off pure metrics and the rest is comedic buster hoops history.

if smush parker had of played his cards right, socially and administratively as a pro.
parker, imo could have been the john starks remember me Michael jordan story. for some rival west coast playoff team that is trumped up in lore. Just because it was Kobe. Instead dude is outta there. Yet if duke knew history and how fanatical kobe was about mj. He should have used that as motivation.
to study how john starks ramped and at least got back some dignity like starks did. Whom Jordan reportedly made cry as a bull.

nikkaz say they are hiphop.
yet do not know how to dig in the crate to get a rival up outta there. The shyt hilarious cause it exposes how so many faked jax in everything. While trying to front like they were this other thing and never really ever were. Plus ruined what they were good at and good in. Trying to appease some prison industrial economy created trap.
