Chapters please 😢
Ok sis we see you rockin those orange headphones 🌈 lol sound like she chain smoke black n milds 🤣
1. How did Superman benefit from Lively's performance if he was only chosen 15th and probably should have been chosen higher?
2. The answer to the (really good question) of teams picking steals or developing talent is clear, in my mind, especially in Superman's case. It's not about develoement. They are finding talent and choosing better in the draft. That's all.
3. Not high on Pippen junior.
Da Silva looked nice, should be in the rotation day 1.
It was the OTHER ankle Edey rolled in LV, not the same one.
KOC just CANNOT ever accept being wrong on anything ever.
The NBA might want the Amazon part of the deal to happen, but fans don't. People would just rather watch games on TV, not have to F with glitchy streams and passwords and all that crap.
Go Heat
Westbrook just got waived by Utah on Sunday afternoon, so he's been off waivers for less than 24 hours. I think that was the main holdup on getting him signed.
KOC and Chris were so kind with their analysis. These guys in summer league were just as advertised terrible. Sarr thinks he is KD that’s why he didn’t want to go to Atlanta. Chris said that guy stinks. I am still laughing 😂😂😂😂Why are we talking about Centers 3 point shooting. There are 3 true stretch 5’s.
Another lebron/Laker hater in Chris…shocker. It’s def not all about LBJ at all but when a player completely takes over the last 2 games bc everyone else is missing shots , turning the ball over, he is gonna get praised, esp being almost 40 years old. Chris said it “feels like the Lakers”… maybe that’s bc Tatum has been poor, Steph has been off shooting, wonky line ups, AD & LBJ have been the two best players so far. Ppl are just weirdo haters.
Kawhi was a late lottery pick….
This is entirely personal but KOC's dismissive "Maybe", "I don't know", "We'll see" when he disagrees with Chris is getting on my nerves
