Jeff Teague says Rockets’ Amen Thompson would be TOP 10 NBA player with better jump shot | Club 520

Um JWJ says, “Bro, y’all ass be have me rolling at work be like a Allstar that Jay episode, but who’s the better team in Texas? We need that Houston show.” Best team in Texas. Houston. The Rockets. The Rockets. Rockets. Light work. Yeah. Full Strength Dallas. Do they compete with them? Yeah. But we got to wait to see when Kyrie get back. He not coming back this year. Yeah. I was going to say next year pretty much is a wash. But full strength. I like I like Dallas. Okay. Full strength. I’m still going to take the Rockets. Damn. Spurs ain’t got a chance between them two right now. Not right now. Okay, fair enough. With Kevin Durant and that that Thompson twin, boy. Yeah, the Rock is rocking right now. That Thompson twin ain’t different, bro. Shout out to my boy Van Ple. You already know the vibes. That Thompson twin. Yeah, they got that Thompson twin, bro. Josh Kogi went down there, got a little bag. Re Sheepard. Damn. Josh on the Rockets. Yep. Mhm. Jabari, good [ __ ] my boy. Mhm. Yeah, they got a whip, man. I ain’t going to lie. We got to see what happens, but they got a whip. I just got a lot of stock in that Thompson twin. Like, I just think he going to take a leap. Rightfully so. Yeah, another leap. I mean, he was good last year, but I think he going to be great next year. I ain’t mad at it. I mean, we’ve only seen nothing but greatest from him, so that’s what’s up. If he ever figure out how to shoot the ball, it’s over. Oh man, he top 10 player in the NBA. Damn. He figure out how to shoot the ball. You can’t guard him. Be like a Kawhi Leonard. Yeah, his he way more athletic than Kawhi Leonard. Yeah. And got handles. Mean skills. Like only thing he can’t do is shoot. Why everybody don’t say this about his brother? Cuz they play the same way to me. I was just about to say I think the people sleeping on how good he could be. He could be good too. They both the same, but he got like a different He look a little stronger. A different They both got a crazy gear. Like if you went to their highlights, they both look crazy, but that that mug and Yeah. It’s just a little different. Yeah. But if Sar can take a leap too, that makes Dallas even much better. They both could be allstar capable players, but that one in Houston just that’s the one in Houston just ready to be allar. Like right now, he got like another year. Like he might average Detroit one might average 15 next year. He could average 19, 18, 19. He could be Jaylen Johnson. One of them also plays 10 I mean 22 minutes and the other one plays 32. Yeah. Oh yeah. The one Detroit I mean you got Tobias Harris you had Tim Hardway Jr. So sorry. Yeah. His minutes was definitely lower. Opportunity was definitely there for a man as well. That’s why I said he could take that lead. 10 and 20 minutes. He’s hooping bro. Oh no. He nice too now. Five rebounds and you playing crazy defense too. But they situations is different. Like like you said, he played 22 minutes, he played 30. That mean they already believe. Like me, we see what we need to see. Other ones is like, ah, no, I see what you’re saying. You know what I mean? Like, yeah, they got a chance. They believe already. Yeah. And Detroit happy to finally have best they can rely upon. Getting Tobias, getting TJ. They was like, “All right, we can let them get these men to develop our young guys. We got to keep throwing them into the fire.” Yeah. But I think with Jay and Ivy returning might slow him down a little bit. I hope not. Yeah, cuz he a two guard. Two, three, and they still got the other kid that they drafted high. He shoot better than the one in Detroit though. One in Detroit can’t shoot. Not even a little bit. Yeah, I got one that jump shot for sure. Yeah. Yeah. The promise is is there for both of them gentlemen for sure. But that boy from Houston find a jump shot. You you good as cooked. I ain’t never seen nobody that athletic. N he’s crazy. He the most athletic player I think I ever seen. More than Vince Carter. Like Vince Carter could jump. I’m talking about like pure athleticism like all across the board. Quickness, fast, run, jump. Like he is ridiculous. Yeah. Like he like LeBronish. Like LeBron was way bigger. Like Gerald Green was like that too though. But he wasn’t fast and like quick. Like Gerald like go watch Can you talk about his green was probably fast he probably wasn’t as quick though. Yeah. That [ __ ] used to get up the forward bro. Yeah that’s why I’m saying he does I mean he probably was a track runner but this dude he he changed direction. Change direction. He can guard like his lateral quickness is crazy. Like a lot of sideline coverage man. He could have been a not drill green bro. Uh Dr. Green do get up there. Yeah. That [ __ ] used to run that floor bro. He do get up there. He did used to run the floor, but I’m just talking about pure athleticism. Like if you put him in a combine, all his numbers going to be across the board. True. I got you. Like Vince Carter leaping ability like every like that’s crazy to lay that up, bro. Yeah, he dumb quick. He’s Hey, contact too. Get off me. N Yeah, I see what you’re saying. just he everywhere. He like a cat. No, I see what you’re saying. Oh, no. You got to play this. Yeah, you’ll be all over that floor. Yeah, he cover. You know what this is? Oh god. Hey, I remember we did that one. Yeah. No, I peep I peep what you what you saying like one some like some of his highlights when he was in like high school and OT. This high school that high school [ __ ] look crazy, bro. That’s a fact. The promise is there, man. We shall see this year. Z Sports Page 24 says, “I went back to my high school gym for some open runs. I have the team reclassified back a year. I personally think that it is dumb. Do you think it makes sense for young hoopers to reclassify?” I mean, yeah. And this in this like climate, um, it’s pointless to go to school and be 17 now unless you just a superstar. Unless you like a guy that’s going to be unbelievable. Like if you Cooper flag, like a lot of body like a lot of guys body don’t mature. Like you could be 16 as a senior going into college at 17, you might not be mature enough. You behind the eightball cuz you playing against 28 year olds. Facts. True. And that’ll be a confidence killer. For real. Facts. But if you if you like that like shout out to our guy Dylan Harper and those guys, younger guys, freshman who were already ready. Yeah. Like they could have went out of high school. Yeah. big. Yeah, he is. Him and Cooper Flag could have went out of high school. Ace Bailey could have went out of high school. They was already ready for that. I agree. But if I’m like a young guy and I’m 138 pounds. No. Yeah. Take that developmental process. Yeah, I go ahead. Like I ain’t hit a growth spurt in eighth grade. I’m still 54, but I’m only 13. Oh yeah, [ __ ] You probably need to go play chess. I mean, you sound like a horse doing trying to make it. I mean, that’s how uh CJ McCullum was. Yeah, Gordon HR was small as hell, bro. AD was small. Jesus. Boys be small, bro. But some people don’t, bro, so you might be just getting held back for no reason. Yeah, don’t hold me back at 57. I’m shitty. I’m running away. But what about Hey, what about you? You 12 years old. You about to turn 13 going to the eighth grade. You 12 going to the eighth grade. They hold you back. You 5’7. Maybe you only grow to 510 going into your freshman year. Show me my family tree, bro. Facts. I’m nothing. I got no uncle up there. Facts, bro. We all 5’9. Come on. I’m nothing, bro. If I’mma beat the odds, I’m going beat the odds. Was different, bro. I swear to God, if you would have redid a grade at my school, bro, got roasted, bro. do with basketball. Do it with basketball, bro. Flat out. So, please know your kids like ability. But that’s that’s a thing now though. Everybody reclassify now. It’s like normal for the play. A lot of kids do that now. Yeah. We are doomed. I was trying. Yeah. I would never reclass. I couldn’t understand at first, but everybody do it now. But I think about it though, like we would have reclassed you, even though it worked out, like you would have been crazy. Yeah. But I ain’t I did the same thing in my grade, so it wouldn’t have made a difference.
