yeah except bontempts is the most hated bloke in the nba lol…. how u guys not know this
Lol… cavs aint ready for finals lol… mitchel is a robbin not a batman if cavs is serious in winning they need one more star and cavs is ready to go…
Not with Allen and Garland both on team, no chance.
Until they get to the finals they soft
Cavs are conference finals ceiling unless Mobley is an MVP candidate type
really enjoyed the interview with larry nance jr, he seems pretty cool
As someone who's from the UK and doesn't care about football it's still good to see someone like Larry taking an interest in a team like Leeds instead of just going City/Liverpool/Chelsea/Arsenal
American soccer but British football plz
One major reason soccer doesn't do well here in the colonies is because it goes non-stop with a small intermission and American football is continually interrupted for advertising. American football has around 50 minutes to an hour of advertising with sometimes as much as 100 ads. It's the American way. We exist to be consumers.
Larry is honestly one of the best characters in the league and it kinda makes me sad how underrated he's been in recent years. The kind of player/personality I could see having a long career as a analyst/coach after his playing days are over.
I love how well spoken meny of the NBA players are.
Very cool. Have more players on.
The Cavs still need to prove themselves. Out of the Top 4 teams this past season the Cavs are the only unproven team. The Celtics, Pacers and Knicks are the only teams that have proved they can do anything. The C's and Pacers are injured and if those injuries hadn't occurred I would still put the Cavs 4th at best. Because either way it's sliced the Cavs weren't beating the Pacers. The Pacers play that style of basketball better than the Cavs.
we need to put futsal goals next to or around our public basketball hoops and then we will grow our own Ronaldinhos.
Allez Bontemps!
