Patsanity baby let's gooooo.😅😊
Yeah, this guy found a genie’s lamp that still had one wish left…
Man, it was so refreshing not having a sports gambling ad mid video 🎉❤
Spence-sanity
He's not a sniper we simply don't have a large enough sample size to really know what his shooting effectiveness is like. Up until the last few weeks he hasn't played the minutes or in a large enough role on the team to be taking many shots least of all 3s. He wasn't respected by other teams for really anything because he was so far down the warriors rotation that he wasn't on anyone's scouting report.
Having said all that you can see the poise and experience shine through. He's fast heading towards 30 though so if he looks more assured and competent than Podz who has become somewhat of a punching bag for many Warriors fans it's for good reason.
As a Warriors fan myself for years it's been very refreshing to see the team play without the stars and with no agendas on the court for the most part. Honestly even when Steph plays if just isn't as fun as it used to be to watch the team play as somehow it's often even more reliant on his offence. I don't envy the role players on this team because the messaging from the coaching staff is so all over the place.
JK will be gone relatively soon and I hope he finds some joy elsewhere. He's most clearly not a fit for this team but I think he can be plenty effective elsewhere.
I think the hyping of the Warriors drafting record really needs to die. Since they drafted Steph, Klay and Dray how many genuine rotation players have been drafted and stuck with the team, just one Loon dog. The drafting record is full of far more misses or guys that ended up buried in rotation and maybe were able to shine when they ended up elsewhere.
PATSANITYYYY!
The problem is most people don’t believe what the FBI is saying. Candace represents these people. The other side accepts the nonsense. Stop the nonsense.
Even the attempt that spencer did of a fadeway J on Holgrem of chet(FTC) was all I needed to see to know the kobe gene
His League!🐐
Pat playing way better than Kuminga 😂👏
🐐
Pat Spensanity.. hope this is longer than linsanity.. 😅
OFFICER PAT report for duty!
This is gonna be NBA2K27 MyPlayer storyline😂😂 GO Warriors🔥🔥
Since Naismith invented basketball so lacrosse players could practice ball movement while snowed in, Pat Spencer's moves make a lot of sense.
4:58 wrong person inserted during that statement 🤷🏿♀️
His brother Cam is having a breakout year too for Memphis. He's got excellent court vision and poise. Not to mention he's a goddamn grizzly bear.
Kerr should be able to relate to Spence, he reminds me so much of him
draymon green was a fail of a pick, litterally never plays defence
The Spensanity will never be forgotten
The Warriors owes Pat Spencer a Ring! 💪
I love Spencer icing that Cavs game at the line. He is gelling.
You knew he was different… when i first saw him play, i thought to myself this is a guy to watch and now he is showing it. Way to go Pat Spencer… woo hoo
Spencer is a floor general,..better than podz in my opinion…he should be the guard next to curry… better trade podz with kuminga for laure
another Curoso?
