Series Thread: 1st round 2) Knicks vs 7) Sixers

[DJ Fieri]

Yup, he's included. He was a losing bitch at LSU too.

You're a moron then.

It is as the right pick at that moment in time.

 

[eaglesnut]

Fultz didn't forget how to shoot he had a very real and career threatening injury.

And there are way worse busts than Simmons. And I'm hardly a fan of his

Bryan colangelo, at the recommendation of his faggot father, sent Fultz to doctors and therapists that would fuck him up on purpose. Sick twisted fuck. When jerry dies I'm throwing a party.

What part of he was a losing bitch at LSU do you not understand?

 

[eaglesnut]

There is a new free throw merchant king! He’s so good at it too, you have to respect it. He’s so crafty. I fucking hate seeing these Nova guys prosper on the Knicks.

He's not. It's fucking dumb that he can just jump into the space the defender owns and get the call.

No basketball game anywhere else would allow it.

It wouldn't be happening if the douchy commissioner wasn't a Knicks fan.

Pat Bev, hope throwing that ball and twice and hitting that lady in the head was worth it. It's gonna hit that pocketbook with emphasis Bro

Wish he was still here he could have hit that lady jalena brunson in the head

 

[eaglesnut]

If you don't want knicks fans in the arena than you don't let them in. Simple.

Our ownership group are a bunch of cunts.

Bryan Colangelo is responsible for three of the worst #1 overall picks in NBA history​

2006 - Andrea Bargnani -- A big man that couldn't defend or pass. He scored points, but in terribly inefficient ways. Never made an all-star or All NBA team. Never made it past the first round of the playoffs. Out of the league at Age 31.
2016 - Ben Simmons -- Had a terrific start to his career with a Rookie of the Year award and three consecutive All-Star appearences from 2019-2021. Was first team All-Defensive in 19-20, and 20-21. Was All NBA in 19-20. He definitely had tangible success in the first three years of his career that would be a level of output you'd expect from a #1 pick. However -- the second he got extended, his decline is clear. Never expanded his game offensively, deteriorated defensively, had an all-time infamous playoff meltdown, and for all practical purposes, has been a complete non-presence in the league for the last three seasons. He's effectively been cooked since Age 24 and there's a very good chance he'll be out of the league when his contract expires.
2017 - Markelle Fultz -- Colangelo actually traded up to get him over the likes of Tatum and Fox (along with Josh Jackson and Lonzo Ball, both of whom haven't had great careers). Infamously forgot how to shoot between Summer League and Training Camp. Has been injured for a majority of his career. When he's played, he's seemed to have remade himself into a servicable defender/distributor coming off the bench for a meh Magic team, so he may be able to stick as a backup PG, but never solved the shooting problem, and it's pretty safe to say will never approach the level expected of a #1 overall pick. It also wouldn't be completely shocking if he was out of the league at the end of his contract as well (although I expect he'll stick).

Simmons is not one of the worst 1-1s ever

He also picked maxey

Colangelo didn’t pick Maxey. That was Morey.

I mean..it was thoracic outlet syndrome so I don't think that can be rigged

You mean the same as Tourette’s syndrome, which is what this poster seems to have.

You're not a doctor.

Let's keep it to trashing the colangelos ya dope.

Ben Simmons was not a bad pick.

You are just pushing an agenda.

It really isn't.

LOL.

Yep.

I'm educating you.

 

[tlance]

I'm educating you.

No, you are clowning yourself.

And refusing to blame the people truly at fault for the 6ers failing to maximize the Simmons asset.
