Can I ask the significance of the word " woke " in this particular debate?

I hear a bunch of people use this word all willy nilly and usually it's not used correctly.

In fairness, I haven't gone back to the beginning of this conversation.

So, it's possible that I missed something.

I'm assuming you have an issue with Booker not making the team?

I took issue with Booker missing the AS game last night and @bksballer89 blew up on me and basically told me that I was a noob fan that casually watches basketball. So I mockingly called him woke when he incorrectly made assumptions and hypocritical statements about Booker and the Suns.

I'm not woke but I am awake......LOL.

Ah, okay.

Looks like the coaches are placing a premium on Team success this year.

Because, Beal didn't get in either.

Hassan playing his way into a nice contract this summer. Can see a team offering a 3/45-50M type of deal this summer

Well, to be fair, you ARE a Suns fan soooo....

Not a big deal. I was telling my son before the game that I thought they'd get blown out.

Kobe probably would have called them soft and taken away the Kobe shoes they were wearing last night though. lol

if Freak ends up on the Raps i know ONE fan here'll have a heart attack...

Kobe's greatness and what he achieved as a player coming out of HS paved the way for Lebron to become a superstar at that young of an age. Kobe also wasn't given the opportunity to play right away as Lebron was. That Lakers team he was drafted to was trying to compete for a championship, whereas Lebron was able to learn on the fly. Kobe was also blocked at the time by Eddie Jones who became an allstar that year.

Now not saying Kobe was necessarily NBA ready like Lebron was, but if you gave Kobe 30 minutes a night and a prime role, I think his "production" in his rookie year is much higher.

Of course he would have produced more.

The point is he needed some time to learn the NBA game which is why he wasn’t given that opportunity. He wasn’t ready for that role.

LeBron would not have averaged 22-5 on most playoff teams as a rookie, but he was a good enough NBA ready player as a rookie to have a major role on any team.

Kyrie with 54 points, him and durant will dominate any team pretty soon

Best duo in the NBA
