2021 NBA regular season thread

You were “supposed to be a first round pick”?

According to you I suppose?

Too bad the scouts didn’t agree with your personal assessment.

Absolutely was, had 20 scouts at high school games, dude, according to you stat geeks , when you win on the world stage as an amateur, recognized as one of the best in the world at time, what do you think is going to happen . I played SS, key to it all!

Trust me this guy wasn’t close to the best player in his little league

Actually that was June draft, I went in 2nd round winter phase, but no money was offered, scout who drafted passed away, spring came hit .250, no bueno!!

But you weren’t a 1st round pick. You said you were 10th round.

Not really close.

So saying you were “supposed to be a 1st rounder” is just as bad as your NBA takes.

Would Wiggins plus the Minny pick be enough?

Assuming money works I would think so in this draft....not sure I do it if I'm GS. already have wiseman so I'd rather hold onto that pick or get someone younger or at least more durable than Zinger.

do athletes in all sports train with weights today?

do athletes in all sports jog/run to get in shape today?

do athletes diet , nutrition, to get in shape today?


If all athletes today don’t do any of these basic forms of preparing for sport today with the money being thrown around , they would be more than foolish, don’t you think?

"It makes no difference the sport you are preparing for" <---- your words from comment # 12,740


Not all athletes train the same. Most or all athletes do all of the things you mentioned but they all have different routines.

Example. A sprinter isn't going to train the same way a wrestler would. If you don't understand that comparison here's another one. A football player isn't going to train the same way a basketball player would.

Stop being such a fool.

a 60-year-old person who is not a pro athlete might do all these things....so there's that?

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

Julius Randle for Most Improved?

Jordan Clarkson for 6th Man?

Lakers sure know how to draft.

Talen Horton-Tucker for MVP in 2026?

 

[trojanfan12]

You still pretending to be a pro baller?

It's the interwebz...we can all be anything we want.

 

[trojanfan12]

Ahhh this is a sports message board, who is it that a sports message board would want to attract? Pee Wee Herman?

He would be much more believable at being a former professional athlete than you are.

Ooh, Ooh, now tell us about the time you flew that rocket ship to a huge meteor that was headed straight for earth and saved all of humanity.

That was Kiroc, after he saved the kid from drowning with the mouth to mouth and legs into chest technique as he began to regain his memory... then , I am Kiroc saved the planet from the asteroid through musical notes translated by Spocks Brain.

Well, according to you they don’t do those things.

According to you pro athletes do very little in the off-season to prepare or to get better.

So the Lakers just not going to play Trez lol

 

[trojanfan12]

They were talking about that on a local show yesterday. They're running into the same issues the Clippers did in the playoffs last year. There are some teams that he's just going to be that effective against.

 

[bksballer89]

Ugly win for the Heat but guess I'll take it

 

[DJ Fieri]

Well....we married and I need food and alcohol.

 

[thunderc]

Well....we married and I need food and alcohol.

Congrats. Yeah that need for alcohol is now permanent

 

[wildturkey]

Roster is fairly different than last year, but the outcome is still gonna be the same; The Lakers are only going as far as Lebron can take them. He carries them. They ain't shit without him.
