OT: Philadelphia 76ers: Taking Our Talents To The Offseason...Again

[Hollywood Cannon]

Oh hey, it’s now come out that the University of Akron is paying for the scholarships, not Lebron.

The media is a big fat phony.

So is he actually a huge loser? It seems like it to me, but I never watch the NBA.

Depends who you ask.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Depends who you ask.

I thought I was being pretty clear in asking you I don't care what anyone else thinks, except Fart and Jojo.

 

[Chinatown88]

SMH. Modern news outlets today are awful.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

I mean I personally think he’s a loser. Way too thinned skinned and craves attention.

 

[Cody Webster]

It's now confirmed that the Sixers will play the Celtics in Boston on Christmas Day.

And opening night as well

Sixers @ Celtics Oct 16 opening night on TNT

Sixers @ Celtics Xmas day

 

[JojoTheWhale]

Is there any way the article can live up to the headline? They're that incompetent, aren't they?

 

[FLYguy3911]

The NBA wasted no time going to Woj.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

I figure the NCAA is going to charge these agents a "fee" to represent the players and it's just another way for those crooks to make money.

the nba is really pushing boston as the new power in the east. both games in boston shows their bias i hope the sixers can win both games and give silver a big ol middle finger.

@HakstolisAFartVacuum But was it worth it?!

So who here thought with that love fest that Lebron got last week that he was footing the bill for everything with that school?

All of you? Right.

Nah, he donated what amounts to $2M and the tax payers are likely on the hook for the rest going forward. But hey, Chris Paul donated $2.5M to Wake Forest today and you don't see any pomp and circumstance around that.

I read on Twitter that the amount he’s donating is equivalent to someone who makes $50k per year donating $10 at church every week.

(I didn’t check if that was accurate, but if it is it’s pretty funny)

Visiting one of my buddies who works on the staff at Duke and watching Zion Williamson work live is breathtaking.

Dude looks like a young Barkley.

Someone posted this in the basketball section. Impressive. Most impressive.

 

[FLYguy3911]

He’s 285 as an 18 year old. Not sure how that body type is going to work in the NBA but he can jump out of the gym.

Witnessed this live. Did it just as I was walking into the gym. My head nearly snapped off my neck in disbelief.

He needs to work on his body for sure like all teens but when he trims down his athleticism is going to pop even more.
He's got Simmons/AD/Embiid type potential on draft day.

I just cant wait for the 'but he cant shoot' arguments ad nauseum like we hear with Simmons

 

[FatTugboatFlahr]

I really don’t see his potential like that.

 

[Lotusflower]

I really don’t see his potential like that.

Understandable.
Having watched him live and now played a little against him, its very exciting in the same way that I felt scouting AD and Simmons when they were teens because you really dont know how his game will develop in the next 2-3 yrs.

If he develops certain things well enough he's a top 5 NBA player. If certain things never develop he might be a disappointment but still have a long NBA career.

This time 4 years ago I was convinced Simmons was a power forward only. Then his IQ on offense just kept popping even as he escalated in competition. His body control and finishing were gulfs away from what they are now and that quantum leap he took from age 17-20 has convinced me he'll be a force for years.

Zion is in that same boat at the same age though Simmons was better at 18.
You've almost got to give him the ball everywhere on the floor in practice and just let him work it out over time.

Looks like Trumps strategy has worked like gangbusters on you.

The media is phony on all sides. They don't report news/facts and leave it at that, they put their own spin on everything. The news channels aren't in it to inform people anymore, they're in it to entertain people and get eyeballs.
