The guy was signed as a way to pay him more to play for the 905. Because the 905 has had no depth.

Why the hell would anyone talk about too many people thinking he was going to play in the NBA or be Isiah Thomas, like that was the reason he was signed :crazy:

There’s a reason only a handful of short players have ever made it in the NBA

Guy was an absolute joke. Maybe he should have left his NYC swag at the door.

People who don't understand the definition of cheering, are surely well-read and intelligent, and definitely should be slinging insults.

Who did he hurt by making that statement? Who did he disrespect? Who tf cares if he motivates himself by trying to manifest the unlikeliest of things. You ppl like complaining about the dumbest things.

All the best to him he flashed some good things

To pursue basketball and get drafted as a 5'7 player probably requires a lot of "delusion" in the first place. This mentality got him this far, he wants to dream big. I hope he makes it to the NBA one day.

When he says he will be the best Raptor of all time, and instead plays 4 minutes before getting cut, yes, he is THAT delusional.

This. Im quite sure he has manifested this by dreaming big and setting expectations for himself that seem crazy. But what he has achieved is crazy in itself

Who is complaining? I just said his statement about being the GROAT was absurd. Man, you guys defend these dudes like they are your family.

The reading comprehension on this board is in the dumpster, no one was cheering his failure, no one said anyone was hurt, disrespected or anything. I simply was laughing at the absurdity of the comment, and the predictable outcome.

Some of y'all need some English 101 classes or something. Or just stop manufacturing outrage so you can jump to the defence of imaginary statements you made up.

Ok why are you so bothered by it? Your rant and calling everyone dumb is a hell of a stronger response than "why do you guys complain".

Nowell is a young guy. I think he will learn from this experience. It was foolish when he said it and looks even more foolish now. Wish him nothing but the best.
