OT: Jennings on Rubio: "I think the dude is all hype" 

Post#1 » by Rhettmatic » Fri Jun 12, 2009 8:38 pm

Found this on another board. Enjoy:

http://www.sacbee.com/static/weblogs/sp ... nning.html

And after Jennings showed off his game in a big way on the floor, he went about making huge headlines off of it. He was asked about Rubio and the fact that he isn't likely to work out for teams and will only interview, while Jennings is taking on big-time prospects The first Rubio mention is around the 1:30 mark, but it gets real juicy around 5:05, when Jennings is asked about the one time he faced off with Rubio (Flynn is on the left, Jennings on the right)

If Jennings can play as big as his mouth, he'll be an all-star.

He has a point...why don't international players go for 1 on 1 workouts and get a free pass?

Jennings talks crap about other players and he's not even in the NBA yet.
2019 Eastern Conference All Stars

Derozan
Lowry
Ibaka
Valanciunas
Van Vleet
Delon Wright
Lebron
Embiid

There are only 2 teams in the league that rank in the top 6 in offensive and defensive efficiency: the Golden State Warriors and the Toronto Raptors.

Jonny Flynn's reactions are the best part for me.

If I were him, I'd shut up. Jennings has a higher chance of becoming a bust compare to Rubio.
Either than that, he's jokes...

LMAO that was a funny interview. Johnny Flyn is laughing the whole interview, thinking 'Did he just say that". Jenningsis going to have a hard time shaking his Marbury 2.0 image with interviews like that.

As dumb as Jenings sounds, i like the cocky attitude ... it does warrant some criticism but it was sort of like when Pierce said he was the best player in the world ... its just he has confidence in his game .... though I fully expect Rubio to show him up ...

Yeah, all the best players must think that way... it's just that they don't actually say it because it'll obviously come across as being cocky. I can't hate on Jennings for that, that was damn funny.

To be honest, as a fan I prefer when guys are honest rather then sticking to there PR training ... for special cases yeah PR training is nice (Josh Howard and ZBo) but if your strictly talking basketball like Jennings was then hell yeah , let them say whats on htere minds ...

You got to love Johnny Flyn attitude though, as cocky as he looks playing, he acts like a pro and is confident at the same time. Swagger without being Marbury crazy. I likes his attitude in the video. Jennings was funny as hell but he may scare some Gms lol.

LOL did y'all see Jonny Flynn's reaction? He was laughing the whole time, when Jennings was running his mouth.

I like Jennings' confidence though. I don't think he'll fail in the NBA. He certainly believes he can play at the NBA level.
