But Zach LaVine never should have left UCLA early! He's not supposed to do that! He wasn't even a starter in college!


I love his maturation.

It's more humiliating as a defensive player to run out of the lane and give a free pass.

Wait Tyler Johnson? Really ? He's one of the whitest looking dudes I seen if he's mixed then I'm shocked too.

The other 3 guys is pretty obvious they aren't

Dunks like this are the most exciting part of the game, and that was awesome. But i hate how people rag on someone for trying to defend instead of getting out of the way. Anyways, whenever I hear Alex Len this moment comes to mind now lol...

Well on my small island they are people with much darker skin than them and they are European, nobody is calling them black.

I don't want to get in to racial thing I am not a racist or anything, my judgment is based on the standards that I have on the place that I live.

i remember watching one dunk in college from him, his team was losing and he was getting frustrated. his facial expression changed and he exploded to the rim. I knew right then he would be a high draft pick. I thought geez if he can do that whenever he gets mad ppl better not make him mad.

Yeah this isn't humiliating at all. Nice Dunk but at the same time I respect Len for giving it all he could there. I'd rather see that then someone step aside.

Oh, get out of here with this elitist d-baggery. "People who really appreciate the sport". :lol:

Yeah, Len tried...and he got rocked. Sick dunk by LaVine.


Elitist or not, I think we're in the sort of basketball culture that discourages contesting shots for a fear of getting posterized. I don't care who got dunked on/ankles broken, it should just be a credit to the offensive player.


Giving up a dunk at the rim can be the defender's fault. If they're late to rotate, that's a mistake that cost the team 2 pts. If they simply get beat, well that's on them too.

What makes the notion of a "poster" fundamentally absurd is that it's two points. At the end of the day it's pretty insignificant relative to the totality of the time a player spends on the court. People get annoyed by this subject on real GM just like they'd get annoyed by someone saying Jeff Green is/was a better SF than Luol Deng.
