1. The camp that wants to gloat about being contrarians for attention for not wanting Fultz over some of the other prospects, so they want Fultz to fail to make themselves look good. And they want to expedite the process by trying to control the narrative and way blow the entire situation out of proportion.

2. People who are jealous the Sixers got Fultz, are salty about the embarrassment of riches we have in young stud players and our roster, and one of those prospects failing makes other people feel better about their teams and less jealous. It's pretty amazing the lengths people will go with sports to quell their own jealousies. They can't handle the truth, it eats them up. It's the same crap as when people go "Durr.... Embiid will just get hurt again and never be good!" after he has a 30/10/5 game.

The reality: this situation has been totally overblown from the start. He hurt his shoulder, it's not all that serious, the Sixers bungled the PR aspect of it like they always do, and when he gets healthy he'll come back and be normal again(whenever that is). There really isn't much more to this story than that. It's not a conspiracy, it's not weird, all that is trolls and attention-craving for headlines.


The reporters are the ones who tweeted footage of him and said stuff.

All they did was tweet footage and said it was odd, the other people created the narratives.

They know what they are doing when they tweet those videos. Bodner said he shot all jumpers with his left hand. He was giving accurate information but he knew what would happen with him tweeting that. They all do. You can imply things and that’s what they did. I don’t mind though. I want all the information. I’m glad they tweeted it.

But it isn't Bodner's responsibility to project how people will react, it's just to report the news. The people who twist things into false narratives are not the responsibility of anyone who reports news. Otherwise news would never be reported, because there are always people out there looking to twist stories to fit their agendas.

Fultz has a temporary issue, and his long term ceiling is the same as it ever was. I shouldn’t even use the word ceiling because that’s the best case scenario. His LIKELY long term outcome is as at least a high quality starter on a good team.

All of this stuff happening right now is just stuff to talk about because he isn’t playing at the moment.

They said that he would be re-evaluated in 3 weeks so we shouldn’t even be seeing this video of him. Wake him up at the next medical update.

Yup they did it deliberately trying to get re-tweets and subscribers. They absolutely knew posting that would have some supporters clutching their pearls.

I don't think it will stress it at all. In fact it only confirms to me he has right shoulder pain that only affects him when he rotates his shoulder past a certain point. It's no wonder it changed his shooting motion.

Zero desire? I'd love to be able to shoot well with both hands.

Most of the power for the jump shot comes from your lower half. If you have a good base and use your legs in your shot, shooting with your off hand isn't as hard as it seems. The arms and upper torso are just there to guide the ball..just a quick flip of the arm and wrist. I'm naturally a righty, but I learned how to shoot with my left. Eventually I could shoot free throws about the same with either hand. For longer range, my right hand was better. I never really shot jump shots with my left in a real game, but I did when we played pick up games. People were mystified because they didn't know if I was a lefty or a righty.

I get the overall laughing at the narrative, but the emoji is a right hand.

I’m assuming he thought it was funny people would think he’s learning how to shoot left handed. He’s laughing at it then pointing out he’s right handed

I'll explain it for you then. Our guards suck Fultz was the best rated guard in the draft.The end
