Yes, he should try to become like Aaron Gordon, imo.

I'm sure Kerr has tried endlessly to achieve this :lol:


Good point, I hadn't thought of that.

Also, Jalen’s dunk is also getting way too much hype. He makes 2/3 as good or better every game.

Van vleets leg went up, not to the side. This isn't what the rule is supposed to be for.

I dunno about you but I haven't seen JK show the BBIQ needed to be like Aaron Gordon. The kid is an athlete but that is about it rn. He needs to do some serious development this offseason.


Why doesn't he do what Amen does. Play elite defense and be scrappy instead of forcing trash shots

Jalen Green is an idiot.

Yeah if he has the body, the talent and the warriors are willing to let him go it to me means they can't mold him into a core player. It's like a talented player who's bad on the Heat, it seems absurd.

They didn't, they are looking to see if it's a flagrant.

If it would've went to the side, would've been an offensive foul.

By going up, he went for the contact. Definitely is a right overturn
