Raptors sign Markquis Nowell

[tripa]

What was the point of defending Bargnani? Even Bargnani wouldnt defend himself. Everyone knows he didnt care and didnt really like basketball.

So is Nowell the new shorter VV?

Does Duffman know Pensare personally?

lolll wait what.

Duffman didn't call Pensare a "mental patient". I did.

Duffman even said it was inappropriate for me to say it.

Pensare is fair game...he makes all sorts of claims about other's personal integrity on a public platform.

And I called him a mental patient because I watched him deliver a 20 minute monologue on youtube about getting robbed by "two black guys" at Kennedy Station that was clearly fictitious and frankly hilarious. But also disturbing.

The motivation to lie about such a thing on a public forum is why I referred to him as a "mental patient".

This dude is messed up.

How do you know he's lying though? Saying I got robbed isn't the most extreme thing. You have the clip of the 20 minute video?

Don't watch 1-2 hr long Pensare YT videos. I'm surprised so many of you here watch that much content there to formulate such strong opinions. Must have a lot of time on your hands.

That’s where they get their basketball news from. It’s pretty wild.

I don't think he provides basketball news. He does basketball analysis. Whether you agree with his conclusions is up to you.

I don't mean you Los29 specifically, just saying "you" in general.

Basketball news or basketball analysis, no one should be going to him for it. LOL.

Im one of the guys that robbed Pensare at Kennedy station, I can confirm that he is not lying.

You must have been the one who told him you took "multiple cab rides in the getaway".

I mean...what kind of stick-up kid takes "multiple can rides" after a robbery for a couple hundred bucks? Talking about breaking even lol.

And also....how would the victim know the robber took multiple cab rides to make their getaway?

That's not even breaking the surface of this compulsive liar's far-fetched tales. And it makes it worse that he insisted on adding a race element. I mean....this guy Pensare is pretty fuxked up.

Appears he also lied about studying criminology of all things.

We are getting close to warranting a topic/thread dedicated to exposing this lying grifter. I hope it doesn't have to come to that.

I think if Nowell ever gives us anything for the big club this has to be considered as a win

and tbh, I think he is capable of doing that, he seems to have some decent playmaking chops

[mdenny]

I am pulling for Nowell.

But the craziness of this board calling players "selfish" don't even know the depths of Nowell's style. Man....I worked on the tournament...nowell was the best point guard of March madness. It wasn't because he "knew his role" lol. He played great but his style is "actually" selfish. It's not just a word that casuals use because they don't know anything when it comes to Nowell...he is a "real" selfish player.

Nowell commanded all control of his team's offense. And it worked. He made demonstrative objections when he wasn't given the ball by his teammates.

Fred VanVleet was always more a team player than Nowell will ever be. And I say that as someone rooting for Nowell.

Why is there an agenda against pensare basketball? He makes opinionated youtube videos. Again he's talking about basketball players and his opinions on the games of said basketball players.

Clearly none of this matters in terms of the success of said players because those same players are getting paid the highest contracts in the league. And yet some posters take it personally that they need to attack his mental sanity?

So posters get upset about basketball agendas, board divisiveness, saying people have personal issues with certain players, are upset with the constant attacks on the performance of certain players and again, it's all performance based criticism and frustration with the game of basketball and then think it's justified that they make personal attacks against people with opinions on certain players.

Make it make sense to me.

I would get it if people made criticisms against players like he's a horrible human, I hate him and his family, I hope he never has success at the nba level, I hope he never gets paid again, etc, etc, but I've never seen this before.

At 5'7", give or take an inch, Nowell's odds of playing in the NBA would've been somewhere between 'hell no' to 'ya got to be kidding.' Yet here we are. He should absolutely continue to do what he's been doing and say whatever he's been saying.

In the least, he will give 110% and show other young Raptors players what hard work means.

[gbball]

While unlikely, it's not impossible.

Isaiah Thomas was the best player on a good Boston team that made the playoffs. Only injuries derailed his career. I think Thomas was a better shooter than Nowell though. Nowell is probably the better playmaker though.

I mean, Tony Parker said “When you say your dream to somebody, and he's not laughing at you - you aren't dreaming big enough.”

We all are sure laughing at Nowell's dream right now...maybe he can prove everybody wrong (yet again)....but I'm not holding my breath.

Somehow his delusions of grandeur evaded their interview filter. Correct the mistake. This dude appears to be irrational.
