Im not high on Reddish, at all.

It's wild. I hadn't watched a lot of Reddish game on other teams. But when this guy checked in I was like holy ****, this guy is built like he could be a star. Then I proceeded to watch him actually play and yikes. It sucks because if he could fine a niche, SOMETHING. Just be a great defender. He has all the tools.

[MyUniBroDavis]

Reddish is talented and good at basketball but atm he’s not been a good NBA player and it’s clear to see why, esp if he can’t shoot

I remember seeing this live but i forgot about it until i was watching a Lebron passing highlights video. This one is never brought up in his best passes of all time but it may be it.

This team’s offense for the coming season might be better than most expected.

[xb3at band1tx]

the offense looks spectacular

defense gonna need time to gel with the new guys but love what I'm seeing on the scoring

I’m not sure if this is just a preseason thing, though I did not see this last year, but their sets were much different and they were actively hunting threes out there and they got a lot of good shots. Obviously you’re not going to get the same type of shots in a regular season game or especially a playoff game, but it looks like a different mindset out there.
.
Anthony Davis looks really, really good. DLo, Reaves, and Rui all look good. Hayes looks like he could actually be taking direction well and might be willing to play a set role.

I would respectfully disagree as this was an extremely high risk pass and should have been easily picked off but Haywood was asleep. LBJ has made some incredible looks but luck played a huge part here. It worked out and looks great but no way this should have gotten through positionally past Haywood.

That's the brilliance of it tho. These types of high risk high reward passes that unearth layups/dunks out of nothing are the most valuable assists in the sport. Bron caught Haywood napping and put one past his ear as Ilgauskas shifted to the other side of the rim. The fact that Lebron caught that and snuck it in there with strength, speed, and accuracy is astounding.

I mean look at the angle of his arms after that pump fake. To still have the strength to snap it in there after that is incredible. How many players could've pulled that off?

Yeah.. it’s not like Magic Johnson and Steve Nash (the two best playmakers in league history) have made a name for high risk / D.O.D. , high reward passes

Oh yeah, it visually looked amazing! I'm just saying the Haywood was out to lunch guarding Big V, who got the jump on him, that's all. I just don't think he meant it going right over Haywoods shoulder etc. Still a great pass!

Ah my bad for the facetiousness. I was more or less implying that a pass of that stature shouldn’t be discounted & doing so seems silly - whether it’s Bron or anyone else

Appreciate it buddy

[thebigbird]

I like the pieces on this Lakers team. I don’t think it’s enough to win a title with LeBron being in his 21st season, but it should be a fun regular season to watch. After Westbrook utterly ruined the last two regular seasons I’m really excited for this one.

[thebigbird]

JHS really sucks. Idk what Rob was thinking with that pick. He’s years away from being able to play rotation minutes.
