These rising star games lets you know just how different pick up games are different than nba games.

McClung can hang in pickup games that include a phenom like wemby. He cant hang in the league.

Nah if they got NBA level serious then you would see the difference. McClung can’t really handle pressure or hard traps. They would eat him up. But you can tell that the NBA dudes besides the GSW guy weren’t tryna get hurt.

There is only one reason the kid gets showcased. I’m not mad about it but it’s played out. Maybe he will prove me wrong and they win this

Noone REALLY goes 1000% in pickup games either tbh. Theres little to no trapping or doubles a lot of the time. The booker situation comes to mind.

Its just different.

Yup... I turned out of wrestling so long ago but I've been completely back with the Rock returning.

The Rock being a heel wasn't supposed to happen but I love how they've transitioned. It's amazing how he can still pivot from being a babyface to a heel in a matter of days lol.

The reports say the rock was planning this all along, hes on the board that now owns wwe so all he cares about is views. Well played tbh.

Yea ive been keeping an eye casually the past year+ with the whole bloodline thing and now this...this post Vince era is shaping up to be probably the best since the attitude era. Its nice to see a little resurgence.

There are traps in pickup games (See Rico Hines). That’s why it happened to Booker. People are trying to win.

If you talking about those All-Star runs that aren’t serious then yea, J-Cole can also play there too. It’s not serious.

Rico hines isnt near nba either though. Lol. Scrubs that are also not playing minutes in the NBA look GREAT in the rico hines runs. Thats my whole thing :) McClung is not less than some of those guys that show out in rico runs.
