It's really the only explanation. Who intentionally buys clothes the color of whites washed with a new red beanie.


Probably, the same people who buy these jeans:

:o :lol: :crazy: Pee stained denim at Milan fashion week just proves that being a terrible person is punishment enough in itself.
From a fundamental standpoint it is better for a man to have nothing but be under the protection of Jesus Christ than for him to have everything he could ever want yet be completely without.

Hopefully he figures out whether this is what he wants to do…because he doesn’t play like someone who wants to maximize his talent. He just looks scared and doesn’t compete.

I think his basketball upbringing did him a disservice. He doesn’t even look like he can bring this ball up the court against a decent NBA defender..sad

I feel sorry for him. Imagine the pressure he is under. He's probably better than he has shown and would do better without the spotlight always being on him.

Without the spotlight on him, he's not drafted and he's out of the league. Probably wouldn’t have come out of college early. You can't just focus on the lowlights of having a superstar dad without mentioning the perks of having one. He has benefitted from all the coaching and facilities that a kid born into basketball would have.


Yeah, I mean obviously he is nowhere close to being an NBA player right now and likely won't be in the future. But, coming out now is also likely his best shot of making it in the NBA. Going back to college would have likely hurt his stock even more. He managed to get himself a guaranteed deal with his dad still in the league having influence and also getting a bit of a mulligan with the cardiac arrest incident, something that would have been much less likely to happen if he went back to school and stayed on his likely trajectory.

Holmes going down is absolutely huge for Denver. They loved him and I would take the leap to say they saw him as a rotation guy as a rookie. I expected him to be the 1st big off the bench for them.

This is way bigger than it seems for Denver. I bet that FO is scrambling right now. You can’t go into this season with Zeke and DAJ again.

Good grief. Denver lucky to bank that 2023 chip. There may not be anymore coming even with a generational Joker.

Wow, Anthony Black's highlights are looking sweeeeeeet. Magic could be going places before long if they play their cards right. Black's stroke looks clearly improved, albeit just a few shots. Looks like he has the touch and will become an NBA starter before long. Yes, I got that out of one minute of highlights. But then again, a shot was the primary missing piece for Black.

Michael Malone doesn't see anyone as a rotation guy as a rookie. Booth maybe did.

I honestly was more impressed by Sarr until I realized that Risacher is right handed but naturally uses with his left like its his dominate hand. :o

I think everyone remembers one thing about Brewer, somehow, he was always first near the opponent rim as soon as opponent possession stops, guy had 50 point game by basically sneakily playing Viveks cherry puxk offense, dude didnt care for defensive re bounds or that opponent can systaib possession, dude just ran for fast break points at any opportunity. Visually similar to Risacher, long legs.

Jordan Miller was on a two way and is a guard that can spot at the three......not sure how PJ is a comparison, especially since Tucker hardly played himself.

Its not even hype, I dont really know what this is, but has anyone really been hyped for Bronny in the NBA, I mean beside the fact it would be funny to see this scrub suck?

Seriously, I had no clue Lebron James was that influential, I seriously didn’t know...

And I will never let go of these morons threatening James will play in Australia if drafted. Australia has a good league, but nah, I bet these teams were lining up to sign USC midget nobody :lol: This family has zero self awareness and humility. I mean I get Australia was just a throwaway word, but be honest at least, Bronny will play in Pakistan second division if someone else drafts him... Then I can invision Bronny getting a contract, no offense Pakistan...

I do not think I am a bad guy, I never really cheer against players, even if dont like them outside the court, Issak for example, but man I find joy in this guy being garbage. I on principle now do not listed American, especially ESPN garbage broadcast media, I cant even think how it must feel if what you guys saying is true, and they just talking this scrub whole game. I mean, people must care if they talk him, outside media arent on agendas, they are after clicks, and people still care about this scrub. Well, I got to be honest, him sucking is funny, snd when I wake up and check summer league scores, I am more interested in other players, but I am interested to check out new James Jr. scrub prrfotmance, I am not gonna lie....

They also had that guy, Brandon Boston I think his name is. Wasn't he bigtime prospect at one point?

Kid wasn't forced into any of this. He could have said - dad, do not manufacture and snake oil me into NBA, I am making on my own or not making at all...

I think it would be best for everyone to just ignore Bronny, we shouldnt even be wasting time on him because we all knew he wasnt nba talent
