Why do you think the Quentin Grimes SnT is taking so long...

I hate posts like this.

This is completely ridiculous and you know it ....

.... especially when the Hawks have Jacob (not Obi) Toppin and a (gently used) Kobe Bufkin sitting right there. No way Nico can pass on this.

In all earnestness…Can somebody please explain to me why I can’t stand Bronny? Kid’s heart exploded and he has impossible shoes to fill…I SHOULD be rooting for him. And yet, he’s just so hatable for some reason. Am I really that big of an a-hole?

You're really that big of an a-hole.

Clearly, I assked for that.

Hate is crazy for a kid who's seems super respectful and has done nothing wrong, been through real life or death adversity and resumed his dream. Also seems like he is self aware and realistic of his skills or lack there of and what he's not. Spoke about how only way he can see minutes is if he's a menace on defense, knows his best case scenario is at best a end of the bench spot guy.

Yep, spot-on…yet I still smolder.

I think another poster hinted at part of why the loathe is real with some of us—the undeserved media swarm.

Most everyone understands exactly who Bronny is as a basketball player, so getting a frontpage headline for missing a gamewinner when there are other better stories just feels somewhat icky. Like, who is that headline catering to? Casuals aren’t invested enough to be looking during the summer, non-fans kinda barely know who his dad is in 2025 (and those who do probably aren’t BBall savvy enough to make the connection whose kid it is), we all know better…so who?

Anyway, even though something inside me can’t stand the kid, he’s obviously got his head on straight, given his situation…
It could also just be partially a Laker thing.

Add in the mullet, which has sadly made the return for young white guys. And we got him a very unique look for the NBA haha

Isn't this just Larry Bird? :lol:

Cooper with that atrocious facial hair looks like a kid trying to sneak into an R rated movie.

Looked way less filled in on my TV. At this point I’m just gonna assume you’re part of Flagg’s inner circle or a troll, and you photoshopped it to look better. Either way, welcome to my “foe list”. Blocked.

Whew. That escalates quickly.

The NBA may be in summer league, but realgm is in postseason form.

Cooper Flagg is in this stage of his life now:

"when I let my mustache grow"

"how I wish to look" / "how I look"

Excited to see Hugo Gonzalez for the Celtics for the 1st time today. And Baylor Scheierman really came on strong in the last couple months of last season, so it'll be fun to see his development.

Great pick for your team and great landing spot for him.

DaRon Holmes looked good for the Nuggets yesterday coming back from an Achilles which included shooting well from deep.

If Lebron can TM "Taco Tuesday" then I am putting the trademark down for Hansen "Broke-ic" Yang right now.
