Devin Ebanks Hitting the Gym and Thoughts on the Team

Gek · Post #1 » by **Gek** » Mon Sep 13, 2010 7:09 pm

If you want to complain about the off-season topics, read the reasoning (scroll down) behind my post first. If you still don't think those are valid topics of discussion then bitch away.

I put them in chronological order:

Via His Twitter:

DevinEbanks3
Early morning Wrkout Kobe might be in here wrking can't wait to meet him

DevinEbanks3
Jus met Kobe @shannonbrown and @steveblake. Shannon is mad funny behind the scenes lol Blake was laid back cool dude. And Kobe was Kobe! Lol

Already got two workouts done. Got some shots up wit Theo Ratliff and @shannonbrown. This dude Shannon brown bounce is def REAL lol

DevinEbanks3
Great wrkout today 4hours long tho, but its well worth it for my 1st championship. Shower then goin house searching!

And his take on the music game:

DevinEbanks3
EBANKS TOP 5 DEAD OR ALIVE: 5-Lil Wayne, 4-NAS(QUEENS ALL DAY), 3-Jay-Z, 2-2pac, AND Number 1 goes to BIGGE SMALLS!!!

and after people complained about his list he remade it

DevinEbanks3
U KNO WAT HEAR IS MY REAL TOP 5. 5:LIL BOOSIE, 4:DEM FRANCHISE BOYS,3: Frenchie, 2: WACKA FLOCKA AND 1: SOULJA BOY LOL greatest rappers! lol

Anyways to the reasons I am posting this:
1) He's working out, good.
2) He likes the team, better.
3) The rest of the team is working out.
4) It's interesting to see someones first impressions on the team.
5) It's nice to know he has a personality.

You know KB is going to be in the gym, but glad to see Blake and Ratliff in there early too. Camp is coming up fast!

I'm pretty sure the 2nd refined list was sarcasm.

Atleast, I hope so, the first list is legit though.

No way lil wayne is top 5 please... theres tons of others Mc's that could be in there (Rakim, KRS1 to name a couple). Damn, coming from a queens native and new yorker... he should know better. :roll:

He replaced Wayne with JADA in a later tweet.

Also the nickname for Derrick Character is DC per Shannon Brown's Twitter.

This season is gonna be fun. Great TEAM!

I know alot of people like to compare D.C to Big Baby but I get more of a bigger and stronger Jeff Green type of game from him.

Ebanks looks promising and him developing under Kobe and Ron Ron is only gonna make him better.

Let's get this RING LAKE SHOW!!!

That's about as high as an aging Kobe gets :lol:

Ebanks better not spend a lot of money on a house. He is not a sure thing to make the team. He will sit on the bench and really do little if Phil has any say in it. I hope he comes ready and blows us away. Trevor he is not. Second round picks make less than a million and hope he is ready to look at other options if needed. Over seas might be full now.

Yeah my top 5 would be anything consisting of:
Pac, Jay, Biggie, Nas & Em.

(if we're including duo's and groups, Wu-Tang, Black Star, & Outkast have an argument

With Luke's future as a player in doubt and Matt Barnes trouble with the law I'm thinking Ebanks making the team this year is all but guaranteed. He's insurance that we need. The Lakers don't know how to waive players anyways; we let Sun, Shammond, Mckie, Devin Green, Wafer ride the bench all year long.

common now... Theo Ratliff would not have played 400+ years in the league if he wasn't a gym rat... yahhhh Blake in there early is a good thing.

Damn not sure if that 5 could even win a game at the local YMCA.

Edrees · Post #18 » by **Edrees** » Tue Sep 14, 2010 7:04 am

to the guy who said ebanks is all but guaranteed: matt barnes fiancee or gf or whatever isn't pressing charges, she said she wasn't assaulted...so yeah barnes no longer has any trouble with the law so your reasoning isn't sound

Post #19 » by **crazyeights** » Tue Sep 14, 2010 8:43 am

I would say his next point makes his reasoning sound. About all the other scrubs we kept. At least Ebanks is a rookie and should have better days ahead of him.

Whereas a guy like McKie...oh well, if anyone remembers Mitch waved his magic wand and sent McKie to Memphis for Pau.

LIL WAYNE DOESN"T EVEN RAP ANYMORE!!! Its more like spoken word through auto-tune.
