It's not everyday you see a rookie getting double/triple teamed like that... :wink:


For sure, he made some tough shots that looked tough and made some tough shots look easy but YIKES, he had a rough ankle twist in the 3rd and didn't return in the game.

Loved how he took JO to the rack and REALLY LOVED the driving jump pass he gave Shelden Williams who in all fairness did try to go up strong and dunk it but he got blocked.

No vid as of yet though.

And shoutout to 624 (I believe ?) for posting the vids of this kid, good lookin' out.

Nice to see some posters coming around on this guy's talent, some even seeing what I'm seeing style-wise.

wtf?

you think he has potential to be the best player in the L and lead his team to an NBA title?

cause thats what Kobe did at 31.....he dropped 27-5-5 in the regular season and 30-6-6 in the playoffs en route to a championship

I think this kid is talente but lets not get ahead of ourselves. He's not very athletic. People seem to be forgetting that Kobe in his prime was one of the most athletic players in history.

Thanks (except I didn't make the vids, I just post them).


Here's the one against Boston (keep in mind the garbage he was playing with around him):

Bump.

This kid is front page material, not to mention he did a decent job against the Heat but man I wanted to see him play against D Wade!

That's enough. Don't create another "future of Brooks" thread in the near future on the general boards. There's a rookie thread already, and a team board full of fans, if you don't feel like you have enough MarShon talk in your life.
