Barret's career will be defined by his ability to shoot. If he can put in the work and become a great shooter (he's capable) then he can be a HOF.

It just occurred to me what Zion was talking about in this video:


RJ's been talking about his love for the Knicks at least with his teammates for a while, it just became public once that seemed like it was about to become a reality.

RJ’s fire should be contagious with this young squad
BAF Pacers

F. Campazzo/ J. Clarkson/ K. Lewis Jr
D. Mitchell/ J. Richardson/S. Merrill
Luka/Melo
Zion/Gay/Gabriel
KAT/Kabengele

F. Mason, Jontay, J. Harris

Just watched the RJ interview on YouTube...man the whack YouTube closed captioning already trying to get this young man in trouble. :lol:

5:09 mark the closed captioning turned “Its just amazing Canada basketball...” into “Its just amazing cannabis!”

RJ was so calm in the press conference. Confident too. Very impressive for a young kid dealing with the likes of Berman and Isola and Bondy.

Remember RJ and Zion are best friends, I’m pretty sure they have talked about teaming up again.

I was waiting for the Knicks to draft a super annoying white scrub.

Travis Knight - nah
Baker? Too nice, wrote a kids book
Mario? Not drafted, but potential
Kornet - low key hated, but lacks true in the face aggressiveness
Assorted Euros - none of them possessing true American white boy d*ckishness
Chris Dudley - priviledged, arrogant, a real d*ck. Willing to foul anyone anytime. Last true player of this ilk. Loses points for being paid like real starter


This Brazzers fellow? Real potential as super annoying to the entire league white role player.
Chance for some Austin Croshere, Danny Ferry, Scott Skiles "greatness" (Skiles was actually good).

I know I'm missing someone. There was someone who looked even more like a HS janitor than Skiles.

8 pages for RJ. If it was controversy it would of been 100.
