Ah okay, again proving you know nothing about it except the video.


Including the part where a 7''3 pf pushes a 5 ft women out of the way. Video is pretty damning. Where did you get your rose colored glasses?

Do you have some information about this non altercation at a non bar you'd like to reveal?

Kevin Love or Boozer had great rebounding numbers because they literally not even tried to block any shot at all. KP could pull a Kevin Love and end up with higher rebounding numbers. At offense he plays often a stretch-4, also hurting his offensive rebounding numbers.

So the "bad rebounder" is the result of the way he plays and not BECAUSE he is a bad rebounder.


They are great rebounders because there great rebounders. There are plenty of shotblockers who are capable of averaging double digit rebounds. Who aren't athletic or 7''3. Have you ever even watched Porzingiz play?


No there arent plenty. For both you need an incredible fast 2nd jump or general dominance and not many have that. Thats why the league isnt filled with Rudy Goberts.



9 of the top 14 shot blockers from last season averaged double digit rebounding numbers (this includes Davis who didn't qualify statistically). Mitchell Robinson averaged the same number of rebounds per game as KP did in 17-18 in just 20 minutes per game compared to KP's 32 minutes in 17-18. You can add Robinson to the list of shot blockers who will average double digit rebounds. Why can't Mavs fans accept the obvious about KP and his rebounding? Again, he can easily improve this, but so far he's been a poor rebounder and blocking shots has nothing to do with it.

8 of the top 15 shot blockers in the league last year averaged double digits in rebounding, there were 4 guys who either didn't get starters minutes or came off the bench that would have averaged double digits in rebounding if they played starters minutes, 2 of them were rookies (Mitchell Robinson & Jaren Jackson Jr. )

KP has been a terrible rebounder and it's not because he's a shot blocker either, since more than half of the top shot blockers are also rebounding machines.

If an NBA athlete pushing a woman illicits an "And?" from you then there's really nothing I can say to you. You and I just have differen't standards for appropriate behavior.

Swapping KP out for Dennis Smith Jr. is just about the most Knicksian thing the Knicks have ever done.

I mean you could read the stuff about that night in old threads here but since you wont do that and just keep writing about a bar fight etc thats what happened that night:
- KP was with friends in a club in his small hometown
- group of city known russian thugs (and known for assaults and stabbings) got denied to enter because the bouncers knew who they were
- russian thugs are pissed about that and in that moment KP and his crew are leaving the club. the thugs recognize KP and jump him and his crew to blow off steam/anger.
- there was no altercation before, no contact between the groups etc. Thats called assault on KP and his friends.

The video starts after the assault. KP is injuried and pissed and wanna go after the attackers but get held back by a female in his group. Thats that then. But of course you are going to refer it as "KP in a bar fight" or "KP pushing a woman" in the future.

Source? You spoke to him? Is that what Law enforcement said? Or What KP said. And he still pushed a women in pursuit of what looked like extending that altercation.

No, my opinion wouldn't change. Why are you shoving a woman? So you can fight a bunch of Russian thugs...who, according to a Realgm poster, jumped him to "blow off steam".

Keep reading some random posts.Clubs bouncer was target for does thungs,because he didnt let them in.KP's friends where helping him out.Then one of them got K.O'd and KP stepped in to help.He should do nothing and watch how some1 allmost kills his friend?
Yes that girl wanted to stop KP,but GIRL!!! shouldnt do that,because she will get hit more often then not.

Locals/eyewitnesses on social media
then locals quoting local newspaper/police
then Mavs/Dallas journalists confirming this
then the Mavs investigation confirming this (KP victim, wrong time/wrong place)

but again, your last sentence shows that you dont care about what happened, you care about what you wanna see. So i wont waste more time here, have a nice life and enjoy Dolan. Looks like you deserve him

Jesus, wtf is wrong with NYK fanbase? Yeah, he is a weak rebounder, so what? That was the case why you weren't happy with him? I don't get it- where is your problem? He's in Dallas - relax and enjoy it :D Say hi to Dolan, really nice man indeed.

KP's a 7'3 version of Tim Hardaway Jr who can block shots and dunk because he's 7'3

Two most overrated players in the league reside in DAL.

I really like Luca a lot and think he's going to be really good for a long time but the way people talk about him like he is already a superstar makes him overrated. He's just not on that level after one season

And KP is on the same level, another guy I like but he's not the superstar he's made out to be. Probably still have a bad taste in my mouth from all the Knicks fans hyping him up.

For now they both have a ton to prove before we start calling them superstars.

All I see are words with no links. And if someone pushes a woman that aggressively is he doing it to go talk to the people who just jumped him or is he looking for an......altercation.

It's nice that you all are so invested in him without him playing a game for you guys.

People rate his potential after his past three years of professional basketball, not his past NBA season. But yeah, of course there are people thinking that basketball outside of the NBA doesnt count.
