Stephen talking about black players money again but never talk about the white boys who getting paid and haven’t played lmaooo the media is a joke. Never once heard this man announce what Gordon Hayward is being paid. Craziest part is that y’all are oblivious too it to.

@Bryant Thompson Yeah right now it’s not even the case, all the 3 guys who didn’t play against Dallas had practice the day before, team just hold them back, they’re ok. BI is in concussion protocol so he might have to pass tests tho
Bryant Thompson
October 27, 2022 at 10:19 am
@AlexandreG yeah I like there team I can see them making some noise in the playoffs like the Mavs and grizzlies did last year
AlexandreG
October 27, 2022 at 10:23 am
@Bryant Thompson Hope so, infinitely deeper than the Mavs too with no lack of star power, it’s a matter of getting a solid defense
Bryant Thompson
October 27, 2022 at 10:31 am
@AlexandreG absolutely and I’m not for sure but I think they still have some extra draft picks too that could be use at the trade deadline to get another stud I would like to see Jordan Clarkson on there team!!!
AlexandreG
October 27, 2022 at 10:38 am
@Bryant Thompson Yeah they got 1st round unprotected pick swap with the Lakers this season but I think they ain’t about to trade that for Jordan Clarkson because things looking too spicy right now 😂

Pelicans need to tell Zion he has to stop jumping so much

A lot of players in danger cause of dunking, like the likes of ja morant

@Suidkant Skollie Zion is a truck compared to ja, he almost injured himself again and land on his side foot
AlexandreG
October 26, 2022 at 2:19 pm
@TheZane03 He landed like he’s supposed to and he’s got way more buttocks mass than Morant to absorb it, besides, that’s a once in a season occurence, he’s probably gonna have 10 falls like that in his career. I assume they should tell him to stop playing basketball too because his ankles and knees are at risk everytime he goes with force for a layup
Bryant Thompson
October 27, 2022 at 9:15 am
@AlexandreG well so did sir Charles and he wasn’t nearly as injured as this guy is not tell him to jump he might as well tell him don’t play basketball again

That wasn’t an AD fragile/clumsy type injury. He was snatched out of the air and thrown onto his back. Has nothing to do with his weight, his fragility, the attention paid or not paid to diet and fitness. Someone else did that injury TO him. Y’all sound stupid.

agree with everything besides the “Someone else did that injury TO him”
No, that was a good defense clean block no malice.
anonymous lakernerd
October 26, 2022 at 3:54 pm
@August No, I agree. Clarkson got all ball. What I mean is that someone else caused that injury to happen; it’s not the result of some kind of flaw in Zion’s body.

I agree, time to start paying opponents to not try to block his shots and take him out of balance.
BTW you would be paraplegic if you fell like that…

Why people compare Zion and Kawhi? Kawhi is in shape, he’s had a bad knee for years. He was better when he was younger. He won a title on one leg. Zion has been oberweight for years.

I love when actual players come and shut down these reporters. It is out of the players hands. It’s the doctors and when players try to force themselves back and team doctors try to force them back when end up with a Kevin Durant situation. Let’s be honest here the nba is a business some of these players are here to do their job and go home and take care of their families.

How about less dunking and more basic basketball? Until now, he could have learn that most of his injuries came from this pointless dunking. Just start playing basic basketball… or go to Globetrotters, there no one will challenge his dunks…
