This looks like the typical Laker fan skill that gets picked at Staples center.
This is the same as when basketball stars have throw a first pitch and it goes 12 feet. I don't get clowmon on this guy tbh.
He has obviously never played basketball in his life.
I thought at first he was just goofing around acting like Stanley from The Office, but it became clear fast that he was really that bad. I also totally agree that clowning on him is uncalled for and uncool.
Especially a military man. Unfortunately, I'm sure his buddies will let him have it without mercy.

And, TOO, speaking of your wish list item, Caruso, the Warriors hit pay dirt with the 19th pick in Podziemski. Reminds me a lot of Caruso. Every team would love to have a guy like that.
Wait a second. What is this thing... you get to draft players.. for your team?🤯🤯🤯

Yeah, it's a novel thing that some teams do. We used to. Tonight is a good example. A guy we drafted is going into our Ring of Honor. That Booker guy we drafted is pretty good too.

It's just too much from Draymond. He's got this viral video of him choking Rudy Gobert and carrying him all the way across the court in a headlock. That was less than a month ago. Now he's winding up and punching Nurkic in the face. (Does Draymond have a problem with European centers or something?) You can't just let a guy run around hurting people, clearly on purpose, multiple times a season. I think it's good that the league has indefinitely suspended him. He should do some real work on himself before he comes back. Totally unacceptable behavior.
And yet the NBA and the networks prop him up as a voice and example of the league. He is even featured in a Kia commercial during games. Enough already. The guy is a punk.

Beverly needs to join Draymond in a kumbaya session.

Holy shit. Chet was 1 block shy of having a triple-double with blocks as one of the 3 categories. OKC wins on SGA jumper with 0.9 sec left.

Pretty crazy NBA story today. It looks like Anthony Edwards had sex with an Instagram model, then got her pregnant, and pressured her to take a morning-after Plan-B pill. But she leaked their DMs to embarrass him. Now Ant has had to issue an apology.

Makes you nostalgic for the era before social media. This nonsense was always going on, but didn’t have direct evidence of these guys making fools of themselves.

I would take LeBron all day over Beal. Even 100% healthy Beal.
What is smallball? I play basketball. I'm not a regular big man. I can switch from the center to the guards. The game is evolving. I'd be dominAyton if the WNBA would let me in. - Ayton

You'd take the 2nd greatest player of all time over Bradley Beal? Tell me more! :)

I'd take Mikal Bridges all day over prime Beal.

No, Mikal is the only player in NBA history. Everybody knows that!

I'd rather have a look at Lofton Jr. than Maledon or Bol Bol.

I never watched Beal's game before he came here. I never realized that he played so spasticly; his game is designed for him to get hurt.
I don't see where anyone sees a similarity to Booker's game

I wonder if any of the schools and organizations Chance Comanche passed through picked up on him being crazy.
