Nipples are anything but a minor detour.
Get yourself a tenrec. They have 36 nipples, you’ll have so much fun!

I had to look up what a tenrec is. I'm surprised it hasn't come up on Jeopardy.

Here’s DA with some nice looking moves against what look to be regular dudes at LA fitness. Seems to be in shape at least (minimal man-boobs).

Just me, not impressed against scrubs…. I’d expect him flying in to swat every shot like it’s me vs, 3 year olds. Still isn’t dunking it when 2” from the rim… and against guys who are all a foot shorter. Sure, I’m happy it isn’t footage of him gaming all day… but still.

It was a 3 nipple deal with a team option for the third nipple.

Could we potentially milk his nipples?

In fairness he milked the suns so he should reciprocate… 😆

The first shot was literally him driving to the rim and dunking it over them.

It was at a basketball development program in the Bahamas. He was their guest for the day--he wasn't going to be blocking the students' shots. :roll:

Lol what took so long to come to aytons defense…. Missed the “DA” signal in the sky?

Never said he can’t dribble…. And you obviously glazed over the reverse he could have dunked. It was meant in jest but these things are triggers for you and I’m sorry. 😂

I think we could agree that DA's recreational play against randos in the Bahamas is not indicative of much of anything about his 2023-24 NBA season performance.

Agreed. But he does seem to be practicing his ball handling like everyone wanted.

Let's hope it translates.

Against kids…. Great job! Kudos! Worth every penny of that max contract!

I'm sure DA can dribble on his own, or against random guys in a pickup game. Being able to hold onto the ball against NBA-caliber defense is what he needs to get better at. It remains to be seen whether he's working on his handles in a way that will help in that regard. I hope he is.
