I could see it just fine. It’s pretty laughable.
I mean I think even Jeremy would agree that he shouldn't be saying stuff like that. That's not his game. He's a finesse guy. Sure, I guess it's technically possible to dominate a game with big stats and high percentages but domination is usually associated with physicality which is not his game. He's once again setting himself up for failure.
I don’t care what he says. But ask the Pistons if they felt dominated by him last season. Let’s see what Ayton does this season. It doesn’t have to be about physicality. Nikola Jokic is not the most athletic or physical big, but would you say he doesn’t dominate?

Please just stop.
The dude doesn’t dominate in any respect of the word. Not stats, not physicality, not effort. Nothing.
I know you will point out the 4 games he did last, but they are the outliers. Not the norm.
Enough is enough.

As always, anything I say gets taken out of context.
I was just using that as an example to counter Superbone's contention that you can't "dominate" without "physicality."

Not surprised…. He’s still blaming everyone else instead of looking in the mirror.
Unless…. They were the ones who wanted him gone. I mean could you imagine practicing with a guy who calls himself dominayton when they’ve accomplished far more?

Blazers have a nice athletic lineup of young hungry guys who each want to hang 20 a game now that Dame is gone. Only way they win is if they play unselfishly for one another. It’ll be interesting to see how Ayton responds.

Ayton just unfollowed Book and KD. They still follow him.
That is just sad, man.

Lol. Love it. NBA drama that ends up played out on the court is the best. I doubt Book or KD would think twice about it, but enjoy roasting him on the court. Ayton has a thin skin.
