Remember this game like it was yesterday.

Also found it incredible how Linas Klezia became known as a shooter in the NBA when he was a big man and played almost exclusively in the post at Montrose.

Hibbert's growth as a player has really impressed me, coming out of G-Town I thought he was destined to fall out the league in 5 years.
 
I thought Hibbert would be out of the league already because of injuries on some Oden steez.

Kobe and Iguodala work out with eachother every summer.
 
Iggy working with Kobe every offseason but hasn't picked up any offensive game this whole time :lol:

He's a great defender and passer though.

Kobe and Mcgrady used to train in the summer all the time in LA

Also, that dude Tim Grover, who used to train MJ, has a facility that a lot of players go to in the summer. I remember reading that a bunch of guys from different teams train at Grover's place together.
 
I'm wondering which players in the past have worked out in the summer together like Victor was referring to, not currently, as I was saying in my initial post.

It's already apparent that a lot of current players workout together.

Yup, it's normally the hottest around the period right when the college season is over and dudes are trying to prepare for the draft.
 
Speaking of the draft, which rookies are y'all most excited to see?

I can't wait to see Bennett justify the number one pick, he's going to be special on offense needs to improve his conditioning and his defense but he's a freak athlete and already has 3 point range. He seems undersized at the 4 at 6'7 but he has a 7'1 wingspan and is as quick as any 4 but he has to want to play D.

Also can't wait to see Oladipo, I love his mindset/approach to the game. He's going to be a very great defender regardless and has a lot of potential on offense with his developing jumper and his athleticism.

Olynyk is a guy I'm also interested in. Enjoyed watching him get buckets at Gonzaga last year, very skilled and surprisingly quick. He already has great range on his jumper, great footwork in the paint and can even put the ball on the floor. He's going to get ate up on D sometimes but he still has potential there as well
 
Everyone says this was a weak draft class, but I feel like a lot of these rookies will prove they can play. Especially since a handful (Cody, Ben, Olynyk, Oladipo, Burke, etc) have a chance to start right away.
 
"Getting buckets" :lol: Sorry, not enough, go look up that money the Timberwolves gave him and rethink if 40% getting buckets/60% chucking is worth that.

Your best player playing GM..... puts everyone in a tough position.

Flip Saunders ain't your best player silly......

Budinger is.
 
I'm convinced Will Conroy would've been the greatest of all-time had he been given a legitimate shot.

Kobe is the greatest of the decade. Spanning from 2000 - 2013.

In terms what rings? Lebron has been the best player in the WORLD since 2008......

LeBreezy hasn't been the best since 08'. Maybe 2010 if anything.

Y'all need to go to sleep... No one should be up now.

Kobe has done a lot for this generation as for has playing giving us 81 pts, blazers game and the stretch of 40+ points. He dominated his generation of players playing at the sg which for a while was the marque position in the NBA. It will be awhile (maybe never) for a player like Kobe to come around. Harden may bless us as the next coming but I doubt it.

Tell em', Boss.

2013 draft class stunk. Definitely up there wit' the weakest draft of all-time.

I wanna see Oklynk cause ima a C's fanboy. I wanna see Trey Burke, Anthony Bennett and Nerlens Noel. Oh and Ben Macklemore. But if I hada choose one, probably Anthony Bennett.

If anything, his attitude was detrimental. Dude is the cockiest MFer in the history of everything. I've been watching him since I went to middle school with him. I know how he is. He strolls up into the Jamal Crawford Pro-am like he owns the place. Workin' refs like he has some pedigree. He's a clown. Sorry.
