NBA Thread

I love seeing Josh Richardson play so well in the league. I could not understand why he wasn't getting more love in the draft. I do not think Vols have an nba guy on their team right now so we need Josh to carry the torch for a while.

Lonzo Ball's had 1 hell of a bad run the last 6 games or so but tonight he became the youngest NBA player ever to record a triple double.

Meh!

Just stopping by to remind you that the Thunder will never win a title with Carmelo Anthony on the roster.

He's shooting a solid .373 in his last 5 and he recorded his first double-double last night. He's not a 4. He's a slow 3.

Terrible fit for this team.

Careful out on that limb, Reign!!!

Good, hope they keep on that path. Fuck OKC

Watched Philly last night for the first time this season. Looked real good, but it was against the Lakers.

A solid 46/15/7 with 7 blocks for Embiid.

And Ben Simmons just needs to develop a competent jumper, and he'll be an all timer.

KD:

He was enjoying being just a member of a team, rather than the face of it. “Steph Curry is the face of the franchise, and that helps me out, because I don't have to,” he said. “I don't want to have to be the leader. I'm not a leader. I'm bad at saying, ‘Stand behind me and follow me.’

Get him!!!

[nick]

poor guys gonna get roasted for this honesty

[DRiccio21]

it says more about whoever is roasting him than it does about him.

the literal stupidity of having an issue with that comment is beyond comprehension.

he was a 'leader' in every sense of the word last year in the playoffs/finals. he performs at the absolute highest level. labels are soooo destructive and ruin everything.

I was wondering what was wrong with what was said. Who cares if he doesn't want to be the leader. His play alone sets the example for others to follow. Not everyone is born to lead, but if you aren't you need to know how to follow. Can't have 12 chiefs and no Indians and still be successful

[shel311]

Not to argue semantics, but I don't think great play is necessarily an example of being a good leader. But the work ethic and/or doing anything asked of you is.

My case study for this is Shaq. One of the best to ever do it, not at all a leader IMO. Not even close.

[packsyd2284]

Plus I rather a guy let you know he doesn't feel comfortable leading than a fake/phony leader. Those are the worst, played with a few of them growing up.

[GeorgesGoons]

I guess I see leadership differently after 21 years in the army. Leading by example is extremely effective, if he puts in 100% at practice and challenges people then that is leadership (even if he isn't vocal about it)

The quote I got was condensed. When I found the entire quote, KD doe mention that he leads by example.
