    Kobe: "Damn you forget how tall he is and how tough to shoot over Brandon it is". Errrrr.......KD. Paraphrased.

    This isn't the first time Luke has mentioned Ingram's handles. A 6'9" wing with guard skills? This is going to revolutionize the way the team plays if Ingram is able to bring the ball up and initiate the offense himself.

    Maybe a better Ben / next Magic? This one can shoot the damn ball and play defense.



    Still surprised no one in Media picked up on BI saying at the press conference of KD going to GS instead of beating them ..... "Where's his balls .... I'm coming for him"

    Summer League will be very interesting to watch and it will be due to Ingram. Between him and Russell, there is potential for two playmakers on the team. Not to mention Randle being told to push the ball up the floor too.

    Did he really say this? I watched the presser but don't recall this. I was a little vaporlocked though so I might have missed it.

    Randle grew up wanting to be Kobe too, not Zach Randolph. Careful Ben don't be banging too hard with Julius .... you could get hurt.




    Where are you today Julius? Hopefully shooting a thousand Js in the gym.

    NO!! Just me having fun. But I tell you. Kobe was vocal about being as good or better than MJ in the future. BI's not wired that way with putting ish out there for bulletin board material. But you can tell he's an alpha dog and wants to be at the top of the league's best competing against the best in the NBA.

    So Nance just said Ingram is "the real deal" and now Breshnahan mentioned that as a possible nickname for him...

    - Motivated by Larry's compliment. Will keep grinding.
    - Wants to do everything the coach wants you to do.
    - Goal is to show he belongs, build chemistry, excited to go to USA Select and build chemistry.
    - Goal is to win SL, not trying to win there's no point in playing.
    - Individually: do everything we do well. If you're not making shots, do something else to help.
    - Chemistry starts off the court, hanging out. Talking about life as well as the court.
    - Knew Julius was coming in today. Glad to have him here.
    - Hears a lot about his size, but uses his toughness. Skinniness doesn't matter as long as you can score.
    - Knows his frame gives off an impression of weakness, but game talks.
    - Been able to hide in LA so far. No problems. Knows anonymity won't last forever, but he's still about doing the right things on/off court.
    - Hasn't had a ton of life advice from the guys.
    - Just wants to worry about this team, no drama.
    - Just wants to do the right thing, approach everyone with respect, he's just a regular guy.
    - Of course feels pressure to perform, but wants to play his game. Whatever it takes to win he'll do.
