LOL I was coming to crack "LBJ ... who?" And to say Julius has to be motivated and Rocky like to train in N. Hollywood. But loved the part about not contract year but for his son and his family is what's driving him. Of course it's about the money but seems like he knows if he's doing all this for the right reasons the money and where he plays will take care of itself. So much attention given to the way he will now move as a finely conditioned and strong athlete. Basketball athleticism. We already saw the increased vertical in the Drew league. Will help D at the rim and rebounding and everywhere else jumping some bit higher you'd expect to help in his game. What if he and Ingram are in competition for most improved player? Really enjoyed listening to the trainer.
I mean, what do you guys think he's going to say? Of course he's doing this for a contract year. No one says that out loud, but c'mon. It happens all the time. We'll see how it all translates on the court. I am still of the opinion that Randle's problems are between the ears and not because his body fat was at 10% as opposed to 5%. Randle was the 7th pick. I know he was our highest pick in a long, long time, but once you get down to that range, the history of the draft shows it's probably going to be a rotational player, not a star. All of them were picked for some reason (Randle's power of strength and athleticism), but 6 other people were picked in front of them that year alone. Here's a list of #7 picks since 2000. Only one is a bonafide star (Curry). Lauri Markkanen Jamal Murray Emmanuel Mudiay Julius Randle Ben McLemore Harrison Barnes Bismack Biyombo Greg Monroe Stephen Curry Eric Gordon Corey Brewer Randy Foye Charlie Villanueva Luol Deng Kirk Hinrich Nene Eddie Griffin Chris Mihm We have three #7 picks on our roster.
Deng was 7th?!? Off with Randle Also, watch out for Markkanen. Kid has a chance to be special (a mix between Dirk and Porzingis).
I really don't understand what this even is. It looks like regular jerseys for the most part. Why is this an event?
didn't they change suppliers? I guess new guys trying to make money back after paying out the wazoo for new sponsorship contract. also special new material. I'll see if I can locate the tweet on it
Amoila wasn't kidding, Randle is ready physically. Not that I ever questioned it or didn't believe it.
Lucky that Nike came to the rescue because those jersey's were really weighing down the guys last season. More dunks coming up! #anothergimmick
creative use of numeric presentation there. i guess "it weighs .000002 ounces less" didn't test well.
