    Carl Weathers was unreal in that movie. He was Apollo my whole life up until that movie, and now he's Chubbs no matter what he does.

    And a whole new generation will only view him as the guy that’s in Mandalorian

    :Laugh:

    like a newer version of Lando Calrissian. Perfect for the role actually

    Will Smith did a great Muhammad Ali as well I thought.

    Absolutely on fire the first half. Didn’t try much in the 2nd but still contributed, and I didn’t see Melo really scoring on him.

    Kuzma is a stretch 4, he's perfect for today's NBA and fits perfectly next to Bron and AD. Keep him at all costs.

    Nice to have him back. We needed that 3rd guy to soften things up a bit. I just don't want to see AD continue to shrink though. Been a little disappointed how well he just "blends in" far too often.

    I tell you when Kyle is feeling it the repertoire of his offensive options and coordination make him as fun to watch as Ingram blowing up. Tonight against Portland after his two previous good outings really started to show finally the 3rd year improved version of Kyle Kuzma. The skills honed further and the explosive scoring getting polished. Great to see him back. Do not trade this guy.

    He is obviously feeling much better and is therefore more confident. I think he’s back!

    It's interesting that Kuzma has two games in a row at 24 to 25 points and people think he will be a star... and Ingram has gone 34 games averaging 25 and people say things like "it's the wrong kind of scoring" "his analytics are poor" "he's not winning"

    The only reason I'm pointing this out is because Kuzma did look really impressive... and if he does this 30 games in a row... I would think of him as an emerging star especially if he were two years younger. So people should appreciate what Ingram has accomplished even if it's on a poor team.

    Let's hope it continues because he's played like this before and it changes the season for us.

    He’s getting HEALTHY “finally” this season and for 3 games in a row is showing his offensive capabilities again. Who said anything regarding this about him being a star now or more capable of becoming one than Ingram? LOL you holding your judgement on how he’s looked finally again until he does it 30 games in a row.

    We all do appreciate what BI’s going to become.

    Abeer is the only one who hates him. :giggle:

    I'm happy that Kuzma finally showed up.

    It's just interesting how people will love one player at the first sign of success and continue the skepticism for another player who has sustained it for 35 games.

    What Kuzma did last night felt like an all star performance... it was exactly what the doctor ordered.

    Yet when the smoke clears you realize it's no different than what BI averaged for the last 35 games.

    My post wasn't about negating Kuzma's achievement. I simply wanted to put it into context with what BI did 35 times over the last 35 games.

    If you love what Kuzma did, then you should appreciate what BI has done since last all star break.

    This isn't to take anything away from Kuzma... he's our player... but maybe some haters will start show BI respect instead of continually finding reasons to minimize his accomplishments.

    If we get a 20 ppg Kuzma the rest of the year, I feel a lot better about our chances at a title.

    As I said we all do and we’re not happy to lose him. We are happier to have Anthony Davis without waiting until LeBron decides on his next contract or some moving timeline .... to say that.
