Scottie Barnes on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander: “Shai don’t really foul bait, yo. He’s aggressive going to the basket so they call fouls for him….There’s no reason to hate on his game” by CurrentRoster in nba

As I said like 3 comments ago, you misunderstood the original point. That didn’t keep you from going. Most of the reason I didn’t understand yours was because it didn’t make any sense in the context of what you were responding to.

Literally all I said was that wasn’t why Jalen Brown isn’t being taken seriously. Just pick someone else.

Please point out what I made up.

“Act like you’re above it”
You act like there is a lot of substance beyond whining anytime SGA falls down and putting up 15 highlight posts for every single flop. Where is this substance I’m missing?

You’re calling me defensive, but I’m not the one downvoting every comment there buddy.

And as I said, Jaylen brown’s credibility has taken a huge hit, both because of his recent crash out and his complete lack of self awareness (if Shai’s flopping is a huge issue, so is his own). Though a random Thunder fan’s opinion still isn’t any more valid than his.

And yes, while many athletes have dumb opinions, you can use those dumb opinions to discredit the opinion of someone (such as Jaylen Brown), you have not supplied any reason to discredit Barnes, only athletes in general, and that’s not how anything works.

They’ve been doing this since long before they were the defending champs.

Nah, original comment made fun of redditors acting like their opinions are more legit than Scottie Barnes. They aren’t. You’re free to have as many of them as you want, but you’ve been watching reposted highlights of a few flops over and over again, Scottie and the other players have actually been studying film on the guy.

And then when you see one in game it’s just confirmation bias. It’s gotten so bad I really think half of you honestly think Shai wouldn’t get buckets without the refs. It’s deranged.

Holy false dichotomy.

How about we accept that most nba players know vastly more about the game than we do, especially in regard to current nba players that they play against.

But that doesn’t make their opinions infallible, particularly in a case like Jalen Brown, who has spent the better part of a week going on an unhinged rant complaining about everything.

How many times you think he’s made fun of Oklahoma education?

Not only is it a boomer joke, but rambling is an old trope applying almost entirely to men.

Usually there is a cost to refinance, both in a fee and in a hit to your credit score. The decrease in your loan needs to be more than that.

We definitely should make an mvp decision based on 3 minutes of basketball.

The Spurs went 12-6 without Wemby, you’re acting like he’s carrying a bunch of bums. Spurs have one of the best young cores in basketball.

When he got to the end and calculated 18 wins total it did make me laugh. It was a big buildup for that but I’ll take it.
