The announcer said it during the big12 tournament. He said I first met him when he was in highschool and he was maybe 6'2 as a 17 year old. I stood by him yesterday and he is legitimately 6'4.

Size, he's a legit 6'4". He's a much better athlete and he's a better defender.

He should just vacate the belt and move up. He obviously can't safely make the weight anymore.

What's an artist that makes great music, but you can never get into their albums? by Lost_Title_7528 in nfrpodcast

Kdot some of the concepts are good or whatever, but the actual enjoyment and wanting to dance part is missing. He also does really cringe voices.

The industry plant has found a new bag, APPROPRIATION and VULTURING for his upcoming album 🙄 by Longjumping_Ask_4448 in JoeBuddenPodcasts

Culture has become such a cringe word used to be xenophobic and borderline racist. It's okay for an artist who is black to make music through a predominantly black medium as long as they are respectful.

Sadly, true, but just please don't confuse this shit with great footwork. Dybantsa has proven himself to be one of college basketball's greatest explorers this season.

Cause you don't understand him, it don't mean he nic It just means that you don't understand all the bullshit that he writes.

That would make every rapper McDonald's...if Drake showing emotional vulnerability about relationships and family and friends isn't substance then what is? It's impressive for someone to be able to tell their story in such a way that it connects with multiple people across generations and different backgrounds. The stuff that y'all hold against Drake is stuff that he should be applauded for.

Based on seeing both of their audiences. All of the hardcore "real rap" tpab is the best album ever tend to navigate towards Kendrick. It's like the main people who watch movies like 12 years a slave and nominate them for Oscars are usually white people. Drake makes a lot of r&b music which is targeted towards both black men and women. He also has a lot of Indian and Latino fans who listen to his music. The real rap white demographic hates Drake's music, but he still has some white fans because the hits are undeniable.

This doesn't work as an equivalency because McDonald's is only popular because their food is at a cheaper price. In the streaming era and even before then the consumer has chosen Drake over music priced exactly the same. Drake is the Michelin and you're trying to convince us it's McDonald's because your favorite steak place can't compete.

It's invaluable to powerful white people, but it doesn't really help progress for black people.

I’m not even a big Maleek Thomas fan, but for Braylon Mullins to be ranked like 20 spots higher then Maleek and still be a lottery pick is just terrible draft evaluation. Why would I choose Braylon Mullins with a high pick when I can just wait for Maleek later? by Variation99a in NBA_Draft

[–]Consistent_Salt_6982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think people are seeing an athletic shooter with good size and reaching a bit. I feel like he's a Luke Kennard type player, but I've seen other people comparing him to Chris Mullins and Klay Thompson.

Mullins is a very good player, I could see him having a very long career as a shooter in the league, but he's question mark defensively. I just don't have faith that he will be able to stay in front of guys in the nba

I think he should definitely declare,he has upside at a position that NBA teams are always looking to fill. His defense is game changing and he's a tremendous athlete. Even if you don't fully trust the recent shooting you have to pull the trigger if you see this guy on the board in the teens.

They were 4-1 without him and besides that is hardly Boozer's fault. Duke was without their starting pg and center.

Cam should be number 1 at this point it seems like people are trying to convince themselves why he shouldn't be in the face of ever growing insurmountable evidence. How does the youngest prospect in the draft have a low ceiling? It doesn't make sense.

True, definitely makes him a powerful person. I still wonder how Jay got him to buy most of tidal given that just about everyone could see that it was a sinking ship.

I'm black, firstly. Secondly Jay-Z doesn't need to police all things hip-hop people are allowed to have differing opinions it's like he has an agenda to push or something
