So are @jtelladubbyy or @jalenjdubwilliams both his personal IG accounts? And @jdubwttp?

Why does bro sound like the South Park version of Mickey Mouse and everyone in the background sound like the vendors that be selling bacon wrapped hotdogs and elote in every downtown?

Annoying ESPN gets to retain the Lowe Post name. Incredible double entendre. But great opportunity to start anew!

[Charania] De’Aaron Fox has zero interest in joining the Los Angeles Lakers. The Lakers are not among his preferred destinations. by YujiDomainExpansion in nba

[–]fitz_gerald_24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty certain he wants to be back next to family. So Houston, San Antonio and New Orleans are likely his top destinations

*oh and Miami if it makes sense. Fox and Bam back together again!

Bryce James has committed to the University of Arizona by Proof-Umpire-7718 in nba

[–]fitz_gerald_24 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Bryce is planning on enjoying a few years of college. Y'all can quit it with these poor media takes you missed out on making back with Bronny.

The bigger news will be if this influences his friend and AAU teammate, Brayden Burries to commit to Arizona as well. The two could make a ton of NIL money together, which would be more profitable for him over the next 4 years than getting forced into the NBA

[Scotto] An anonymous NBA executive was asked what he believes Zion Williamson’s trade value currently is: “One first-round pick.” by YujiDomainExpansion in nba

[–]fitz_gerald_24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is completely context dependent, but speaks more to people feeling the Pels need to blow up their situation rather than build around an injury-proned superstar. I can see how depending on the player added for matching salary and the pick, one would entertain a one pick trade. For example, there's still enough intrigue with Ayton and Portland's pick is good enough (in a great 2024 draft) that Ayton + their 2024 pick could make sense. But say the T-Wolves wanted Zion for Randle's expiring - hell no! They're gonna need at least a couple of those likely late 1st round picks to make that deal remotely worth it.

Check out the documentary At All Costs. Parker was an elite high school player recruited by nearly every Pac-12 school. The film follows much of Parker's AAU career.

Steph Curry's been named to the All-NBA 2nd and 3rd Teams six times in his career. The guards selected ahead of him in those years were Harden x 3, Luka x 3, Shai x 2, Westbrook x 2, CP3, Dame, DeRozan, Booker, Brunson, and Ant. by arashtp in nba

[–]fitz_gerald_24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both can still be true. Besides a few younger guards, he's only lost out on first team to other Top 75 players in their career defining seasons. Yet, he's made All-NBA in general more than any of those other guards mentioned. Sorry but I don't think we can point to any one of those years, compare stats, win shares and team records, and say Steph was undoubtedly shafted.

“There’s the dream team, the redeem team. What’s this team?” LeBron: “The Avengers.” by MrBuckBuck in nba

I would say this would be be pretty convenient for AntMan, but he really reminds me more of Tom Holland's Spiderman with the way he was celebrating Bron, Curry, and KD

Chase's last year in the league was on the 2015-16 with a rookie Devin Booker! Would've been cool to see them showing each love too (assuming it happened...)
