Absolutely agree. He is already an excellent basketball player, who just has a broken shot. Even if shooting never becomes a strength, it wont prevent him from becoming a very good player. He is already good.

Big Val, in your expert opinion, is Fox going to be a bust?
He will have a career like Chauncy Billups IF He gets traded by the Kings within the next two years. If he stays longer they will ruin his career
wtf does that even mean lmao

Brogdon had no business winning the ROTY.....Saric was much better. Ball much higher draft pick and expectations. He'll improve

Not a fan of it. They should let them wear black white or team colors. But any time they want instead of having to match the team like before. Now it's gonna be like soccer where you have a white and red team and some guy is wearing neon green shoes, or fluorescent pink. Looks ridiculous.

Ya that should add a good element to a sport where you can't even tell which teams are on the floor anymore. used to be fun when you turned on a game on a small TV and knew when the Lakers and Spurs were playing. Is it that much to ask for? Orange Jazz jerseys, black atl hawks, Warriors have red in one of their jerseys? WTF is the NBA doing?

Well no one can comment on the shoes because they just lifted the restrictions. lol As for the jerseys? Absolutely. Nike actually sold completely out of the Jazz "City" Jerseys (Orange/Red) pretty early on so people were selling them on eBay for ridiculous amounts of money and the yellow ones were extremely popular as well. I'm sure the same can be said for other teams. People like something different every now and again.

Walt Frazier with a controversial take here regarding a couple current all stars:
https://www.google.com/amp/s/nypost.com/2018/08/30/walt-frazier-delivers-blunt-take-on-durant-and-carmelo-legacies/amp/
What do you guys think? Is he just a bitter old dude, or is there some validity?

Is it really controversal that he says Melo shouldn't have his jersey retired? I completely agree with that. Houston, Starks and King should have their numbers retired before he's even considered.
