I loved when he was on the team. He got the prestigious "my boy" title for most of his tenure. Good defender, decent floor spacer. His one weird.trick (tm) is that he is great at getting downpours early and getting a post seal for an easy bucket. He does, however, tend to drift in an out of games, he can be out there.for 10 minutes without you ever noticing him sometimes. And he can go through two week stretches of ineffectiveness like that.
However, when he was healthy and engaged, he usually unlocked the Blazers best lineups.
jake paul is a piece of shit, but he actively trains to be a boxer and takes it pretty seriously
he's winning largely because the only people who are gonna get in a ring with him are people who are like...stunt cast to box him, real boxers likely aren't gonna get in the ring with him because he's, you know, a sideshow attraction, and him winning just means he's gonna keep getting bigger stunt names to come in and get beat because they don't take him seriously

Yeah. He’s not a great boxer but he is trained.
It looked like someone spent 20 minutes showing Nate Robinson how to punch them sent him in the ring.
I don’t know how boxing works money wise, but I saw that the “disclosed” purse for that fight was $600 and it’s like dude...why. You made like 30 million dollars in the nba you don’t need to do this

I’m willing to bet he gets a cut off the PPV money
You might not have known Paul was also legit training and thought it was just a chance to punch him up
Is this the less bad or most bad Paul
This is the one that was looting during protests, not the one filming dead bodies and making suicide jokes.
Pretty sure those are the same Paul, which is also the boxer. His brother has seemingly reformed a bit, though its possible he's being graded on an incredibly generous curve.

Jake Paul is the Covid-19 denier who filmed looters and fought KSI's younger brother Deji on the undercard of Logan Paul v. KSI (and Nate Robinson this time around), Logan Paul is the one who filmed a dead body in Japan and, you know, fought KSI.
They're both shit.

yeah, I don't mean to say Logan Paul isn't terrible, he's just shown the ability to learn when not to be a complete shithead in public at any opportunity

Logan is older. No matter how much of a dipshit you are you usually figure out how and when to control it when you get a little bit older at least.

Uh oh! Watch out everyone! Once Zion gets healthy from his brutal schedule of 24 games in like 20 months, he's going to be a real beast! It's almost like Zion Williamson isn't so much a basketball player, as he is an endless anti-joke from the galactic cosmo-lord of hoop.

At one point it looked like Joel Embiid may never play and now he's pretty fucking good so I think your bizarre obsession with Zion missing a few games so far to be premature.
But Joel Embiid was actually injured. Zion is just, in general, not fit to play basketball.
But mostly, I just hated that the Pelicans would always sit him while saying he's perfectly healthy. I dont like the idea that someone can somehow be too valuable as an asset to actually function as a basketball player. Its just very anti-fan, to me.

Its because the Pelicans organization is always saying shit like "Oh man, look out for Zion now, hes completely rebuilt, he looks amazing, and he's in godlike shape". Then they put him on like 12 minute restriction limit.
The annoyance isn't with Zion the human, or even really Zion the player. Specifically because he isn't so much a basketball player as he is the world's most elaborate sneaker company bait and switch.
I guess whether Washington got fleeced depends on if you think Westbrook is worth whichever 1st round pick they gave up, because Wall is probably not good any more and that plus his contract made him pretty much unmovable, unless part of a trade for another franchise-killing deal like Russ’s

Paul isn’t beating a “real” boxer
I’m willing to bet he gets a cut off the PPV money

I wonder if Reyes Boxing who 'trained' Nate is sad they let Nate wear a mask with their name on it after that showing.

NBA Twitter might be the meanest twitter of all

I don't think the team is did him any favors with how they handled the bubble either. They seem like a terribly run organization.

Wow.
will James Harden stay to play with John Wall and DeMarcus Cousins
On days like today, it really doesn't get any better.
You are not missing anything. Washington seems to think they can actually compete for a championship. They are, unfortunately, sorely mistaken.
Wait - when did Cousins go to the Rockets? Wasn't he with the Lakers?
Houston Wildcats
I find myself VERY pro-4-pt line right now.
