they priced the nba genuine game ball way out of reach of normal people at like $170.

to me they have the opposite effect of what you want. they feel great when you grab it at first or dribble around or shoot a bit.. but as soon as you get sweaty they (depending on the ball) get harder and more slippery. the leather ball is the opposite, feels like a brick when you grab it at first but one game in there's nothing better. and you can use the glass with way more control cos it doesnt grip the glass it's more of a natural bounce off of it.

obv this is all personal pref but i always wanted to play with the ball the pros played with and it always just felt right to me

game leather ball obvs the best xp cant use dem outdoors tho and as we covered they cost way too much
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 13 May 2020 23:59 (three years ago) link
it funny a lot of people dont like the leather ball i think mostly cause theyre not used to them because they never use them because they cost too much

Former PHX HC Earl Watson recently said Jayson Tatum had the best pre-draft workout he’d ever seen for the Suns in 2017. Despite that, Owner Robert Sarver wasn’t interested.Watson claims Sarver preferred Josh Jackson and even said to him “We don’t need another Devin Booker.” 😳 pic.twitter.com/j1MKudCRJD— Hilltop Hoops (@HilltopNBA) May 13, 2020

lil sub plot to this if you game it out theres gotta be someone else ainge was just as happy to take as tatum otherwise he wldnt have traded down
― lag∞n, Thursday, 14 May 2020 00:13 (three years ago) link
Just a thought but having two Devin bookers is actually good
― Spottie, Thursday, 14 May 2020 00:16 (three years ago) link
also they dont even play the same position! maybe its two different size devin bookers which yeah wld be good
― lag∞n, Thursday, 14 May 2020 00:17 (three years ago) link
Better than 1 Devin Booker + 1 g leaguer I think
― Spottie, Thursday, 14 May 2020 00:40 (three years ago) link
im no nba owner but id have to agree with that
― lag∞n, Thursday, 14 May 2020 00:41 (three years ago) link
is devin booker good tho
― k3vin k., Thursday, 14 May 2020 13:30 (three years ago) link
probably not

It’s always hard to judge guys who are as bad at defense as Booker is. Did he get a little better this year?
― Matt Armstrong, Thursday, 14 May 2020 14:14 (three years ago) link
defensively? not rly. tho his offense might be elite enough to make up for it.
― methinks dababy doth bop shit too much (m bison), Thursday, 14 May 2020 14:16 (three years ago) link
i mean i shd say his defensive stats have improved but they're still negative
Yeah in 18-19 he was literally bottom five in defense which is hard to fade
― Matt Armstrong, Thursday, 14 May 2020 15:35 (three years ago) link
he's still young, but he's been in league for 5 years and the suns are still bad, so idk how to measure him. feels like he'd need to be on a balanced team with excellent D around him for to have the freedom to blowtorch on offense.
― methinks dababy doth bop shit too much (m bison), Thursday, 14 May 2020 15:57 (three years ago) link
This is exactly what I tell ppl when they bitch about the leather ball. And they ALL bitch. Except for Mr SemiPro, Cam, who cannot stand the soft Wilsons.

my thoughts too. Booker is 2 guard Melo 2.0.
― A True White Kid that can Jump (Granny Dainger), Thursday, 14 May 2020 16:12 (three years ago) link
basically he needs to be the young upstart on a team of vets basically he needs to go to the spurs in 2016
― methinks dababy doth bop shit too much (m bison), Thursday, 14 May 2020 16:29 (three years ago) link
its why in theory i liked him alongside rubio, oubre and bridges. we just havent seen them play together enough to know if it will work.

I don't think I'll ever get over losing Ricky.he's such an enigma in how in some aspects he's a really amazing and uniquely skilled player and aesthetically pleasing but at the same time ultimately mediocre overall

but really the essence of being a Wolves fan is trying to find things that are fun to watch in the middle of disastrous shitshow after disastrous shitshow and he's really one of the great Wolves to me in that sense
― Blues Guitar Solo Heatmap (Free Download) (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Thursday, 14 May 2020 20:49 (three years ago) link

Ricky Rubio stopped improving at basketball at the age of 14 and somehow this was enough to be a rock solid NBA starter for a decade plus
― Matt Armstrong, Thursday, 14 May 2020 21:57 (three years ago) link
i was just noting that! he has become a slightly better shooter but he has the most consistent production of anyone i've ever seen

LeBron says he seriously considered switching to football during the 2011 lockout and even got a contract offer from Jerry Jones - in writing. So how good could he have been?

constant basketball.....
Told today that if the NBA does resume with all 30 teams at a single-site, game days are likely to look like Summer League. Games would be almost all day long (starting around 12:00 noon ET) until the regular season is complete. Playoffs would follow a more regular schedule.— Keith Smith (@KeithSmithNBA) May 22, 2020
