As someone who knew Ms. Los Rios told me recently. “It was either going to be Derrick or someone else. This was her way of getting out of the bind she was in. Derrick just had the most money and treated her pretty crappy, so she figured he would settle for a couple of million, which is pennies for him.”
hopefully Rose learns from his mistakes. Im happy this mess is over
due to his stupid behavior he missed the entire preseason with the knicks so this has hurt the knicks, who really have no room for error since they're two weeks behind everyone else and are projected to win around 40 games.
im happy we have jennings. I wanted him to start from day 1 anyway
i am not a fan of ennings. all his "swag" histrionics are basically fronting because the guy knows he isn't a very good nba player. his minutes should be appropriated by baker sooner or later.
We have no idea what kind of player Baker is going to be when the games count for real. I'm not a fan of Jennings as a starter, but I love him coming off the bench. I think he's perfect in that role right now. Huge spark plug who can get the team and the crowd going. Like John Starks, you may never know what you're going to get out of him from game to game but the dude can play.People forget, as a rookie he pretty much lead the Bucks from 34-48 to 46-36 and playoffs while dropping 55 in the 7th game of his career. I know that was a while ago, but that's the type of talent he can be and he looks physically healthy to me.
the only role ennings should have is as insurance for rose if/when rose gets injured. he's basically a schoolyard player and he can't shoot for shyt. also, ennings can't run the triangle so baker should be running the triangle with the second unit since it seems like we will never see it run properly with melo and rose out there.
Question, do you think Steph Curry is a "schoolyard" player?
he backs up his swag with game, including being a fantastic ball sharer and perhaps the greatest shooter of all time. his ts% is likely close to 60% or higher, while ennings is not doubt below 50%.
Not what I asked you, is he a "school yard" player? Yes or no?
no.
Now you're not being honest. If Jennings game is considered "school yard," Steph's game is actually more "school yard." Just because he's a much better player and more effective than Jennings doesn't mean his style isn't "school yard" (as you call it). And for the record I don't consider either as "school yard" "street" or whatever tag you want to put on it.
i was being honest. curry and his brother were taught the game by dell curry. they play the game the right way because dell curry played the game the right way. dell was a four-year player and his lengthy nba career is testament to his skills. seth played four years of college, steph played three years of college. so while i am sure steph curry can play it straight, street, and everything in between... i can't say the same thing about ennings, who refused to go to college and ended up in china somewhere.
there's a reason why certain players cannot seem to stick with teams, and ennings is already demonstrating why.
Nobody is trying to say Jennings any where close to being as good as Steph. And what difference does it make who Steph's dad is or how long he stayed in school. If you actually saw Dell play his game doesn't resemble's Steph game in any way, shape or form other than they were/are great shooters. The comparison ends there.
I'm talking strictly style of play and all you need is your eyes, not a copy of Steph's birth certificate or his resume. If you think Jennings plays "school yard" basketball then (if you're being honest) Steph plays "school yard" basketball too. Just because you like Steph and dislike Jennings doesn't change that.
