In a separate thread Briggs bought up the subjects of said player and good discussion back and forth.
Crush referenced Mr TripleThreat whom I think has departed us. If I recall, Triple alluded to him getting quite sick months ago and would not be seeing a recovery. I hope I am wrong. Rarely do I root for a rabid toxic misogynist such as he but he did have a flair.
Briggs, this has no bearing on your discussion but perhaps whether we agree or not we can at the very least admire the art of this post:
About 12 percent of the entire male adult population in the United States is 6 feet tall or over. And this is ALL AGE RANGES. The average male height in the US is about 5'8. When you go 6'5 and over, the numbers just disappear. We are talking a tiny fraction of the population. Then there are the athleticism requirements. You can't just be big, you also have to be healthy and coordinated and have speed rare for that size.
Based on the "height dependency" the NBA virtually requires, your assertion that there is talent surplus makes no sense. If there was a talent surplus, the draft would be longer than 2 rounds. More teams would be competitive far more quickly. Many veteran players would have much shorter careers because they would be cycled out by superior and younger and cheaper talent ( Not just taking about a Jason Kidd type, but there's a reason guys like Tony Massenburg, Terry Cummings and Kevin Willis hung around so long. Sean Marks was an NBA player before a GM and he carved out a decade long career as a pretty lousy player)
As for Christian Wood, he has the raw talent to be an NBA starter and a could have been a high first round pick on that raw talent alone. Except he's seen privately around the league as a psychotic douchebag. Think about that. This is a league full of solid guys, but also criminals, rapists, thieves, drug dealers, murderers, there are some real scum in the NBA ranks. Not all of this is public, but the NBA is a very small niche community, and even Christian Wood is too much of a douchebag for them. So what does that say? If you told Christian Wood to turn left, he wouldn't turn right. He'd just set fire to an orphanage. Trust me, if one day TMZ had Ntilikina getting stabbed by a Game Of Thrones replica ax, everyone's first thought should be, wow, Christian Wood got promoted.
Even a worthless POS like a Tracy McGrady or a Rip Hamilton or a Baron Davis ( I'm talking a truly toxic worthless POS here) would tell Christian Wood to go take a Xanax.
There is something legit wrong with Christian Wood as a human being. If you want Jeff Hornacek to coach him, you better give Jeff a Glock first.
Body like Tarzan. Mentality like Jane if Jane was a whored out cum guzzling Tinder slut who has crack whore eyes and a really ****ty teeth. And smells bad too. I just added that in for flair. I'm big on flair. Did I mention the crack whore eyes?
If anyone can attest to the Triple’s demise or not please chime in.
