So what kat went down….wolves wasn’t gonna make no noise out west anyway

[Mask the Embiid]

So what! Kat’s role player ass went down. They weren’t gonna make no noise anyway. Ant edwards is the jayson Tatum of the west….cept with a much much worse supporting cast. The man is simply just “not like that”. We have to start adjusting expectations for these “aau babies”. They don’t have the take over gene. They ain’t winning shit til the 80’s and 90’s babies are out of the league.

Zion
Tatum
Edwards
Ingram
Colby white
Paolo
Garland
Fox
AD

I could keep going, all these dudes lack the takeover gene. The take over gene ended with the 09 draft class. Now everyone wants to be friends with their teammates and for it to be a big bon fire moment on the court… long gone are the Mike’s of the world and the Hakeem’s of the world. We are now in the era of the role player….. this is the “role player era”. Where 1-12 are just a bunch of roleplayers. Just a bunch of scottie pippen azz ngas on court on both teams.


Yeah we might get one player with the takeover gene here and there in a draft. every once in a while like trae young or a Devin Booker, who doesn’t give af about their teammmates “feelings” but more than likely we’re gonna end up with a Tatum….just a role player as the team’s star



The only hope is that aau doesn’t seep into the foreign players like Joel, Luka, Giannis ect ect. So they don’t become “westernized” like this soft azz American jaren Jackson jr role player ass generation


Steph curry is like that
Lebron James is like that
Kevin low iq Durant….is like that
James shrinkie Dinks in the playoffs harden….is like that
Russell Westbrook…..is like that
Dame lillard is like that
Kobe……was like that


Tyrese haliburton…will nevvvvver be “like that”. He will never step on toes to win. He win never kick sand on the bon fire n say fk ur feelings u not getting the ball for the rest of the quarter


It is what it is…..soft as hell! The foreigners are going to run this league…..completely when the ogs retire….just watch….fk aau. How are dudes gonna develope a take over gene when they play on an allstar team every game in highschool…. You suppose to have some teammates who average 3 ppg…. That’s how u learn to takeover…u suppose to have some bums on ur team u can’t give the balll too. You suppose to be playing pretty much 4 on 5 on offense some years…that’s how u learn….




TLDR
Zion Williams is soft as hell! How you shoot 60% from the fkin field and yet u the third option on the team for most nights…..soft! He ain’t like that. The league is just becoming a bunch of mikal bridges

Every kid gets a trophy! That's the problem!

Well Fox did win the clutch award. But yeah some of those guys for sure arent 'that guy.' Certainly AD is not.

But really it mainly comes down to whether you actually make the shots or not. If you're gonna be 15-46 in clutch time like Tatum is this season, you might as well pass the ball. Same with guys like Westbrook and Harden. It doesnt do much good to have a guy "take over" if he's an out of control tazmanian devil or an apathetic tinman. These guys are always failing for a reason, despite whatever 'take over' inclinations they may have.

If youre gonna be "the take over guy" you better have a track record of hitting tough, big moment shots, and also be humble enough to see when a situation requires you to be the decoy and get someone else a better shot.

But not everyone can be LeClutchGod like that.

Well, at least they have an excuse now when the get bounced early.

do they get credit if they don't get bounced early? Never seems to work out that way for Gobert. Upsets aren't good enough when it comes to him for some strange reason

Ant edwards is the jayson Tatum of the west

Tatum made the finals. I think what you meant to say is that Ant is the Embiid of the west.

Edwards better prove that he's really capable of carrying someone who's a bit cumbersome.

See if Towns makes it back first

[Axe]

Oof must've struck a nerve...

[Street Hunger]

The wolves did seem like legit contenders though

[90sgoat]

KAT is for sure not winning anything ever.

Ant is not that guy, but he'd be great with someone like Jokic or in a better developed system. He'd be a good running mate for Wemby too, since Wemby is a good and willing passer.
