Why is D'angelo Russell already overrated?

[outbreak]

Jesus was real and was crucified...Whether or not you believe in Christianity, the Crucifixion of Jesus actually happened...

Most historians think that yes but in my mind there was the actual man he was based on (who wasn't called jesus) and then there's the mythological being who is gods son and still exists. Either way if you draft a guy who's been dead for thousands of years it's still a wasted pick. Maybe they will trade for Len Bias's draft rights?

I don't care about comparing Russell to whatever. I'm not a Christian myself. But it is historical fact that there was a dude named Jesus who was crucified by the Romans which kickstarted Christianity. And I guess technically you're right, Jesus was called "Yeshua" back then.

I don't even know why I am arguing, it just annoys me when people don't believe in facts.

Did you even read my post? I and most historians consider them two different entities now. Yes there was a Jesus who was crucified and a was a gifted preacher who gained a large following but no he was not the son of god and is a not a super powered being. It's a case of a real person morphing in to a myth.

It's the same thing as yes there was a saint named Nicholas but no he did not fly around the world giving out presents and he and santa claus can be treated as two different people.

alpha mentality
high praise from elite names/former/current players
#2 pick
#1 level projections
drafted by the #1 franchise in sports history
players "mesmerized" first day of practice
most confident rookie i've seen since kobe
hes already mastered nash type prime english curved passes before entering th eleague
players say he hits them at exactly the right time on cuts/breaks like no other theyve seen
he hit 90% threes in his audition
hes not an ugly babbling buffoon like okafor
hes charismatic
he vocally said he wants to lead from day one.
he said he'l treat every practice like its the playoffs



the kid can do no wrong so far in life. i see great things coming from him

Salvia.

Me either. Either way branslowski post was stupid .

Did you see Bennett put up 17 points for Canada against Argentina? He was perfect from the floor and is being hyped as winning the game for them. Maybe he will find some confidence and perform well this season. Andrew Nicholson had 24pts 12rbs too

Bennett still sucks. He wont do anything ever in the NBA.

I still hope he becomes a good back up guy. He has the tools to stick around in the league he just needs to find his niche and his role imo. He definitely isn't a top pick, if he were taken in the 10-20 range and could spend a couple years developing outside the spotlight as a bench guy I think he'd have been ok.
