Honestly, a great article with a lot of nice quotes from Bolden. Seems like he genuinely loves Indonesia and isn't just playing for them due to lack of better options. I like that he's learning the language.

How Marques Bolden Became Joyo, An Indonesian Basketball Sensation

A few years ago, Marques Bolden, currently a two-way center for the Charlotte Hornets, traveled halfway around the world to play for the National Team in Indonesia, a densely populated Southeast Asian archipelago made up of more than 17,000 islands.

“Undrafted in 2019, the now 25-year-old Bolden has bounced around the NBA G League ever since, making 17 scattered appearances for Cleveland, Milwaukee and now the Hornets over the past five years.”

Although not quite as popular as some other sports like soccer, badminton or Pencak silat (martial arts), interest for basketball is rising in Indonesia

Time to start a new running list:

-Indonesian sports culture
-Ass

Lol. That was from the article. I thought it was a hilarious sentence.

Hell yeah!

Dregs of society still making tripping jokes about a guy worth $100M+.

While he's absolutely worth this contract, part of the reasoning behind this for Phoenix is so that they have salary-matching tools under the incredibly stringent new CBA. As a second apron team, they're extremely limited in how they can combine contracts in trades.

I wouldn't be surprised to see him on another team next season if Phoenix fails. KD loves him, but he's one of their only tradeable salaries that's 1) large enough to get something back; 2) fair enough of a contract that other teams will want him.

I would like to see Orlando pursue him instead of Klay Thompson. Makes more sense for their timeline, is a better defender than Klay at this point, and his contract is smaller.

Orlando is awesome fit

If you believe in cycles, yeah, this is the bottom.

They can’t even tell what part of the leg is injured. It’s all the ligaments.

 

[DurhamSon]

So just a cramp I guess? Would help if Ingram and McCollum didn’t play like massive pieces of shit so Zion doesn’t have to put in 40+ minutes

 

[rome8180]

I still believe the Pelican can make history and be the first team to miss the playoffs as a 7-seed. Even with Zion, they can do it.

Praying it's nothing major, but now won't be surprised if he's not available Thursday. Fortunately they're playing the team they've already beaten 5 times this season. But you just KNOW the Kings will somehow pull out the victory and give us another Zion-less playoffs. Sad.

 

[aiw]

It’s major

 

[aiw]

Reevaluated in the coming weeks. Hamstring.

 

[DrKlahn]

Has he played his last game for the Pels?

 

[DrKlahn]

We are 5 Heat or Sixers wins away from Zion to the Knicks getting some real momentum. Probably an awful idea for everybody which is why it should happen.

 

[rome8180]

The Thunder should trade for him
