Also, this was one of the best episodes of JJ's podcast. CJ McCollum is a very smart guy.

Realizing that Marshall Plumlee's 10 inch arms render him useless in the post, the Knicks will attempt to re-engineer him into Kelly Olynyk

Knicks had 49 points. How can a collection of aspiring pro players be that bad?

Christian Laettner is living up to all the stupid basketball player stereotypes, is facing bankruptcy after making over $60 million during his NBA career.

He'd make a good presidential candidate.

Ingram receiving lots of praise early. Duke even gets some runoff praise.

As good as JJ's other guests have been, I would happily just listen to him and Wojnarowski talk forever.

Seriously? I had just gotten over hating him for 2014 too. Was about to become a Bucks fan.

 

[torontoduke]

He made a pro-Spartan comment or two in the SI feature article back in 2014. I don't understand why he would say that to potential recruits.

 

[rome8180]

He went to Duke, was allowed to play no defense, and went #2 in the draft. Why not promote us?

 

[rome8180]

Oh, I forgot. He had the highest usage of any freshman we've ever had, right?

Fuck him.

 

[skins]

I don't understand why he'd go out of his way to say that unless he's just desperate to appear likable to another fanbase.

 

[best4heisman]

I don't like Jabari enough in the first place to be mad about those comments. I'd be pretty furious if I was K, though. Kid really just did whatever the hell he wanted in his year at Duke.

 

[rome8180]

IRC, he also stated that when he picked Duke one of the reasons was not wanting to cut into Adreian Payne's playing time.
