    They've been blasted twice by 20+ to the heat. Tells me all I need to know.

    I've only watched them play once, and he was pretty good, but I didn't see super star in him.

    Is this typical ESPN media hype trying to make the Knicks relevant again or is he that good?
    He's alright, and played better than anticipated, but lets be real. He's avg 13 and 9. I think the reason he gets so much attn i: 1. He's in NY 2. He creates highlights.

    I'd still take him over Griffin or Harden tho.

    I'd take a camel over Griffin or Harden.

    Shaq has said it was the fans in the periphery that made him lose focus.

    Sixers going to beat the Lakers it appears

    He has all the tools, and is only 20. That's the big thing. Looks better than a lot of guys who have become superstars looked at his age coming to America.

    I haven't seen him.....you are making me think of Darko. How is he different?

    I've watched a few games. He's definitely a lot more confident than I thought he'd be coming into the league. He's rail thin and from Europe, I expected him to get pushed around immediately, but he plays tough.

    Hes good.

    Kobe took 17 3's tonight and was a -21. no other laker was a double digit in the +/-

    Not sure, really? Dario couldn't even crack the rotation to ever get a read on him.

    Kristaps os is very good. Not projecting him as a HoFer like ESPN, but j have no issues projecting him as a future AS.

    He's been fucking abysmal shooting the ball this year.
  • Ironman92
    Read that he went 4/17 shooting 3's and raised his season percentage lol
  • gport_tennis
    From what I've seen, I think KP can be an anchor of a franchise that wins 48+ games every year. Seems to have the right mindset and he has a little bit of nasty in him that you dont always see in the euros. Fundamentally really good and as his body fills out and he continues to improve..watch out.
  • Mulva
    He's already a plus defender. And he's proven he can shoot in Europe. Once his J starts dropping consistently he's gonna be tough.

    Coming back to Harden, following the all star break last season, Harden has been shooting a FG% of below 40%. Just lol

    Vines showing him exerting zero effort on defense have now become a daily thing.

    Is the NBA gonna suspend Okafor after a this new video/fight?

    Petty Pettine would.

    Pettine would send him to the D-League, and sign BJ Mullens to start at Center.

    Okafor skipping the safe route of asking for a trade and just going the more harmful route of acting like an idiot until they have to do something.
  • Midstate01
    So he knocked out two dudes??? That one dude hit the bricks and was cut up pretty badly.
  • Midstate01
    I also lol'd at someone in the background saying, Okafor was one of the best players in the NBA.
  • Automatik
    My favorite part is him attempting to use a fake ID, like no one would fucking know the 7' one and done player from Duke.

    $10 says he gets voted into the all-star game anyway. He's branded his name and that's all you need to the ASG.

    For example, I bet Kobe gets an ASG appearance this year despite being arguably the worst player in the NBA.
