For example, Lebron saying Shabazz Napier was his favorite pick in the 2014 draft.

I once proclaimed The Simmons & Embid duo was going to be more dangerous than Stockton & Malone.

The football comments pre-draft are harmless jokes in hindsight, but at the time our fanbase had serious Wiggins PTSD and were nervous about the prospect of drafting another dude with a low motor

Crazy that looking back now we can see how those comments were just part of his personality/humor, but at the time people really were going crazy over whether or not he “cared” about basketball.

I definitely think he’s one of the few NBA players that could’ve actually been a star in the NFL too though. Freak ass athlete

It takes more than just being a freak athlete to do well in the nfl though. Like how many players his size do well in the nfl? Not many unless you’re a QB or on the line, which I doubt he’d be either?

Cmon now, Maple Jordan doesn’t have a low motor. It’s just that maple syrup has a higher viscosity.
