When I was young I had players I liked, and players I didn’t like, all based on how I perceived their personality. Now that I’m older I realize they’re just kids. They’re thrown into the spotlight in their late teens and have to learn about life on the fly. I root for all of them.

Watching a guy like Draymond, who was absolutely fantastic in his prime, just refuse to grow up, is hard to watch. You’d think as your skills diminish you’d start to gain some perspective. Like Russell Westbrook. Not the case for Draymond.

I’ve watched a couple pels games this year. I really want Zion succeed. But the issue is, he is playing his best. There’s a lot of holes in his game, and the defenses know them. He’s totally out of control out there. It’s hard to watch.

We’re rooting for you, young fella. But you should take any advice anyone on the team has to give. It’s not looking good.

Oh no. This gave me Greg Oden vibes bad.

I'm an old guy with a bad hip. I was young-ish when Greg Oden was a sure deal NBL legend. He seemed unstoppable. So big, so athletic, so talented. Bad hip.

That's the same walk. Exactly the same.

I'm rooting for this kid. I still feel bad for Greg Oden. Hopefully times have changed and there's someone that can fix this before it's too late.
