There r no brothers in netherland. U r an invader
get in trouble with the leauge for browsing the internet?
They literally imported them
The sports boards dont even have NBA threads because its to niggerish lmao
I thought u incels wit nothin 2 do would ask questions bout other nba players personal life, and i was prepped 2 giv u answers.
Import invaders 2 keep the masses of whities divided. Wats new?
what team do you play for
"u incels" "breeding har har" No you got nothing better to do because your life sucks and you wish you were even close to being a draft bust
>K
2 b honest, i am losing interest in the game. Its the same old everyday, and practices r just cruel.
Which players do you know of that also browse Yea Forums? Excluding yourself that is.
How did you feel when they first picked u up
I never talk bout Yea Forums. NBA players r political as fuck these days. It all began in 2015 when most of my peers began tryna stand up for shit. I dont want stupid drama in my life

Which player that you've interacted with is the most annoying person in bringing up polticized topics?
My strategy has always been 2 go alone 2 a sports bar where i think the guys there will know me. When they crowd around me for autographs, chicks notice even tho they no nothin bout basketball. Chicks love men who can command respect from other men...from there, its easy pickings.
Well put
Chris paul. Hes not annoying necessarily. The dude is just goddam political. From wat i heard from his teammates, he a snake
Why are you trying so hard to mimic a stereotypical african-american slang in a way that's highly suspicious
How much money do you make exactly
Lmao. Its how i text. I dun talk wit slangs tho. Bad for public image
Cant say. That info can b easily back tracked to find my identity
Have you met any celebrities like drake?
Lol. Yes. I fuked a few 2.
What are your political stances, being that other players are talking politics constantly and you browse /pol/?
East coast team or west coast team?
Starter or bench?
College?
You didn't fuck my Tay Tay did you?
I think they r useful morons 4 the jews. I finished college and took a lot of history classes. Reality is always nuanced. Any ideology paints reality as black and white, hence wrong. There r a lot of jews in the nba world, whether they r owners, business managers or lawyers. Being around jews so much affects my peers opinions...turnin em left leaning and self righteous
Nah nigga. Paedophilia is for whities
No personal info or clues man. Cant risk it
which ones did you fuck
Beatles or rolling Stones
If i told u, u would think im lying
Go for it
Hey juuude. Dont make it baad
Have you ever been on TV or anything besides the games
we think you're lying anyway fool just tell us
MBB
Yes. Not saying which show tho
nope. nope nope nope.
Whats mbb?
Can you grow a full beard ?
(OP)
When are you or any other players going to reach out to Delonte West to get him some help?
instagram.com
Lol. Yea
Stephen a Smith said the average NBA player only keeps about $.27 for every dollar contractually given to nba players....is this true?
Yea. 1 of my boy gave him 50k a while back. West has problems hes not committed 2 solving. No money can help a self destructive person
Probs lower. Wit exception for sum of the absolute elites,most players have leeches draping off of them.
James Harden confirmed
what do you make most of your money off of then?
After 50% taxes, 10% to their agents, and friends and family, he's not wrong
Jesus Christ, why tf do u even bother playing in the nba is everyone around u makes money and not u??? I hate people that feel entitled to your success when they put in 0 of the work
So you're not Curry
U would b amazed at the number of sycophants surrounding every1 of us
I got good peeps around me. I have family in law and accounting, so im aight. But 1 of my friend in the league told me he only has around 400k in his bank despite making over 5 mil for that year
A significant percentage is still my salary, but endorsement here and there, or going 2 special events where im paid 2 show up
Give us a JUICY story that hasnt been leaked
What was Demarcus Cousins like in the locker room? Was he an asshole?
You're definitely right about that. "You can lead a horse to water, yet you can't make them drink."
Which other players that haven't been as publicized have detrimental, self-destructive drug habits that aren't as publicized?
This question is about both former and current players. Lamar Odom is too easy of an option.
CJ MCCOLLUM
What do I win? I'll accept a few tickets, that's all.
Good luck this coming season, friend.
Never had cousins as a teammate, but he always rub ppl the wrong way on the court. He acts like hes this generations lebron james even tho his performance is subpar these days. I never thought he was that talented. Just a big body with mediocre shooting abilities
I'm retarded for typing "as publicized" twice.
Not sure if i should give out names, but a lot of players abuse drugs. Most athletes do nowadays. Competiton is intense as fuck at all times, so u have 2 keep grindin 2 stay afloat. The body and mind need breaks. I am a pot head myself
Eh im a kings fan and watched evert game he played for the kings. Dude was talented as fuck. He was genuinely one the most skilled big men in recent nba history. But with that being said, yeah, he let his emotions fuck him over constantly. I watched it time and time again.
Not sad that he's injured.
To clarify, your (You) is declaring that DeMarcus Cousins has substance issues, correct?
Wat talent does he have that cant be taken away if he werent built like a goddam wall. Lol. Hes not as dominant as shaq, and does not possess finesse like dirk. Hes an overhyped big body. I never liked him. Remind me of those bullies in elementary school who r abused at home so they take it out on every1 around them
No
For example, now hes injured and cant just man handle the defence, how has he fared in the league?
Oh please. The dude was fucking dominant with the kings. Likeni said, I watched all his games.
Yeah he wasnt as big as shaq or as nimble as dirk, but he was in between both if them. He could hit jumpers, pass, rebound, score, and he did it with all the defense locked in on him.
Dirk, shaq, kobe, james, harden...for those type of genuine elites, as long as the injury does not cause excruiting pain, they can still put up solid buckets game in game out. Whileas cousins...well...u tell me his stats for last year. Lol
Had already typed out before your response. Damned laggy connection.
Who would you say is the teammate / player with the worst attitude you've played with?
Also, who was the friendliest / cooperative teammate / player you've shared the court with?
Lol what kinda question is that? He suffers 2 debilitating injuries and you're like "hmmmm he aint so good now aint he? CHECKMATE"
Thats like if MJ suffered 2 knee injuries and now he cant drive or play well anymore, so you go "yuuup he trash"
I enjoy playin with vince a lot. Hes like that kind, chill, and experienced uncle u have at family gatherings. Dun get me wrong, vc will still slit ur throat in a game to win, but he just makes the game more enjoyable...some other older players seem to have a chip on their shoulder. They want 2 prove they r still good and can compete and have no respect for the younger players whatsoever. Kg comes 2 mind. Those guys r just shit 2 play with. U dun want 2 fight them cuz its disrespectful but goddam, they just elbow and commit subtle fouls all day.
If mj had both knees i jured, as long as hes not in pain at all times, he can still give u 20+ off jump shooting. My point is cousins is an overhyped big man. His skill set is limited 2 his size.
He wasnt that gifted man. If he were,hed still be an asset for any team that take him. Hes a bench warmer nowadays and wit that assault case, probs have 2 go overseas soon. Lol
Holy shit you're a fucking retard. No shit he was good because his size but also his talent. Plenty of dudes are big inbthe NBA. Thats like saying shaq was only good because his size.
Actually a good guess, late bloomer and looked like Urkel in his younger days so you know he's got self esteem issues
Hes cool dude. Not him tho
>based octoroon detected
Good for you. Fuck the sheep
How many athletes can stay relevant after they've suffered 2 major injuries 2 years in a row?
>I enjoy playin with vince a lot
So a current teammate of Vinsanity
Cousins was not as dominant and not as nimble. Overated big man.
Lebron’s mom’s pussy fucks men up.
Vast majority cant. But u said he was at one point the best center in the leagues, and im just sayin...he wasnt. He was top 5 percentile in his prime
With this upcoming season, if you were to receive an award (such as DPOY, Sixth Man, Most Improved Player, NBA All Star, etc.), which one would you see yourself getting based on play style, role on the court, and what you're striving to improve on in your individual game?
Probs. Lol
Is Dame cool? He seems like a nice guy in interviews and does a lot of shit for the town. It seems clear he has smart people around him.
And i agree, i've met CJ and he was pretty darn nice.
Lol. I was gon answer this question, but if i did, it would give away 2 much. Sorry man. Quite frankly, i have never won individual awards for my performance. I consider myself an above average player
In 2016 name to me centers that were better.
I'll be waiting.
Solid dude. Keeps his political opinions 2 himself.
I always thought anthony davis was better that year. Cousins played on a team that needed him 2 score
Wit that said, i never got 2 no him much.
Im just tryna stay relevant in the league man. Lol
Especially after silver got banned from nba...now if u hold an ounce of right wing conservative ideas, ur career prospects are compromised. Shit feels like what i read about during the communist days. Lol
It's all good, bruh. I understand that you have a reputation and brand to protect, as there's a wrongfully negative stigma about Yea Forums, alomg with you being candid about your personal views.
Which team (excluding the one you're presently on and others you've been on in the past) would you rather be on at the moment, due to wanting a better contract, location, or chance to win an NBA Championship?
you really like basketball, huh?
OPs location is Irvine and he's weird. It's definitely Kobe
I want to roll with the nets. Kd and kyrie all day. But im not at a position in my career 2 demand a trade and go 2 any team i pick.
I wish man. Kobe was my hero growing up
Its a fun sport for hobby. For career, shit fucks u up every direction...including sideways.
I definitely am quite a big NBA fan, as I have been since 2003 when I began paying attention. I'm primarily a Lakers fan, and Kobe was my hero as well, just like OP stated here .
Who's been the toughest player you've had to guard that you can remember?
Kd. 7 footer with the agility of a 6 3
YOU JUST OUTED YOURSELF KEVIN
Give me money plz, u got plenty
Lol. Good 1.
Nah nigga. Money 4 escorts only
(OP)
A friend of mine born and raised in L.A. is cousins with DeMar DeRozan, sharing stories about him on occasion. Have you ever gotten to know DeMar at all? Any stories or thoughts about him as a player and overall person?
Are there a lot of down low fat ass niggas in the NBA? I think there are. Doing trannies and shit like that Ball kid that got caught, right?
Never got 2 no him personally. But on the court, hes a good player without a lot of fuss.
Damn u greedy, it's true what they say money don't make good people
Is Detroit a undesirable city for players?
Hell nah. Lol
*gay not fat
Stay greedy. Stay rich
Yell out PEPE in your first match
Did you grow up with other NBA players?
I know of q through grapevine
We could use some help lol
Imma put it in one of my answers during press
Yes. 1 is at golden state.
Of 1
I cant give name because i dun wanna get sued for libel.
Top 5 favorite cities?
LA, Chicago, New york, toronto, and okc...bigger the market, the better
Which player have you wanted to dunk on the most, either out of having friendly competition, or due to disliking them quite a bit?
OKC oddly in there......
Do you fuck a new chick pretty much whenever you want to? How many have you fucked?
Lollll. Its not a big city, but their ppl live and die for basketball. It would be like living as royalty 2 live in that city. Granted, the pay wouldnt b 2 great.
Lost count at 50. I prefer white and asian.
Kg...its 2 late 4 dat now. Hes rude and spiteful 4 no reason
And sex gets boring after a while. Girls r drama
Would any other NBA player be able to identify you from what you've said here?
Is Steph as nice as he seems to be?
You have quite a bit against Kevin Garnett based on two of your previous responses. Without doxxing; exposing yourself, can you say if he personally did something against you, on or off the court, to make you feel that way?
I met Larry Nance Jr at a house party when we went to University of Wyoming, is he chill or a shill?
What teams or cities would you never want to play for?
He was an easy going guy, but in the last 2 years, hes becine a bit arrogant. His last years loss ahould humble him tho
Probs 2 or 3. I have told them my strategy 4 getting with girls before.
Hes a chill shill
Are you the nba player who mains tryndamere in lol?
Man. Any team that would take me, i would play for. Its good money for playing a game.
He called me a foul mouthed bitch. Lol
how can he call you foul mouthed and then bitch lmao
if we can backtrack for a second, did you really fuck MBB?
Do players pay attention NBA "sideshows" (i.e. not players, teams, or games)? Particularly things that get a lot of media coverage, such as Adam Silver, team owners, the Players Association, etc.
*do players pay attention TO...
Does Jeremy Lin have a small dick?
Yes, but she's been passed around for a couple years now, and her parents know, but they love the fame
Ofc. Silvers ban was massive news amongst all players. It was symbolically a warning to all individuals associated with the league about having right wing ideas
Ask your mama
Cuz i saidnsomething worse 2 him. Lol
Did you make an AMA before on Yea Forums or was it another nba player?
I never made 1 b4. I usually only lurk pol
I dont know who that even is...so no.
send a pic of your long legs in some pants so we know youre tall and not some 4'9 beta lying
How old are you?
I LITERALLY HAD TO DO 17 CAPTCHAS TO POST THIS PLS ANSWER ME
You've stated that you consider yourself an above average level player in the NBA. With the recent signing of Joe Johnson to the Pistons, Carmelo Anthony status as a free agent has been brought up again.
A.) Do you feel that Carmelo Anthony deserves a spot on a roster?
B.) Where do you see him ending up and could serve as the best fit for him?
C.) Based on your assessment of your own current skills, would you say you're better, worse, or at approximately the same level as him?
Get the Clover app. 1 Captcha per post, and it centralizes all Yea Forums activity.
It was Kevin
good one
A. Yes
B. With his age being a limiting factor, he is still a top tier mid range shooter. Ironically, i think the nets could benefit greatly from having him. Kyrie and kd with melo would stretch the floor space wide. They would be akin to the warriors in the 2pt shooting area. Also, both kyrie and kd benefit from open spaces in the key.
The roster also facilitates quick movement basketball. Deandre jordan, tho old, is an agile center, combined with jarrett allen gives them a tough to defend offense.
The main question is carmelos defence. Even in his prime, melo was an average defender at best. Now hes subpar. The rest of the roster also does not have stand out defenders.
Even then, i just cant see how another team could use melo better...
C. Im more athletic ude to age, but not as skilled in the nuanced aspects of the game.
Under 100
planning to retire soon op? and will you make it known ur a /pol/lite after retirement?
I think i can last another 3 to 5 years. And after that...i dont knoe. Depends on 4chans reputation. If u peeps keep shooting up kids, then no. If yall became the new age savants that has helped to guide western civilization to glory and properity by deporting all jews and muslims, then yes... i will proudly announce that i have been a ling time lurker of Yea Forums.
was "kd and kyrie to knicks" as leverage an open secret to the whole league including the knicks? i have to believe a big part of the chaotic off season is designed to keep fans watching sports media and make money.
also what is the belief surrounding the knicks future, is it considered a dead end to all players or is there some insider shit going on thats going to turn the franchise around? i cant believe a market this large doesnt have tons of people scrambling to make it successful.
Damn ur 1st point is pretty legit. I havent thought of it that way. Although if u think about it, every off season has some dramatic shit going on, so it could just be a maeketing tactic to keep fans engaged and maximize revenue for the upcoming season.
As for knicks, i dont have much insider info. From what little i have heard through peers is that it is an organization hindered by politics. Too many interest groups trying to steer that organzation..with the end result being a lack of progress in any specific direction. If they wanted to, the knicks can easily load its roster up with all stars like the 2004 lakers and make a push for finals, but at the same time, there are other individuals who want to create a okc scenario of having home grown talents like kd, harden, and russ; it would create a good narrative of having the ny fans being a part of their stars growth. Think MJ, Rose, and Kwahi. But that strategy requires tanking. These differing idealsbutt heads. So what u r seeing right now is the team would take some phenonomenal player like melo in his prime, then surroundedhim with bums who are good at tanking...will the prob sort itself out? Who knows. Politics is confusing.
Have you ever been traded
Ya
Chances on me owning your jersey
U like shooters?
Whiteside i will fucking kill you
My aunt gained the favor of Nerlens Noel when he was playing for the Dallas Mavericks, helping him out when he entered the gardening store she was a manager at. Apparently it was to the point that she mentioned me being a fan (which was inaccurate) and he was fond enough of her to offer tickets whenever she wanted. This offer wasn't taken up on, as he was transfered shortly to the OKC Thunder.
In a similar fashion to the Carmelo questions, I'll ask:
A.) Do you feel his current role and contract are in-line with his skill level?
B.) Is him playing for OKC the best situation for him at the moment? Do you see a better fit for him anywhere else?
C.) How do you see yourself comparatively to him? Are you better, worse than, or around the same level as him?
D.) What are your thoughts on Nerlens as a person, either as a teammate, or on the court as a competitor?
Miami used to be a destination team for a lot of players. It appears to have lost some of its luster. Has Riley lost his touch and his reputation within the League? Would you go there under the right conditions?
i have to believe they thought they were getting kd and kyrie because of how they scrambled to make shrewd moves without leveraging the future once they went to bk. i honestly saw them coming to ny as a step backward to produce the same dynamic they had when melo had to tank with a revolving roster.
i dontknow about the politics but i know when theres that much money on the table theres gonna be a lotta open hands. what i dont understand is how theyre unable to develop players. every year ex knicks are in the playoffs, having benefitted from some development.
nyc got super loyal fans and i agree w you, homegrown talent would go a long way. best case we build a 10th seed team and grow incrementally for the next two years when we have enormous cap space again and lock in some big names.
question for you: when you first got drafted and knew you were gonna be rich, how hard was it to find an accountant, lawyer, tax specialist, etc you could trust? does money ever buy reliability or did you just have to machete your way through a bunch of vultures looking to suck dry your new found wealth
A. Tough to say. His injuries make his true potential hard to gauge.
B. It all depends on how cp decides to carry himself. He is arguably the best pass first pg in the league. If cp3 is not in the mood to play politics and just focus on basketball, noel could see his value rise. With that said, i doubt noel will see much time given the current okc roster. The power forward position will most likely be filled by gallinari. However if noel can come off the bench for 10 solid minutes with cp3 as the pg, he could benefit quite a quite when trading talks come up.
C. I play diff position. Hard to compare.
D. I am a little older than him. Ate dinner with him once. Seems to be a family oriented guy. We spoke a lot about how we were raised. As a competitor, i really cant say a whole lot. He gets a lot of trash minutes, but he does play hard and keep his nose on the grind stone.
Rileys great. Just getting older. Hes not as disciplined in his coaching anymore. And yes, i would go to any team that would take me. Lol
My uncle is an accountant, so i just hired his firm. Money doesnt buy reliability when it comes to people...ever! Network and social capital does. Professionals do not want to lose their reputation for a few hundred grand...a few hundred million, maybe. But i dont have that money. Lol
The players who have it the worst are players whoncame from bothing...the ones whose dad dealt drugs, mom was ghetto trash, and they grew up in the hood...they are naive and gullible. A jew in a bespoken suit would charm and amaze them to a point they cant think straight. Never trust a jew
network and social capital... i hear that. tough coming up without that. im on my fifth accountant, just trying to run a business here..
got any interesting tax strategies or investment ideas you picked up from millionaire money managers? do you file as a W2 or can you establish a corp and be paid through that? im thinking about making an investment subsidiary to my corp as an llc to protect and manage savings. looking for creative solutions
would love to hear some sneaky trick horror stories if you have any
Ireland shell comapnies. Look into it. 20 percent tax rate, but its possible to get it down to 9
It would be 2 long to text through my phone. In a nutshell...asks client to donate to charity in order tondecrease his taxes. Charity actually belongs to the jew,but since the charity was set up properly, cannot sue. He fired the jew afyerwards and that was the end. Many more of these stories from where this came from. U ever wonder how there r so many jews in banking and services living large, and u cant find 1 doing blue collar jobs ornany job that requires genuine work ethic?
fucking wild. thanks for the tips. have a great season bro! nice chatting w ya
Mike Conley is by far my favorite PG in the league currently, and over the entirety of this decade. I feel as though he's the most overlooked and underrated player by casual fans. What is your assessment of him as a player and as an individual?
Thanks for the thread, Oleksiy
If OP sees this before the thread gets axed, would you consider posting again in Yea Forums to allow for a longer lasting Q&A?
Do you think spencer dinwitti will ever become a super star?
Mtown n house mcon is still my fav til the season starts, and then it's jah
