Did you visit Saudi recently?

Just curious I grew up there.

2012, Riyadh just as the gigantic hotel was being finished. Are you a native or were your parents expats?

They have the loving strictest and most annoying customs I've ever encountered

I wonder if Saric and Ben Simmons will be able to play together

Saric became a great 3p shooter this year, but wasn't very good before that. We'll see!!!!! !! !!

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
TJ McConnell being the best Russell defender on Earth is an interesting thing to me.

in NCAA opponents eventually had smaller defenders on Simmons with a cushion, challenging him to shoot
Lakers put their big ogre on him

Simmons is gonna be fun because he's pretty much instantly the best non-LeBron passing forward in the league but if he can't/won't hit a jumper even when teams are sagging off him that much I have no idea how he consistently scores in the half court in the NBA

My friend Timothe Luwawu Caborot needs to cut his loving hair or he's going to ruin the 76ers season.

He has such a weird slow catapult of a shot that it might not matter, we'll have to see! !!!!

I've already seen him make Lebron-only passes and he's missed so many easy jumpers. He's power forward Rubio

Mega Leks played a running and threes style last year, and I think Timothe got attention because he's a really good transition player on offense and a good defender. He was getting mocked at like 10 before people realized his threes (he made a lot at a good percentage) were all weirdly unguarded and he has the release of a random pick up player

The reason David Robinson was so incredible was because upon entering Annapolis, he had to go through the ritual head buzzing and keep a high and tight for 4 years. He danced on the precipice of danger sometimes with a slight flat top, but he never went full Kid n Play, and because of the initial haircut, he became a first ballot hall of famer.

Tight hair, tight shot
Long hair, its a long shot for you to make the shot youre taking because the release is messed up

I'm praying that Wiggins keeps his rows and shoots a significantly higher percentage so this whole thing can really take hold

Since he did that and Justise Winslow is wearing that hilarious ponytail, I think guys know. Only the sturbborn and foolish are keeping their hair long. This is a situation where whites have an unfair advantage due to their uncurly hair. I wouldn't be surprised if the next draft is 95% white players due to their ability to wear their hair long without it affecting their shot.

And if your objection is, what about Armenians like OJ Simpson lawyer Robert Kardashian who like to slick back their dense and thick hair into big bouffants. And I'll respond with an immediate lawsuit, restraining order, and series of incredibly vicious physical attacks
