Return To The RAIDER-FORUM
I'll fight my urge to respond as I don't have the same privilege you have to say certain things out loud. I will say I don’t think it's either of the things you suspect. I think it's more people seeing a guy who is a great college player who's skills don't translate to him being a very good NBA player. I'm not saying it's right, either. He should be appreciated for what he is, not what he isn't. His footwork and balance are insane.
For the record my two favorite players all-time are Bird and Olajuwon.

I hate the one and done guys of today,but I think it lends to teams being upset because they don’t stay and develop powerhouse teams anymore.

Wife and I follow St Mary’s a little bit as it is our home town team. Gaels v Zags have been exciting games all year. Now that the Gaels are knocked out I have no problem being a fan of the Zags and yes, Timme is a beast.HesterLayes wrote Fri Mar 24, 2023 9:20 am:People hate on Timme on Twitter and I think it’s because he is white and stayed all four years..they act like he’s 25.
Solid player and dominated last night.

Won’t make this a race thread,just the majority of detractors on Twitter are black people. Just stating facts.They bury him and say the only reason he gets hype is because he is white and that he is 30 years old.Has a Kendrick Perkins smell to it.Dark Horse wrote Fri Mar 24, 2023 9:41 am:

Don't assume. Twitter is not an accurate sample size of any group other than outspoken trolls. I know what you are referencing with Perkins and he was dead wrong about that and couldn't talk his way out of it. I've also seen Reddick talk himself into the hole as well.HesterLayes wrote Fri Mar 24, 2023 9:46 am:Won’t make this a race thread,just the majority of detractors on Twitter are black people.

If that Zags wanna finally win a chip, they need to play Smith more. That kid was a monster in the second half. He is super decisive.GUYDON wrote Fri Mar 24, 2023 9:54 am:Timme was a monter last night

Johnson is from my city. He went to Norview High at the same time my youngest son was at Maury ( Joe Smith, Kam Chancellor). He died on the court and was resuscitated. Florida's doctors wouldn't clear him even after the Mayo Clinic did, so he transferred.HesterLayes wrote Thu Mar 23, 2023 7:50 pm:K state used to have a terrible football program when I was young,like the worst,but they have turned it around.basketball seems like they have been decent.I remember Mitch killing us in the big 8

That’s a good point,but teams like Arkansas and Bama have crazy recruits and still lost. Basketball is a sport where unlike football, if ya have a stud or two you can hang with anyone and especially if ya have a well coached fundamental team.Jeevo wrote Fri Mar 24, 2023 10:19 pm:The new rules regarding player compensation have made it more likely that we're going to see future tournaments like this one. The recruitment advantages that certain programs had for decades are over I think.
