Do you guys recall the " Kangaroo " sneaker brand ? I had a pair when I was in first grade, they had a little pocket and I would put my house keys in them I think. Sneakers should be that practical. Nothing beat " Pro Keds " in the 70s in the City, every one had them and suddenly they vanished. What about LA Gears and sneakers like " Fila " and a few others I think I recall correctly like " Diadora ? " And " Loto ? " From the 80s and 90s. Since I am married, and old I settled into wearing regular comfortable Sketchers shoes, sneakers, and sandals cause they are an excellent value, come in wide widths, and are comfortable. You mean Sketchers haven't been cool all this time ????? Oh well

If you didn’t get a chance to see - he was legit dominating against Warriors early last night. Multiple blocked shots off dribble against Wiggins.Kay and numerous tough jumpers and pull up 3’s - 19 and 5 blocks but you could see the potential skills with gigantic frame/wingspan that I hadn’t seen first few games or summer league ——- scary.

Another guy in the same strain as Cam Reddish

Yeah... everyone is tough until Draymond punches them in the nuts.

Knox didn't publicly whine. Also, you saw the way his former teammates came up to him in his first game with Atlanta? Kevin seemed well liked

Proof positive

And he was replaced but some kid I’ve never heard of - this is one of the GREAT examples of normal fans not being able to see a kid’s passion for the game during the draft process.

Kev was highly skilled but he clearly isn’t in love with the game - a shame he hasn’t reached his potential given his natural size and touch.

We will always have that 2018 summer league and preseason

That summer league was magical. He was inefficient but he was agressive. Once the real games started he just seemed to lose all that aggressiveness.

And so it begins

Nalod @ 10/24/2023 10:34 AM
when the subject of Embiid comes up a dude on max money and a back history.
He is the reigning MVP but gets banged up most years by seasons end.
Philly will bid his value up. He wants NY but its a division rival and he won't come cheap.
Issue becomes one or both of RJ and Jules is included and leaves a big hole in starting lineup IF we are to contend asap.
Its a three year window thing so there are things to be done.
If so, Nalod to have to keep an open mind to who goes, who stays, and other deals to make.
I like our guys. I'll like the new players also.

very interesting. I personally take issue with 4-6 for a variety of reasons and find Miami's, Dallas, and Atlanta's absence from top 10 interesting

We need one or more of RJ, IQ and Grimes to take that next step on impactfulness to be real fun to watch
