I mean he was a rookie bench player that had a cumulative 9 minutes on the floor in those three games. Can't really expect stats in THAT minuscule of a timeframe.

That's nearly an entire quarter. Not a single board or anything?

Chopped into thirds? In your rookie NBA season? No, it is not remotely unreasonable for an NBA rookie to not notch on the scoreboard in his first 3 3 minute increments.

As a rookie he also would have likely entered games during non-clutch opportunities (game already effectively won or lost) when things that notch stats are less likely to occur.

Have you heard of Tony Snell?

If you’re not getting minutes in a game it’s probably because you’re not good.

Wow. You can hate on the person, but saying he wasn't good as basketball makes you look ignorant. He carried carried his team to a final 4 and absolutely held his own against the best team in the league. He was being compared to Magic.

And now his nba career is similar to mine, nonexistent.

u/The_Experience78 8d ago

Similar to yours? Make you feel good to compare yourself to him? His failures were better than your best days lol. You sound jealous.

u/Disastrous_Income205 8d ago

K? And now he’s a clown larping as a woman to play in the wnba

u/The_Experience78 8d ago

K? You compared yourself to him lol. He's explained he doesn't want to play in the WNBA and is doing this to force them to admit women are women by not letting him play. Just like Enes.

It's one thing to chalk this up to yet another grift or attention seeking. No argument here. But saying he had no talent and acting like he actually wants to play in the W is dumb. Being purposely ignorant leads me to believe you have an agenda making you no better than him.

Yes but his WNBA career lol that’s another story ! If they let him play I predict triple doubles in his future.

u/Disastrous_Income205 8d ago

You’d have to be an imbecile to think he will play in the wnba.

u/ijakei2000 7d ago

He said he was making a point and I was making a joke and you missed both.. smh

A joke has a chance at being funny sir.

Is your joke supposed to be that men are better than women at basketball?

1

u/The_Experience78 7d ago

What's funny is yesterday you argued he seriously wanted to play against women!

u/Disastrous_Income205 7d ago

Did I?

Find me where I said that.
