[Ehrmantraut]

damn dude

He’s a cRaps fan who happened to also be a Kooby fan girl which is ironic since Koobs always shit on that franch.

 

[berimBOWLoh]

@The One True He's a Lakers fan from Canada

LOL just when i thought nobody could be more pathetic than @dream the Canadian GS fan.....

Lakes are getting torn up by the corpse of lance Stephenson tonight. Rough game

 

[berimBOWLoh]

oh shit, secret weapon unleashed.

 

[jrams]

Orders must be in from the NBA, refs already starting to screw the Raptors.

"orders"

 

[TeTe]

Simmons with his ninth triple double. This one with zero turnovers... Only the third player in NBA history to do that.

It’s a 2 horse race that’s seesawing.

Yeah nvm that other rookie who’s team has won something like 23 out of their last 25 while being in the Wild West

Laker fans are acting like that to Kuzma right now.

I’m pretty sure no one treated them the same. Kuzma obviously looks like he has a higher ceiling atm. Rookie year and he has had some great games. Sure he bottomed out there for awhile but you gotta be just a hater to think he doesn’t have potential.

He is what you see. 23 year old rookie who won’t get much better than he already is. Just a guy imo.

Simmons is just better

 

[clutchCAT420]

Simmons isn't a fn rookie.. Mitchell is easily the ROTY.

He’s 22.

Guess you haven’t actually watched him play much. You only watch Lebron games? Surely you caught the Lakers shitting on him recently?

Let Adam Silver know - he thinks the guy who plays his first NBA game is a rookie. I'm sure you can bring him up to speed.

 

[PRESIDENT TRUMP]

Simmons isn't a fn rookie

Is this Simmons' first season playing basketball for an NBA team?

 

[DangDaGawd]

Is this Simmons' first season playing basketball for an NBA team?

No. He was a player for the Sixers last season.

 

[auger38]

Weird. Can't find any of his stats from last season

 

[DangDaGawd]

Weird. Can't find any of his stats from last season

Also weird that I can't find what pick he was taken in the 2017 draft

 

[auger38]

That's a weak ass counter argument.

Scenario 1
Guy is 1 and done in College, then sits out a full NBA season. Enters the league at 20.

Scenario 2
Guy plays a full 4 years of college, then enters the league at 22.

Who's a rookie, who isn't, and why.
