wym he's a great teammate. He just needs to create more and shoot less, which is playing within the flow of the game instead of forcing up shots.
everybody loves jalen - he hit that chicken dinner and the whole team went nuts

It's sad. The (old) Bullets were one of the marquee franchises when I first started following the league as a kid. Now it's going on almost 50 years of them being a punchline.

As a sidebar, I know "Bullets'" probably wasn't the most ideal team identity ever, but changing it to "Wizards" and then adopting that possibly lamest ever logo sure didn't help.
Bullets = insensitivity to gun violence That's why they changed it. Remember, when they changed their name to the Wizards it was way before Harry Potter. I remember almost everyone back then blaming that name change on racial insensitivity, since white supremacist leaders are "Wizards." The thinking was how do you get African American players to come be a Wizard? They basically have been mostly bad since that name change.

jalen green has to evolve - he just has to - all the flack he gets is self inflicted - gifted as all hell but there's more than scoring in today's nba

internationally as well - usa fell when they didn't team ball - we had to rework the whole thing because average joe's were kicking our american asses

if jalen green ever wants to make the olympic team it won't be because of his step back 3

it will be because of his step back pass - it'll be because he draws a lot of attention and uses it to his teammates' benefit

i've said it before - playing with book might be the best thing in the world for jalen green - it all starts with playing smarter - getting teammates involved and making sure the other team is in foul trouble

that's how jalen gets the max and the gold medal

Hopefully, Book gets him up to Flagstaff and gets Green in the lab.

My old school dirty trick, was when a guy would try and dunk on me, I would grab the bottom of a shorts leg, and their shorts started to slide down. Usually they would lose the ball trying to grab their shorts from sliding off. I usually got a foul, but lots of people laughing.
