I'm not sure if they are in Wilsonville, but it doesn't hurt to call them and ask.
Honestly, I'm indifferent to it either way.
No, I just don't like feeling like a shill.
That's on Stotts.
Yes, and no. It would be easier if it was that simple.
Yaaaaaa, I don’t think that actually happened.
That's right. Make CJ play teamball. Forbid Nurkic and Aminu to ever dribble. Should that be so difficult?
I’ve been around a few years and I’ve had my share of experience coaching youth basketball (which is worth little if anything in the long run) but if there is one thing I learned very early is that you can’t “make” anyone play team basketball. It can be taught but it can’t be forced. Over the years I saw far more than my share of mini CJs, sucking the energy out of the team game just so they could stand out individually before moving on to the next level. They weren’t there for the team, they were there for themselves. And they didn’t have anything else to get them there but one on five skills. And it’s (dismayingly) amazing how many coaches will tolerate that if it helps their own bottom line. CJ didn’t get to the show by playing team ball. He grew up an incredibly undersized kid who’s only chance to stand out was to be a ball hog, who scored enough (or entertainingly enough) to make everyone overlook his selfish tendencies. And anyone who takes the time to dig into CJs history a little will see what I’m talking about. In CJs mind, he made it against all adversity. But I suspect that in the minds of his various teammates at all levels growing up, CJ was THEIR adversity......CJ McCollum is fully made. He is what he’s going to be as a basketball teammate. Now Portland needs to send him somewhere that might actually work.........
I was watching the Bucks destroy OKC this morning on a highlight recap at work and the passing was beautiful...all their points came off multiple passes that ended with dunks, layups or 3s.....Jason Kidd is a hell of a coach. My son played HS hoops for 4 years with a ballhog and a coach that encouraged him.....nobody got to shoot unless it was a second chance off a rebound....today that ballhog superstar kid is a street junkie...jobless..strung out. You make a great point about this situation in teaching the game. Team hoops is why I loved that Pistons team with Sheed....most unselfish basketball team I've maybe ever seen.
He's a perfect 6 man of the year candidate...what we wanted Mo Williams to be...that's CJ....good starting 2 guards can shut him down...he'd own the 6 man award for multiple years...sparkplug
thats funny cause fans around the league think hes the worst coach in the NBA and MIL fans cant stand him
hes not better player at all, nevermind much better player, but his playing style is
