I'm probably just not remembering, but I can't recall a hype-train that has barreled off the tracks so quickly as the one for Yang

just the titles of his youtube videos are so over the top that he's in orbit:

* "Chinese Jokic DOMINATES Summer League!"
* "This Chinese NBA Player Has Taken The World BY STORM"
* "The Chinese Jokic Just Made Them All Look Stupid"
* "Who Let The Blazers Get Away With Yang Hansen?"
* "Two 7-Foot GIANTS Who Will Change the NBA Foreverr" (Wemby & Yang; lol)
* "Yang Hansen, the NEXT BEST Big Passer in the NBA!"
* "Yang Hansen Summer League Debut Was INSANE!"
* "Yang Hansen Did THIS And Shocked The Entire World!"
* "Yang Hansen’s IQ Will Crush Athleticism in the NBA"

130 summer league players averaged more points; 92 averaged more rebounds. 177 had a higher FG%

It’s because they’re farming for Chinese clicks. It’s no coincidence that the media puts Yang IN EVERYTHING.

We didn't tank and we got an absolute monster of a gem in Yang. The Blazers management knew what they were doing. Let the other teams squabble over Flagg's nutsack and nibble their way to mediocrity while the Blazers built a power team core and now have the insane fortune to have Dame and Jrue, too

Yang? I'll say it now. Yang will be better than Flagg. Revisit this in a while and see how I am calling it: he will be better for the team than Flagg. Why?

He makes everyone around him better. His IQ and touch and vision: ELITE.

He immediately adds so much to the other players. He made the Summer league squad look like the frickin' Dream Team.

F tanking. And F NOOP's.

But we did tank this past season. We benched players with questionable or non-existent injuries in order to NOT make the playoffs.

We didn't tank very well compared to other teams, but it's nice to see that you enjoy the results of our tanking with the player we selected in the draft.

This thread, started at the peak of the offseason doldrums when absolutely nothing is happening, feels reminiscent of a young and extremely bored Kingspeed (or was is Zack Addy?) starting an "I had sex with an NBA player" thread.

don’t worry the nba writers were pretty much immediately snickering while calling him entertaining or fun and quickly moving on.
 
This thread kind of reminds me of a scene from Waterboy................

The thought of that damn humid heat and them slogging away at hot hard liquor makes me want to empty my stomach on those "bury-me-in-a-Y-shaped-coffin" chicks' hair.

Wait...are you the ghost of Harry Glickman!?!?
 
Damn, this person just used the, “you know who I am, right?” ………. I think of all the nutty things I’ve seen on here over all the years, this might be the best ever.

Be fair. You used a very similar line on me when i first joined here.
“Calm down Francis. I am kind of a big deal around here…” is basically the same thing as saying, “don't you know who I am” or “If you knew who I am…”

Sorry man. Just keeping it real in a forum full of double standards.
 
It was kind of a silly way to put it. I'm not Neil or any player, obviously. I had a very impactful exchange/experience with Dame and he gave me something that truly made me realize just how genuine he is. I am very happy fate or fortune brought him home. I am sometimes moved to share it and I do when talking to some fans in person. I have thought about telling Brooke or Lamar or KC, as it would make a great piece during a broadcast sometime.

The thing is, just know that Damian Lillard is the real deal and truly cares about fans and people. He's also just a human being like any one of us, but has a lot of talent and blessings and a huge drive to be great.

Whatever happened to him anyway? Man, I don't know about you, but if I'm Dames cousin and I get a chance to be on the team, I'm doing whatever it takes to become at least good enough to be third or fourth best on the team and take the them to the top with my cous and that means get some serious trainers and inject myself with some quality basketball player DNA (that sounds BAD!). Keljin should have gone to TP and studied under one of the cornerstones of this team and made something of himself.
