The "Sharpe just did some crazy shit!" thread

[KeepOnRollin]

Sharpe may not be our second best player, quite yet, but I think it is entirely possible that he's already our second best in BBIQ.

 

[BassPlaya]

I think he should release a high quality line of pocket knives.

 

[e_blazer]

Can't wait for the Air Shaedons to release.

How about the sHARPes?

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Wouldn't every 20 and under rookie remind people of Kawhi Personality wise?

Young teenagers don't know how to articulate their thoughts well, are reserved, and need to learn how to speak to the public. Ant was the same as a rookie but now is much more talkative, I'd expect as these guys age they will open up even more.

Kawhi is so unusual and not all in a good way, I wouldn't compare others to him.

Dame, CJ and even BRoy were all exceptions to normally reserved rookies as they were 4 year college guys and extremely articulate well spoken.

I've been teaching high school students for a while and you just can't generalize like that. Some of them are astonishingly articulate and forthright. In fact, I don't think you change that much over your life. Chatty later implies chatty in high school.

Tough to top Rim Shaedy after there was an entire rap song written about him -- but Shakedown also has a nice ring to it!! Is this the first ever auto-correct that one could be happy about??

What about T.A.G. for Talented and Gifted? Could tie that into the "Tag! You're it" phrase as he has got next after Dame D.O.L.L.A.

 

[STOMP]

Yes the GOAT would be a top5 player. Nobody else (VC, TMac, Kobe, Wade) being discussed is a top5 player.

being the GOAT makes you a top 5 player so, no big deal but it's odd that you'd add that

Vince was extremely athletic but he did not have Jordan's hops.

He will be by the end of the season.

 

[handiman]

Jordan was on a whole different level as the GOAT and a top 5 player. He had a 48 inch vertical. None of those other guys were in the same realm.

Didn't they change how verticals were measured after Jordan's days, resulting in lower numbers for everyone?

 

[inconceivable]

Has there been any explanation for the tech that was called on Shae after that ridiculous bucket?

It was disrespectful

 

[Pinwheel1]

It was disrespectful

Did he say something? Because the look he gave Plumlee was not very long.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

It was disrespectful

"You made Plumlee look silly by hanging in the air that long! We can't have that--technical foul!!"

Seriously though, it looks like on the highlight that he said like two words. I can only assume he said something about the contact and the ref took umbrage, but I'd think the threshold for T-ing a player up should be significantly higher than that.

He winked at Plumlee. Taunting opponent.

If SS wasn't a rookie would he have gotten that T? I am going with NO.

Link (to the wink)?

it actually looked like Plums threw the ball at Shaedon.

I don't think there is a camera angle that caught it. I saw a reply to a tweet of the play. Maybe whoever said it was sitting baseline?

Got it. You must be talking about this:



About the only other tweet I can find about it was this:

Jordan had almost a half foot higher vertical than Vince.

Being chatty in high school is very different than knowing how to speak in public as as an NBA player. Young people, and also people that are new to a job (regardless of age) are less chatty while they better understand how to articulate and present themselves. Just because Kawhi is a reserved quiet guy in his 30's (not to mention all his oddities) doesn't mean 19 year old Sharpe, or any NBA rookie, will be similar for the next decade.

Yep and Shaedon’s got an inch on Jordan.

Anyone else notice that they had the wrong pictures for Bernard King? And instead of showing Spud Webb dunking, they showed him in another persons dunk?

If you search a bit more, you'll find entirely different lists, as well as questioning where the 48" figure for MJ actually came from, why Wilt's allegedly similar stat isn't included, max jump vs standing jump records, measurement accuracy, etc.

And they had Clyde wearing a Rockets jersey?

 

[BBert]

Too bad this was BRoy’s nickname, because The Natural would be appropriate to call him.

I thought the same thing.

 

[BBert]

Auto-correct on my phone keeps changing Shaedon to “Shakedown”… just sayin’!

Bleacher Report... remind me of when Mike ever had his vertical measured officially. Pretty sure that like Clyde, Shaedon and others, it's just legend and we have to use our eyes.
