Baring injury , Porzingis will go down as greatest foreign player ever

[WorldNumberOne]

He is something special. 7'3" knocking down 3 pointers

20 years old..

 

[Enfuego]

Let's slow down a bit. Kid has played 20 games.

Long way to go before comparing him to Dirk.

 

[JustinCruise]

Talk about being prisoner of the moment.....

It's absurd to make that statement this early in his career

 

[WorldNumberOne]

Will look forward to 5team bumping this in 10 years. Its the Internet, land of the absurd.

 

[Vlad the Impaler]

Why is it that it seems or maybe is that every European/ foreign based player is always 7'0" and weighs 180 when they come over here. I know there are exceptions but seems like 95% of them are this way.

It humors me when people get so upset at someone jumping out on a limb and making a bold statement .
Its the Internet.

I guess all people want to read at this place is "Curry is good" threads

That's so exciting .

Because the NBA does not have much interest in their short players

I don't think anyone is upset


But of course people are going to call someone out when they say a player is the greatest of all time 20 games into his career. That's just ridiculous.

Prisoner of the moment is when you think the world is coming to an end and we are in a war zone everytime there is a shooting on the news.

Last night I went to the movie theater in Lafayette La where they had that shooting a few months ago.
Sat within 20 feet of where the actual shooting was and I was not even nervous or scared

How does you not being nervous or scared change anything that could happen?


I'm pretty sure all the people who were killed in that same theater weren't nervous or scared when they started the movie either. Same for those shot during their work christmas party. I assume they weren't nervous or scared before the shooting started.

Why would you be nervous or scared anyway? Your chances of dying in a car crash are huge compared to a shooting.

My question is how did an NBA thread turn into a mass shooting thread haha

 

[Mr_Mark]

Detlef Schrempf, Yao Ming, Mutombo, Ginobili, Tony Parker, Steve Nash, Gasol Brothers, Dirk, Olajuwon.... He has got a lot of great foreign players to compare with

 

[Ladeda]

I like this kid. I'm rooting for him, he has a chance to be great.

It scared me when I saw this thread title, I just assumed it was Choptalk, which would have doomed this kids chances of ever being great. Was relieved to see someone else started it, so he still has a chance to be the best!

I agree. But as a Knicks for many years, James Dolan (the worst owner in sports) and the Knicks will do something to screw this up.

Forgot about Olajuwon.. He's top 10 , maybe 6 of all time no matter where anybody came from.

He never crosses my mind as foreign due to watching him in college.

Porzingis will be the 2nd best then...

 

[LoCalDallasGuy]

Injuries.. lets see if he can handle that part.


Seems like this is what seperates the best from the best.
