@adnan8837 3 года назад

@Carl Morgan He said BECOME legendary, not legendary already. He’s already had some great feats. 70 points in one game. 8-0 in the bubble. Some clutch shots. He’s only 24 so obviously he’s not gonna have many accolades apart from All-Star appearances, but he’s already the #1 option on a contender. He’s on track to become a top 10 player and potential MVP candidate sometime in the mid to late 2020s. Somewhere in the Damian Lillard range.

I like Booker's attitude. He came off the bench at Kentucky because of how stacked that team was, and instead of letting that stunt his development like so many others, he took it as a challenge. Iron sharpens iron, and now he's a fantastic NBA player.

Victor Ugo klay is a really good, but Curry? Don’t get me wrong curry is the best shooter but his shooting form especially in pick and rolls is literally yeeting the ball in the air with both arms, and not in a recomendable way, his shooting form is not smooth since it is nearly imposible to copy, he stays almost no time in the air with the ball in his hands and still has the skill to score which makes him unique, but his jump shot ain’t smooth
