2024 NBA Draft Reaction Thread

Is there a useful place to follow the 2nd round? Or is it just uninteresting? Seeing as it's happening relatively early, it matches up well with watching a combined sunset and lightning show here in the south of Norway.

I'm listening to Sam Vecenie's live stream. I'm assuming ESPN is just going to be a Bronny James coverage fest

Would be just hilarious if Lakers passed on him at 55...

 

[Maneesh]

Yeah all that hunting nonsense is lieds @Maneesh can confirm DA is no hero.

It’s tru he even fires jazz hero’s gobert even Mitchell. I see this night he makes new hero’s for jazz. I have happiness now thank you listen my thought tonight .

I’m still amazed Vecenie could do everything he does living in Australia.

OK, no more joking about Flip's girlfriend. It appears to be serious. His older brother is implying there might be some kind of grooming situation.

Stephen A already taking over this draft show with Stephen A things…

*sigh*

Someone help me understand how I am supposed to feel about this. Is it sadness, or anger, or disappointment, or some other weird empathetic thing? If so I will try to help it overwhelm the suffocating ambivalence I actually do feel. I mean the poor 20 year old kid will have to toil away at some measly $500k a year job for 2-3 years maybe before he can bank on breaking that million $ per year barrier. Should I feel, sad for him I guess? Aww, poor guy. So, uh, sad, I guess.

I know that many years ago, the NBA cut back on the number of invitees to the Green Room to help minimize the possibility of Filipowski/Furphy “no draft” incidents. They didn’t want to highlight disappointment, they wanted celebration. Times have changed, we live in an Internet/political age of polarization where spectacles might drive up ratings. Or perhaps the NBA thinks so.

His GF is Mormon or something? I’m not understanding the reference.

Why do I care if she's 10 years older than him? Dude's a grown-*** man and can make his own decisions.

HOLY HELL. Givony has sold his soul, too... he's selling Bronny HARD! Like he's some great prospect. What the hell is happening?

I looked up her photo, she’s kinda hot.

Looks kinda like Taylor Swift.

They looked happy together.

I don’t get what the issue is.

Unless she is going to interfere with his BB career

I want Flip more now.

Spam...get that out of here! Apex block on a player going hard. That's a skill. Imagine a senior in high school doing this. That is his age comparison wise.

Game recognizes game! MILF appreciators of the world, unite!

Big with ball skills.

Filipowski or @Handlogten's Heros' mom?

Haha.. oh you killed me..

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

The Filipowski thing is weird, but it's personal business. Family situations are weird. I dont trust someone's family to be correct/right about someone's situation.

Mark Tatum's pause and smile after announcing the Raptors were up made me giggle
