I laughed, really.

UGLI could have said, "Oh wait, I remember that wrong, didn't happen."
and you would have said,
"Uhhhhhhh, in that case, Al needs to seriously **** off. ****ing idiot."
 
I do think the combination of his cultural upbringing (MUCH more respect shown to elders/vets) with hazing has an impact with a kid that is concerned with being a good teammate.

Now he needs to get over it and punch Al in the face if he has to..
 
UGLI baby said:
Al said in an interview that he wont stop because last season wasnt a full season so it doesnt count.

Get off my team Albert! @##$%#

If he said it I have a hard time believing he was serious. As much as we are frustrated with Al I've repeatedly heard his teammates say that he's the funniest guy on the team.

Hold on, are you serious? If so, anyone have a link for this?

UGLI is definitely right, Al was talking about the froshing continuing PAST this season, since there were only 66 games.


Keep in mind, Kanter said that he didn't talk to any of his teammates UNTIL they started picking on him. So quit looking at this so negatively. If there is anyone who wants Kanter to succeed on that team, I could guarantee you that its Al. The guy has an enormous heart.

Maybe its me being 18 and naive, and logic would OBVIOUSLY indicate the contrary, but I seriously cannot see Al telling Enes that "hey, you wait your turn Rook, this is my team". I just can't picture it, from what Ive read and observed. But hey, I could be totally wrong.
 
In the locker room before a recent game, Utah Jazz guard Earl Watson asked me if I knew the secret to Jeremy Evans’ leaping abilities. Fortunately, I didn’t guess Shape-Up shoes, because I would’ve been wrong.

Watson: “He eats a pound of popcorn before every game.”

Me: “That explains Evans’ ability to go popping off the floor.”

“It’s true,” Watson continued. “He eats popcorn from the time we get here until the time the game starts. It’s crazy. It’s the weirdest thing ever.”

I’ve heard of weirder things, but we’ll discuss Kyrylo Fesenko later. Watson then asked if I thought Evans had a chance to make the Slam Dunk Contest, citing Evans’ “unreal” dunk percentage, talking about how Gerald Green got in despite not playing much and giving ideas of what The Pogo Stick/Jumping Jeremy/Elevator Evans should do in the contest.

Forget dunking over a Camaro, Watson wants Evans to jump over a band or a drum line with a cool beat going on in the middle of the lane because, he said, “That would be tight.”

Watson to Evans: “You want me to talk for you?” Watson to me: “I’m his dunk agent.

Watson then talked about the viral campaign of Evans’ video that showed him dunking over the 6-1 guard. “Bang. And we’re pushing it—Twitter, Facebook.”

Evans interrupting: “Everything, you name it.”

Watson talking over Evans: “Website.”

Evans interjecting again: “Photo Bucket.”

Watson: “We sending out text message pictures.”

Evans: “I’ve been on Photo Bucket.”

Watson: “We’ve got G-Time putting it up on Butler highlights on the JumboTron at Butler.”

Evans: “Even D-Fav’s Georgia Tech. We’ve got all that.”



Me: How cool would it be to make the Dunk Contest?

#LetJeremyDunk: “It’d be crazy.”

Me: Do you watch the Dunk Contest?

Evans: “I never watch it.”

An alarmed Watson to the young Jazz forward: “That’s not the right thing to say.”

Evans’ self-proclaimed dunk agent to me: “He’s been watching it since he was a kid … It’s been his lifelong dream.”

Gordon Hayward to Evans: “Earl’s not going to be right there answering for you all the time.”

Watson: “I can’t be there every second.”

Hayward: “He can’t answer the questions for you.”

Watson thinking like an agent: “I need a percentage. We’ve got to talk a percentage split first. I’ll be right there. I’ll answer every question. Tell him what it’d mean to you.”

Evans: “Growing up, I watched it some, highlights especially, but I never thought I’d get in it.”

Me: Your favorite dunk?

Evans: “Something between the legs. I like the 360, too.”

Me: You going to unveil that in a game?

Evans: “Maybe. If I get a little tick.”

Watson: “You won’t get a tech for that.”

Evans: “I said get a little tick.”

Watson understanding: “A little tick.”

Me not understanding: “What’s a little tick?”

Watson: “Playing time, Jody. The clock ticks.”

Me: ”Ah, thank you. I’m slow.”

Watson: “P.T.”

Me to his client: “Favorite dunk?”

Evans: “A couple of them I like.”

Hayward and Alec Burks: (Laughing and snickering at Evans)

Evans to his teasing teammates: “Is he asking me the questions?”

Evans: “Blake Griffin did the spin move and just took off in the game. And, of course, you’ve got Jordan from the free-throw line.”

Watson: “What about Big Al’s tip dunk?”

Evans: “Knees sky high? In Denver?”

Big Al while walking by: “You talking about when I hit my knees on the rim?”

Evans: “Yeah, that’s what I’m talking about. All-time favorites.”

Me: ”So, what’s up with the popcorn anyway?”

Evans: “Eat it before every game. We all been on it, me and my boy Burks and G. I like popcorn.”

That I agree with. However, what you said was, "If there is anyone who wants Kanter to succeed on that team, I could guarantee you that its Al. The guy has an enormous heart."

Wee bit different meaning between the two.

Very true, I had some very poor wording in my post. Ill concede that point, and agree with yours. Gods, this is embarrassing.

I don't think Al is trying to sabotage Kanter or anything. He's just giving him a ton of crap and Kanter is probly just ducking his head and taking it because, like PKM said, he thinks he has to.

To me, Al has no future with us. I don't want a black hole stats only none winner guy ****ing with the possibly fragile brain of one of our franchises building blocks.

Someone needs to pull Kanter aside and let him know that the franchise is counting on him to dominate, not fall in line with what Al tells him to do.

Oh yea, STFU Al.

I know, right? I almost didn't do it because it was too easy and obvious, almost.

It was too good to pass up. Serves me right. You can bet your left nut that this won't be happening again anytime soon, so enjoy it while you can.
