First Favors/Harris Media Interview

[TheDude]

Getting back to the video, and the important questions it raises; does Bolerjack have some sort of skin condition?

Not really sure what you are referring to. Played blackjack with Boler in Wendover about a month ago, and I didn't see any skin issues.

good video of favorshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zgPDt-p2fk0 , I'm wondering if he ever improved with his hook shoot. Can't wait till this guy becomes a beast.

Nice find with the video.

No the two minute interview was the topping on the cake of my two years of following Derrick Favors leading up to last years draft.

Okay, so you care to expound or are you just gonna spew supposed facts out with nothing to back them up? All I have seen from him is a quiet and humble demeanor. Is he immature? Probably, but he is 19 and seems to be a good kid...not a trouble maker like Cousins.

Unfortunately, you used solipsism incorrectly in this context, so I'm pretty sure you are the one who doesn't know what it means.

But nice try.

Solipsism is the theory, if not ethos, that the only thing that can be known is the self -- a contradiction in terms, as the self is defined by the broader world, whether we're talking about Einstein, Helen Keller, mongoloids or, yes, you. Either that, or a belief, extrapolated, that this world is itself a mental projection.

Thus it would be a pan (and of Pan, the shepherd) and bourgeois literalization of expressionism.

So, we know that you can use a dictionary. Read the baseline definition. But it's pretty obvious that you can't contextualize and consider what the outline actually means, beyond the most reductive usage: your mind as either rotary dial or blank notebook.

If you need me to be more tautological on this subject, don't be afraid to respond with more ineptitude.

I just hope that I didn't create you.

This is better than the "he's 19 he'll be fine". My first thought was that my son is 18 and he speaks far more intelligently than Favors. I still wonder about Favors' b-ball IQ, but thanks for putting this in context honz.

You needed that spelled out for you?

 

[Dtol17]

The fact that your signature says 'Do Millsap' just cracks me up.

The best part is that "Okay okay, you got me" smirk that he has on his face.

On a more serious note, this guy was just involved in one of the biggest trades of the season, hasn't had any chance to settle in anywhere, is still trying to get over the shock of the trade, and as has been said countless time, is 19 for God's sake! Give him a break. I'm guessing the majority of you criticizing his intelligence wouldn't have the composure to be interviewed under these circumstances without a few stammers and "umms" either. He'll be fine. He's shy, he's young, he's going through a lot, but he's going to be ready to play, and that's all that matters.

An interview's an interview, but Devin Harris definitely has a head on his shoulders. At the very least, I think he's going to get up to speed quickly.

 

[moevillini]

I can't hear anything that he's saying. What's D-Fav's reply to "Where do you think you are in terms of reaching your potential?"

"I think I'm close" or something like that.

yeah, it sounded like "I think I'm on my way. I work hard in practice and stay after practice to work on my game..."

 

[Marty McFly]

Harris seems positive. Hopefully his attitude rubs off on everybody. I'm sick of seeing everyone jogging up the court with their heads down.

Some good stuff on Favors at the Locked on Jazz blog...listening to it now. There is also an interview with Harris, but I haven't gotten to it yet.
