I believe its true that MJ sees himself as helping his younger guys with occasional advice. He could be called a mentor if the mentee listens. He will reach out to the rookie/younger player w/talent. Bouk listens.
Its amazing that people think JB can't benefit from MJ's advice as a ball player
Rip literally called him his mentor, this board has a weird thing where y'all like to speak on these guys relationships as if y'all know them personally.
That's true. I presume MJ encouraged him to keep using it and to refine it so he could use it more in different situations. A lot of the skill with shooting is getting good opportunities to use it. I'm sure MJ loved Rip's work ethic and his constant movement on the floor. MJ loves relentless workers.
Great story , assuming it’s true.
Yep, and energy management. I believe he needs to add like 10 more pounds of lean muscle mass. I don’t know if he can make it through an 82 game season right now.
So weird to hate on a husky who bleeds blue when they’re having success.
Or changing the subject of something irrelevant like a preseason game score
Definitely untrue, how Barry McLeod coached us at BPT Central was really hard coaching lol
Chief wants the best for James, who I have known since his prep days. The issue is not with him but the well meaning Casual Fan such as @Waquoit who try to make James about “cool plays” or channel to off court stuff - when he needs to work on being a dog (as Ryan Boatright would say), making winning plays and conditioning/game prep.
Your initial comment had nothing to do with that and was instead geared towards belitting an impressive play Bouk made by downplaying it happening while his team was losing.
It was the comment in the post I was replying to - I don’t know how much more related it can be. It had everything to do with it.
Nope. Martin and McDaniels.
