Shabazz with Puerto Rico National Team ahead of FIBA qualifiers.

[How Sway?!]

Hard to believe Shabazz really is out of the league. Kid took the game really serious and showed great resolve. Fun to still watch him on a different stage.

Sadly, NBA basketball is a game of inches.

Still, his play was worthy of a contract. This remains a headscratcher to me.

No doubt, but being short suxs no matter how good you are. Its like an extension of when you are on the playground (or court) and their picking teams.

Sometimes it’s all about finding the right opportunity. Brad Wanamaker played his first 7 or so seasons overseas before he got a contract with the Celtics, and he was able to use it to get a second contract with the Warriors. I think Shabazz is a better player than Wanamaker, but he needs to find a good landing spot next.

True but often times this doesn’t happen. Luck plays a big part

Luck = Timing (injury, void, non production) Kemba struck gold going to Charlotte. Sure it was talent but anywhere else may not have been as good for his career. Talent does not always equal success but matched with luck it can make the difference. Even Bouk is not immune to falling to a 'bad match' team.

But on the playground, it's the guys who dominate on the court AND aren't hesitant to take charge that do the picking. Trust me, Bazz would be the man doing the picking. AND the one asking 'WHO'S NEXT' after the game was over.

He's not done yet. Maybe just taking a break, doing something he wants to do.

Dale Shabazz! Cuando la vida te da limones, para haces limonada. Me encanta la isle de Puerto Rico.

Forgive me if that wasn't perfect. My Spanish isn't 100% yet, but I'm working towards fluency.

Tremont Waters is with the Celtics. Last man on the bench. Living the dream.

 

[polycom]

The nba like any job is about politics...

 

[Hey Adrien!]

That's some YMCA old man moves there.

The Celtics have Carson Edwards and Tremont Waters. That’s roughly 11 and a half feet of basketball player.

 

[aceboon]

Been watching Brad Wannamaker stink it up all season as the backup PG for the Warriors, Bazz deserves a spot in the NBA

No way Marcus Teague is better than Shabazz

Marquis Teague has been out of the league since 2018

I assumed he was referring to Jeff, he's been terrible with the Cs and the TWolves played better with Bazz on the court instead of him last season, imo.

They’re 11.5 feet of wasted roster space.

Bazz isnt the shortest guy in the NBA. Hes not in the league because teams feel hes just not good enough, not because of his height.

They know he’s good enough. In most case they prefer someone younger like cheap second Round draft picks

So its a money thing? In the NBA?

Bazz was better than at least 3 other pgs the Celtics are carrying...what does that tell you?
