You do realize that Lamb played ten years in the NBA, right ? He was never a "star" in the NBA, but a 10 year career is pretty significant. I would never assume anyone had that in them, least of all Bouknight

He signed some good contracts

Seeing Rip come up a lot in this thread so I figured this is the best place to post this funny short.

That’s funny stuff with Rips long nails lol. But tells you how important it is to keep moving looking to get open, and we know Rip and Ray had never ending motors. Hopefully Hawk is watching film of these 2.

Kirk Heinrich huh? Wow interesting.

Weirdly enough we couldn’t be where we are without Bouknight. His talent was a recruitment selling point in the turnaround years

I don't think that's the case - maybe for some players who aren't in Storrs anymore
I have been reading it is Dan Hurley that lured the players to UConn
To be honest CV had a better overall success that senior year before Covid stole his thunder
But can't argue with a lottery pick. Thabeet?
Bouk had God given talent that became lost due to behavioral issues long before he arrived in Charlotte and using the team/organization as a scapegoat is ridiculous. People knew the issues before he even stepped on a court at UConn but nobody dared to take corrective action. Unfortunately/fortunately more people in the sport now realize what has been an ongoing tragedy.
 
42 minutes for Kemba given the state of his knee was irresponsible

It was funny. People are capable of recognizing his behavior is unprofessional and that particular incident was funny. Those same people could also have figured pretty quickly that he didn't have what it takes to be a solid NBA player. All of those things can be true at the same time.

It was funny (I was there with a teenager who loved it) & stupid at the same time. Thinking about it Ray Allen (consummate pro) would never ever do something like that.

And its possible that if Calhoun were still coaching he, quietly but frankly would have walked into student section and escorted Bouk out himself (which also would have been quite funny;).

tbh just play Kemba once and let him drop 30, then rest him for like 2 weeks so he can do it again later lol

Kemba with 32, including this bucket to send it to OT. Still got it.

Great for Kemba. But this is a great example of the lack of defense in today’s NBA. Blow-by and no rotational support.

When fans of the NBA claim that today’s players are better than the players from the ‘60s ‘70s and ‘80s…they’re full of bs.

They are better athletes, with better training. They are not better PLAYERS.

The women's team are better PLAYERS than the 60s/70s/80s era NBA players

Right. Other than being better ball handlers and shooters playing against more complex defensive schemes, the players aren’t better.
 
Madmannsucks said:
The fact that some think there are better players today than this is laughable. Blocks shot. Brings it up, passes, sets a pick and dunks. Actually runs down the court.

Russell was an in incredibly smart and efficient player. Championships were the norm for him, at all levels.

If you believe in economics, today’s players are the best.

I say that understanding that not everyone on this board does.
 
Two of the three best CUSA teams, both ranked within the top-55 in KenPom ratings and a chance to see Gaffney play.

 
Tonight at 6:30 on FS1 its Providence and Corey Floyd Jr vs Butler. Go Corey. Have a nice game brother

Can’t tell if this is a troll attempt or not. Also have 0 understanding why it is its own thread when we legit have a whole thread about transfers and former huskies playing elsewhere

Nah the person who posted the thread is clearly elderly, they’re pretty tone deaf but definitely a fan.
