Sad how Brandon Jennings’s career has gone
-Dropped 55 as a rookie
-Traded to Pistons
-Fully broke out in 2014-2015 after Josh Smith was waived, including a 20-20 game
-Probably would’ve been an all-star but tore Achilles
-Never been the same
-Now, cut by team that drafted him

Even after major injuries, Pierre Jackson is WAY too good to be in the CBA.
Dude was averaging like 30 PPG in the G-League before tearing his Achilles.
Good he’s collecting some $$ right now but it’s time for someone to give him another shot in the big league.
Pierre Jackson (

A few loud weirdos out here still find a way to hate on this dude. A cursed organization transformed into a dynasty, built from next to nothing—around him.
Many people say Stephen Curry is a system player, but
@DaveDuFourNBA
once put it best: “Stephen Curry is a system, player.”
After the Russell Westbrook trade, Steph Curry is the longest tenured player still playing with the team that drafted him.
Steph has been with the Warriors for 10 seasons and counting.

So let me get this straight.
One of the winningest players in NBA history joins the Raptors, doesn’t even play a whole season, carries them to their 1st title in his first year, and he’s not even CLOSE to the GOAT discussion?
Apologize to Pat McCaw RIGHT THE HELL NOW.

The NBA All-Star Game NEEDS to have an additional honorary roster spot for retiring legends.
