All they seem to really know how to do these days is shoot hoops and shag ho’s.

They need to return to the days of bouncing the ball, passing the ball and tossing the ball like grown men

I recall a discussion back in the mid 90s in which someone commented on how they recently read an interview with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in which he said even by that time, not many in the NBA really knew how to play basketball compared to what it used to be. The slam dunking and other flashy nonsense probably contributed a great deal to that situation (and probably still does).

“You learned how to balance your freaking checkbook in college“

Did you mean to say 10th grade?

This can be applied to a lot of pro sports players.

Those old players probably had Fathers too. Thanks to the groups pretending to care about Blacks, that’s all a thing of the past.

If I remember correctly, James Worthy was arrested in Houston for seeking an intimate relationship with a hooker, Oops, I mean lady of the night.

Is that the kind of fundamental maturity of which he speaks? ;-)

“...You learned how to balance your freaking checkbook in college, there’s a lot of things. ...”
Yup, stuff that was taught in the first year of high school back when we had real school boards, real schools and non-woke teachers who had real intelligence and non-dyed hair.

NBA players - Fundamentals and Maturity?? Yep, none of the players have any. But the true idiots are those who would pay to watch these dipshits hang from hoops......

I write a check a month. I learned how to balance a checkbook when I was a kid. I had good parents.
