dame time in milwaukee
Anthony Davis look like he got microcephaly…
I can’t wait for you to do Jokic, video gonna be two hours
Imagine if the Kings picked him. Lillard would have been the perfect player to pair with Boogie imo.
Excellent video, again. Covered the players really well.
Dame & the miami heat players seems to have a lot in common
Better than Drexler who led them to the finals
👉 ⌚
And Dion got a ring before dame💀😂
Lillard or Drexler?
AD still goes number 1 dame number 2
Damn dame! “He was on my ass” you could have said he was motivating me.. wth bro
Can you do what happen to the 59 player drafted before Isaiah Thomas
I live in north cal, the kings really sucked and they didn't select dame. What a stup!d team. Dame is an Oakland kid, sac is an hour 30 minutes away, it's a match made in heaven 🤷♂️🤷♀️🤷♂️🤷♀️
I get it, kings still had tyreke evans but when a team sucks, you JUST NEED TO BRING IN AS MUCH TALENT AS YOU CAN. Evaluate the players. Keep the ones you like, trade away the players you don't like. But bring the talent IN FIRST.
And then in two years, the kings traded away tyreke and Robinson. What a cr@p team.
AND THEN, history repeats itself when kings drafted bagley over luka😵💫😵💫😵💫
This could be a hot take but I think dame is top three most clutch or even the most clutch all time
Dame ain't even the second best portland draft, bill walton and clyde drexler had much better careers then dame
Yea and 10 years from now youll be making a video called
"Why Damian lillard never won a ring"
Dame cheated in those combines . He had on them flu game 12s . They give you a boost in fatigue resistance . Ask Mj lol 😆
They want to teams that werent the blazers i don't care
5:30 Anthony Davis HOF? Are you ok buddy? Yeah he was great in the bubble. But can't stay consistently good and get's injured a ton. Unless next few seasons he finds some untapped potential bubble AD was best what we saw from him and one title season is not enough for HOF especially when most of his season were not that great in terms of achievements.
