I owe Naji an apology.

I also owe Naji an apology. I’ll wear this L. Good shite

When he knows his role, yeah. But when he tries to be Kobe and gets tunnel vision. Naw.

I’m shitting crow at this point I talked so much shite about him. Dude is balling hard. His defense is extremely underrated and now his shot is falling? Wow.

VS DAL: 15 PTS, 3 REB, 1 AST
@ PHX: 21 PTS, 6 REB, 5 AST
@ LAC: 13 PTS, 4 REB, 2 AST

y’all laughed when I said Naji was important, and untouchable. That kind of production on a mostly unguaranteed minimum contract with zero acquisition cost. AND he’s a leader of the culture AND he’s Ingram’s best bud

I think Naji would be the 3rd best player on the Lakers right now. Hell, because he actually plays, maybe the 2nd.

Not I--been saying he's a cheaper (not as good) Hart for a couple of years now.

Same. For what we pay him and expect out of him, he fills that role quite well.

Probably understands his role better now, feels secure and part of the team and culture… where as before, maybe he was trying to prove himself and cement his place in the rotation he may have forced things a little.

Either way he’s on a good Run right now, on both ends of the floor… and long may it continue.

This team is going to make pretty much everyone eat crow on something. After the 3-19 start last year and believing Zion was out for season I was on team tank.

When Jaxson becomes a plus rotation player this season I’ll overdose on it.

Naji is only 24, and he works hard. Young players who work hard often improve. I don't know why so many of y'all thought he had maxed out his potential.
