Gotta give credit to CJ and Val

Two pros for sure

I’ve always loved CJ. JV is growing on me. His game is antiquated but he’s tough as shite and I admire that.

CJ growing up, people always told him he was too small to be in the NBA. He had to work 10x harder and be 20x better than everyone else. He likely could not afford a single sick day and would hide injuries. As a result we get the guy last year who played half a year with a broke finger.

Val was born in the third world economic conditions which followed the USSR collapse. He mentioned once in an interview about working long hard hours at a coffin factory during his childhood. You think his first class flight being delayed overnight was hard for him?

Everyone knew Zion and BI would be multi millionaires by the time they were 12 and red carpets rolled out wherever they went. No disrespect, but you see the difference.
