Is Brandon Ingram starting for team USA? Yes.
Are most of the guys on that level (LeBron and Durant) older than him? Yes. Tatum is probably the only other SF that would start for team USA.

I don’t say this to be mean, but to say that my NBA IQ is evidently and vastly superior to yours, in every way, is an understatement.

That lack of self awareness though...he has no clue

Tatum is the only other one he said....

What are you talking about? I was giving you positive support.

Uh huh, sure.

Congrats.

You respond to me when I want you to. I take it easy on you because you’re very fragile, defensive even about your terrible posts, that you routinely double down on.

---

Yep and I will keep doing it that way.

Do you really think I'm fragile? There is nothing on here I take remotely personal. I'll argue and debate 50 to 1, don't care about name calling or a 100+ down votes. None of that bothers me. I kind of like it. The back and forth is great.

I'm just not getting banned for being a part of a conversation where you are casually throwing out hate speech/terms. I don't want to be associated with any of that. That's always been why I avoid you when you start spinning out.

That you attempt to back the counter argument into “100% certainty” when you are making the claim he is out of the league with the “numbers being on your side” despite no hard explanation on why he would is a bad faith argument

I've explained over and over. People just don't want to see it. Not my fault.

quote:

---

Meh, I don’t spend my time on this board shitting on players (for the most part)…

And there we go. This is not or has never been an indictment or attack on Ingram. Calling someone injury prone is not an attack.

Seriously. A quick misspelled meme or bad faith out of context video can get the internet riled up and all of a sudden you’re over 100k views or clicks. Use your talent of not understanding basketball, then pretending that you do, to get a little extra cash. I believe you can do it. I’m rooting for you.

Thanks. I'm literally at like 3 posts a day and I'm old. So probably not going to be a career. But I appreciate the well wishes, as insincere as they appear to be. I'm glad we can leave on good terms.

None of this makes any sense.

Name the other American SFs who start over Ingram who are not 10 years older than him.

Tatum is one. Who else?

Clearly.

What hate speech have I used? How are you defining hate speech? If I throw out hate speech why am I not banned?

I popped in this thread and saw the gang bang going on and wanted show some support at first, but you wanted 51 to 1 instead of your normal appetite of 50 guys.

It is sincere as your post claiming ingram is regressing and will be retired by 30.

I am glad you are positive. But we aren’t leaving, are we?

So this the full court press?

No one knows WTF you're talking about now, weird shite from you here.

THE FULL COURT PRESS...try to make sense with your words from here on out, pro tip for you.

quote:

Who else would you have starting over BI for Team USA?

quote:

---

35 year olds aren't the ones starting for Team USA.

---

I'll just repeat myself in hopes that by the 8th or 9th time you read it that you'll figure it out.

There was a game involving Team USA last night. A basketball game. In a basketball game, 5 guys start. That basketball game last night, 5 guys started. Wanna guess how many were 35 year olds? Go for it, take a guess.

You had no clue Team USA played a game last night and started 5 guys but are ranting about your basketball IQ, that's hilarious.

quote:

---

Maybe slow down and comprehend.

Sometimes the full court press gets a team burned.

---

The crawfishing has now begun.


5 dudes started a game last night. None were 35. But according to you, BI is the only non 35 year old who could do that, not the other 4 that did that just 12 hours ago...while you talk up your basketball IQ



The dude brmark who you love to say doesn't know hoops even correctly pointed out how dumb that statement was, and that obviously got under your skin, and now here you are going off instead of just admitting you did not realize Team USA played a game last night in which 5 non 35 year old dudes started. Would be real easy to just admit the obvious but you'll continue to dig and make yourself look foolish.

There are maybe 2 others American wings who would start over Ingram.

---

Kawhi, Tatum, and Jimmy Butler are no brainers. Booker, Edwards, Jaylen Brown, Paul George, and Donovan Mitchell would probably get the nod over Ingram. And an argument could be made for Lavine or Mikal Bridges.

---

Half of those aren’t wings. Paul George had a career altering injury playing for team USA so he’s out. Kawhi Leonard is never healthy enough to play in the summer. Jaylen Brown no, but I can see some people going for him. As for Jimmy Butler, maybe I think Ingram is a better passer than he is.

ETA: Bridges is a coin flip, I’ll give you that.

quote:

---

Can tell me how old the other 4 starters were? Or would you like to deflect and crawfish from that question. Go ahead, other 4 starters ages, what were they?

---

Jesus Christ shel the implication was wing players in the nba. Ingrams position. Hence why another post to respond with a list of wings. This is you being obtuse.

It's actually you not understanding the difference between the FIBA team and the Olympic team. That's rather obvious, the question is will you admit that you didn't realize this.

Can you tell everyone who started at SF in the Final Round in 2019 for Team USA? Or nah?

---

Your blood thirst has you jumping out of the pocket. We are talking 2023 Team USA. There are 2-3 guys who would start for Team USA in 2023 ahead of Brandon and those guys are mostly 10 years older than him.

Brandon was also coming off the major healthy scare, if memory serves me correctly. That 2019 team also finished 7th , so one could say their starters weren’t great, probably lesser players than Brandon Ingram in 2023.

Your argument is very weak.
How many other American wings are starting over Brandon in 2023? Since you’ve dodged the question I asked before.

Fair warning: I won’t check back for your replies until 7pm CST at the earliest. But I will respond to you reply. Family first.
