I'm pretty sure it's the Capital Center which is the new convention center. It's different than the Knick/Pepsi Arena but attached to it.
I assume this is about ON...I don’t think he did. In fact I think he quit posting before the migration.
Yeah, nobody knows who that dude is nor the mark he’s left on the game. They probably have Puma gear there too.
But kids typically follow specific players that are playing during their lives. I know who Wilt Chamberlain is, but there are a bunch more players I'm familiar with.
Good point. Still, I wonder about the power of that legend. He’s still discussed every time Lebron’s place in history comes up, so there’s always hat contextual relevance. And then there‘s the shoe/brand, and the game...
I would guess that the appeal of UNC to a kid in high school now would be more about the continued success and the long list of great players than it would be about a single great player that retired before the kid was born, even the GOAT. If UNC sucked the last 15 years, I don't it would matter that MJ went there. And I'm the biggest MJ fan around.
With Roy leaving and Hubert Davis taking over, one has to wonder if the UNC allure might be on trial with some players, AAU & prep school coaches etc?
I would think some would be taking a wait and see approach, similar to when Deane Smith retired. Any difficulty they had at that time was ultimately just a speed bump. We'll see if they can keep it going.
There were 2 other UNC coaches spanning 6 or so years between Dean Smith and Roy Williams - Bill Guthridge and Matt Doherty.
Yeah. They were the speed bump I mentioned.
True but the game and recruiting has changed - that’s why Roy left coaching. As Davis even said ‘“Things have changed. Kids have changed. The game has changed. We have to adapt. We have to get better,”We’ve got to go to the transfer portal and find big-time players that want to be a part of this unbelievable program that can play right away and be big-time players out there on the floor.” Davis and UNC as you stated will survive and in time probably thrive but they are going to rely on the portal much more than developing freshman players only to leave for other programs. UNC and Roy,Dean etc were known and excelled at stability in their roster and keeping kids there - I doubt untested freshman will be a priority to develop at UNC and many other big time programs.
This is FI-YAAAH!
So... Syracuse is Winterfell?
no its just a cool design lol
Thing I love about him and his game, is he's really steady... Doesn't get to hyped over good plays nor down on bad, very even other than an occasional release. We were laughing, because it might take a few minutes for your to realize he's going at you until 7-8 points later... because you didn't even realize you had pissed him off.
Yep, I agree. It's a different swag than the in your face, tell you about every little play, look at me kind of swag, but it is swag nonetheless. JJ looks like he knows he can score whenever he wants to. And, man he looks good in Orange, all these guys do. JJ, Chance, Justin and Flip. Orange is their color. And, obviously Kamari, but he already figured that out.
JJ and Justin with Kamari plus a Big would be a great class
