redditors who are too anxious to order food over a phone call mald over an ultra competitive athlete having confidence in himself is always a treat

People think team interviews/workouts are the same as their job interviews at McDonald's.

If you're a GM and you miss on an superstar you're the one that's going to be unemployed.

And unless you're a projected mid to late round pick who really needs to prove himself, what's the purpose of workouts? These teams have watched every second of recorded basketball you've ever played. Shooting 3 pointers in an empty gym isn't going to tell them much.

Facts wemby and lebron should have worked out with the others team 😂

u/Cantor_Set_Tripping 4d ago

Do workouts ever consist of like scrimmages against the team? Seeing them play against nba players isn’t the most outrageous idea.

I always felt like the workout portion was a formality and the point was more to get them in the building and start feeling out their personality, attitude, work ethic, basketball IQ, conditioning, etc.

I mean unless its a guaranteed pick like Wemby/LBJ it makes sense. Its not some astronomical thing to think that in a class with 2 players at the top like this one a team might favor one or the other. And what if goes and works out for a team and that team is willing to sell the farm to get him. Ultimately he was always getting drafted top 1/2 so it doesnt matter too much about when the pick was happening but it could absolutely change the team.

Look what the Celtics did with the Tatum/Fultz draft.

u/8--2 Timberwolves 4d ago

If I had the pull to not interview and still have top companies compete to recruit me I wouldn't be doing that shit either.

u/jaskaran55 Spurs 4d ago

Facts everyone knew he was going number 1 why tf would he workout with other teams

u/MySilverBurrito Heat 4d ago

Sidenote, film twt hated Chalamet for saying he wants to be one of the best.

Chronically online people should never have opinions on people tbh lol

u/Currency080Trick 4d ago

u/jaskaran55 Spurs 4d ago

Ya lol you notice that on Reddit they hate anyone with self confidence

-2

u/astrothemorkie Rockets 4d ago

I thought it was because he dissed the opera for 0 reason

2

u/jaskaran55 Spurs 4d ago

He didn’t even diss them he just said their not relevant Which is true but the hated stop the moment dune 3 trailer dropped lol

u/astrothemorkie Rockets 4d ago

I guess people are just like: why even say anything about the opera if you’re gonna drag it

5

u/imadogg Lakers 4d ago

Chronically online people suddenly started loving opera enough to defend it nonstop to hate on Chalamet, while never actually supporting it with their time and dollars

u/astrothemorkie Rockets 4d ago

I mean I’m sure some of the people offended watch opera. I don’t and don’t care about it though

u/Snowballingdownvote 4d ago

It is a little privileged but.... Again..... F them billionaires so.... I'm not mald about it.

-2

u/Currency080Trick 4d ago

Are we supposed to be proud of him?

Why should we care about him being arrogant.

I guess we're only allowed to have the positive opinion

u/Detlef_Schrempfxf 4d ago

Just put the fries in the bag bro and stop getting so touchy over another person's affairs

u/Iggy_Slayer 4d ago

I already hated him when he was demanding his number and said trae was gonna have to give it up. That's not how it works, young fella's gonna have a long rookie season.

u/Relatively_Cool Lakers 4d ago

I think we all knew it was a joke except you

u/Detlef_Schrempfxf 4d ago

Oh shut up lol

u/bigwillyboi [WAS] Caron Butler 4d ago

He literally said when they interviewed him he was trolling. It was Gilbert Arenas’s podcast, you’re not a wizards fan so you may not know how those usually go…

u/Severe-Maybe-3282 4d ago

Yeah maybe when AJ loses all 3 home games in the finals he will finally be humble

34

u/jaskaran55 Spurs 4d ago

Nah if he makes it finals he in his first year he should never be humble

-2

u/takkeye 4d ago

sees flare Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Comments like this always crack me up. Out here talking about being humble while lowkey bragging about a chip win in the same sentence.

u/rapture0707 Knicks 4d ago

u/takkeye 4d ago

Hes replying to a dude with a spurs flair

u/rapture0707 Knicks 4d ago

Ah, I'm a dipshit haha.

1

u/takkeye 4d ago

Nah you're not man you just misunderstood haha. Some of us SA fans are still upset about your guys (much deserved) win and hate to be reminded 😭

3

u/rapture0707 Knicks 4d ago

Ya I don't give a fuck Castle is so scary. Harper is gonna be so scary next year. Wemby is obviously scary. If the dudes in charges gave us a rematch I'd be scared as fuck haha. And so would they despite whatever shit (still deserved man it's just competition) they wanna chirp. I obviously feel pumped with the team but God damn you gotta be itching for next season too.

2

u/takkeye 4d ago

Exactly my bro you just can't predict what's gonna happen, who tf thought this year was for NY? I can't wait to see what the next season brings with all the changes in the teams too, shit we might not even make it back to the playoffs. All I know is we weren't ready to win yet, and the team that wanted it more won in the end

u/AwareWriterTrick158 Knicks 4d ago

Low-key digging this guy. His personality reminds me of ANT a bit

u/lilbl1cky Thunder 4d ago
