This very hypocritical talking about Ace when Bronny declined drafted workouts and Rich Paul told teams not to draft him lol.

I hope he (Ace) proves everyone wrong, but I don’t see how his game translates to the league. He needs to definitely gain weight and he needs a lot of time to develop.

Rosenberg is the definition of whack. He has zero authenticity. A complete stooge and everything he says or does has a motive of kissing up to get more gigs.

To be considered in the GREATEST players of all time you need to win championships and be the main guy or even no. 2.
That is different to BEST players of all times that may not have won championships or maybe just one or two.
The difference is GREAT vs BEST…eg Allen Iverson – one of the best players of all time, Kobe – one of the greatest players of all time. Just different lanes

How can anyone say there’s a huge gap? They needed 7 games to beat The Nuggets and the Pacers. That one dude is a complete fool and shouldn’t be analyzing basketball. And NO ROOKIE has ANY say in where they go in the draft. They’ve done NOTHNG yet. The sense of entitlement is INSANE!

I don’t agree with Ace Baily but as a reminder…John Elway, Jim Kelly, Eli Manning, Steve Francis

I get the whole point from Joe, but the English Premier League dig is way out of line.
EPL has a way better system compared to American “franchised” sports. And yes, they do count titles. Why do you think the media has been trashing Arsenal? Because they didn’t win a league title in 20+ years…
You know what they don’t do?…Hand the trophy to the owners first when the TEAM wins the titles. Also, the fans have value in Europe. The fans mean nothing in America, unless it’s to be gauged by unrealistic prices.
