@king of cali Resident idot, that's rude. I said he was well on his way to being a bust, I was wrong.
Brandon Ingram well on his way to being another Duke NBA bust

Well, at least one guy called it right.
Thanks for bumping this thread so I can toot my own horn. I am SO awesome!

He's like Elton Brand... good player on a sh*t team that is getting great numbers because someone has to score pts.
Put Ingram on a playoff team and his numbers would have to drop quite a bit .

They would drop a bit on a good team, but it's still clear that he's a damn good NBA player, and close to an All Star, who keeps getting better.
Starting a thread labeling him a bust was a big fat failure by the OP.

I actually like Brandon Ingram, which is a never for almost anybody who plays for those two programs. Can't remember ever liking a cheats player. Anyway, Ingram has all the same stylings of Richard Hamilton and a Sean Livingston that didn't shatter a knee (still one of the most disappointing injuries, had such great hopes for him).
Ingram's situation at Nola isn't perfect by any stretch but if they can manage a few years with Zion before he literally turns into a pumpkin with a big flat spot he can't roll from, who knows?

He wasn’t alone. Plenty of posters agreed with that take, and you even had one declare that Skal would be better than Ingram. That’s how absurd the Duke hate is on this board.
Ingram's performance is quite volatile. He will have a big game here and there, but he has his fair share of duds. After dropping a monstrous 49, he has had poor performances in 3 out of his last 4 outings. He's still a season or 2 away from becoming an All Star caliber player if he ever does.
Labeling him a bust? Can you read? I said he was well on his way to being a bust because of his poor performance at the time of the original post. You get so angry when people criticize your precious dookies or Ball family member.
I hate Duke and much dislike Lavar Ball (I'm indifferent toward his sons). Anything I posted in this or the other thread has nothing to do with my personal opinion of either.
Instead, the issue is simply you being wrong.
Nah, you love Duke, thats why you spend so much time defending the abnormal amount of busts they have in the NBA. Not only do you defend them, you do it by putting UK guys down. This explains your smugness, you're a Duke guy.
Says the other guy who loves to defend his boy crush while putting UK guys down. You swore up and down KAT wouldn't be an All Star. The fake UK fans are on one today.
Why is a post from 2017 being drug up on Brandom Ingram of all people?
A Duke guy who is now in the NBA? What's the point?
No one here likes Duke. However, some hate Duke to the point where they post irrational things, that is acceptable because we all hate Duke, right? What am I missing?

Playing like he is now he will have to be judged on his Euro stats at 25.
Well OP is not very smart, especially when it comes to the NBA (a year or so ago he went on many tantrums guaranteeing that the Lakers would NEVER get two super stars/ max contracts guys (they almost got 3 with Kawhi lol)
Look at this thread. He was wayyyyy off and some people (OP) need a little help and some reminders to eat their crow.
OP-> we all hate Duke with a passion but you should just delete this thread to save embarrassment.
love you Keyser
We are all wrong on occasion though. I suppose I'd have to see OP's track record, but I'll take your word for it.
I've stated I think Zion will be a star and his career won't be derailed by his weight....we shall see!
Here's the 3rd blind mice, also the dumbest poster on this board. No stupid, I didnt say the Lakers would never sign 2 max players, I said the Lakers didnt have enough cap space to sign 3 max guys back when dummies like you said they would. Youre just too stupid to understand the concept of cap space.
Youre the same dummy who got mad when I said the Nazi in Charlottesville ran that girl over on purpose, you started crying about why don't I attack the other side. Remember when you got mad that I jumped on the Nazis are bad train and said "Short answer - being incredibly hypocritical, jumping in on the "nazis are bad!" train (conveniently right after the Charlottesville stuff happened ) while completely ignoring and refusing to admit the political terrorist organizations of the left." Proving yet again that youre the dumbest poster on this board.
Youre the next biggest Duke defender on this board next to UK90, you cry everytime i call one of their players a bust probing yet again, youre the dumbest poster on this board.
Just an FYI but saying Brandon Ingram was well on his way to being a bust at the time wasn't way off, he was awful as a rookie, and off to a terrible start his 2nd year. The thing is you have to apply context and look at the situation at the time, thats something you're too stupid to do.
Oh and BTW, Nazis are bad, they're trash in fact.

He also calls me a nazi lol. He’s... unique.
Look how much my comment triggered him? He just wrote several paragraphs... then... insinuated I was a Nazi (again).
Maybe I’m biased but for awhile there after he was proven wrong about the Lakers/ max contracts... and everyone was roasting him he followed me around for a couple months replying to my comments calling me a Nazi or Nazi sympathizer based off a thread like 2 years ago about Charlottesville (yet can’t provide anything that validates his claims)Pretty sure everyone knows nazis are racist vermin scum.
But who does that? Who throws around the word Nazi so loosely? Maybes it’s a bit of projection.
OP. Brother. We are all wrong sometimes (obviously some more than others...)
Take the L. Admit this thread was way preemptive. Eat your crow. It’ll be okay. Truly. Doubling down and throwing tantrums just makes you look weaker than you already do.
It’s okay to be wrong.

Why are you worried about me Nazi sympathizer? Speaking of embarrassment, you might want to delete your comments in the Charlottesville thread. Are you denying that you cried about me jumping on the Nazis are bad train and said, "Short answer - being incredibly hypocritical, jumping in on the "nazis are bad!" train (conveniently right after the Charlottesville stuff happened ) while completely ignoring and refusing to admit the political terrorist organizations of the left." Please tell me that you're denying you said that, and I will link the post.
BTW, Nazis are bad.
It is stupid to drag up a 3 year old post as things change . I do agree calling someone that early a bust is silly but I have done it myself. Hate can cloud one's mind like the dark side of the force LOL
Oddly enough, the guy who started the thread in 2017 is the same one who bumped it in 2020. I'm not sure why he wanted us all to see his bad take all over again, but it seems that he did.
Oh, jeez, there it is again. You've been playing this same silly dumb game for years and years. You'll say things that are simply wrong, and then when people dare to disagree or correct you, you falsely accuse them of being fans of rival teams.
It's like this weird little form of message board McCarthyism that reveals more about your character than that of the posters you falsely accuse.
You've been defending Duke for years, whenever someone calls one of the numerous Duke busts in the NBA you start crying then "whataout" UK players. Call it what you want but you've done it time and time again. Harry Giles, Jahlil Okafor, Jabari Parker, all supposed to ne next level generational talents, all busts, all defending by you by putting down UK who nearly as highly regarded like Marcus Lee and Dakari.
Hard concept to grasp when youre an angry message board poster. At the time the kid was well on his way to being a bust, congrats to him for turning his career around but it didnt look good early on.
This is bullshit.
But I believe I do remember the other thread you're thinking of. It was one where a poster had included guys like Luol Deng and JJ Redick on a list of supposed Duke "busts." I called that out simply because it's batshit stupid to claim that guys like Deng and Redick were busts, NOT because I like Duke.
Just because we hate a team doesn't mean it's OK to make up flat out bullshit about their former players.

You're getting angry again about your precious dookies. My whole point is Duke keeps getting these elite recruits when so many dookies turn out to be busts on the NBA. That's not acceptable to you since we have bust too. Well our NBA players far succeed Duke guys in the NBA and we've spent the last 5 years struggling to sign top 5 guys while dook has been pulling them in at will. Let me stop with the actual issue because we both know you don't want to talk about the actual issue, you just want to argue with me to fit in with your raftard buddies. Just like you did when defended gossiping and spreading rumors with Delonte West and Gloria James, a practice that you know is wrong, but you defended to fit in.

This is a messge board, not a tennis match. You just share thoughts and opinions here, its not a game that you win or lose.
If I go back through this thread, which one of you made the call that Brandon Ingram would be this good?
Oh, none of you? Got it.
Jesus Christ, bringing up a 2017 thread, especially one trashing a college player we all root against, is such a woman thing to do.

Once again, the guy who brought the 2017 thread back is the same one who started the thread and had the bad take, it was NOT someone trying to call him out for it.
You'll have to ask him why he did that, but this thread did not come back for the reason you seem to think.
It’s not about predicting if Ingram would be this good. It’s about the stupidity declaring someone a bust 1 game into his second season. After a season where he played better in the 2nd half than the first.
But in this very thread you said that Skal could be better than him, so i understand why you wouldn’t want it brought up again.
Wrong. At least one guy saw it coming:
But, in fairness, that UK90 guy is, like, super duper smart.
More like the stupidity of not grasping the difference between well on his way to being a bust and declaring someone is a bust. You're just too stupid to get it and trying to score raftard points. If i say I'm on my way to work I'm not declaring that im at work, I'm decaring that the present circumstances suggest I'm on my way to work just like the present circumstances suggested Brandon Ingram was on his way to being a bust.
