    Those two should be locked in Rucker Park the whole summer

    Last year, Amen and Ausar came to a gym in my newly adopted home called The Embassy which was founded by Jose Calderon. I'm hoping they come back and that there's some way to get in to watch.

    Does other “gurus” count. Or just “hoops gurus?”

    Reed needs an HGH regimen for the summer and a sports psychologist.

    Amen needs to work on his handles as much as his shot. I was more shocked about how loose his dribble was as the lead.

    Pistons hired shooting coach Fred Vinson in 2024, likely available to Asaur. Amen can pretend to be his brother and get free lessons in the summer.

    Wemby's PR team is working overdrive. He spends a week with the Shaolin monks, and now martial arts is on his résumé. o_O

    He's a great baskball player, some of this other stuff is heading towards the level of Chuck Norris facts. :D

    No way. Amen can and would dominate on sheer athleticism and experience and risks injury against a lot of out of control wannabes.

    He needs to be drilling and drilling and drilling and drilling on dribbling and shooting. Then play hundreds of games against quick guards doing a full court press and where he isn’t allowed to shoot inside the three point line.

    When Wemby palms his face, he’s actually palming the face of god.

    Why would you trust a guy named BRICK-ley for your shooting?

    All the 2000's and 10's guys (including Dickerson ) just hooped all summer. Harden, Westbrook, they just hooping. I dont know who finessed people into thinking specialization beats simulation but the results show alot of "skill" and athletic but no iq players get outplayed by ymca gym rats

    We should all be praying they stay far away from whoever Jalen Green works out with in the summers.
