My age determines how good I am at evaluating basketball?

No, but it really is determining your lack of ability to formulate proper, respectable responses to the points of PKM and myself. Your age is constructing this entertaining thought of pseudo-superiority-- instead of actively pursuing new opinions, throwing questionable predictions out there, with no fear, you instead place utmost focus on just being 'correct'. The strength of a person's arguments should never be focused on their past predictions-- it should be on their direct justification on the current point they are arguing at this point in time. PKM predicting that Xavier Henry would be the **** has nothing to do with the accuracy of his evaluations on the flaw of Jabari Parker, for example.

To me, this preoccupation with "always being correct" goes against the very fabric of intellectual discourse-- and it is a thought process for the insecure.

Oh and nice work on sticking up for your butt buddy Dala. I knew you two were inseparable, but this...wow. Just a little gay.

Still waiting on a proper, respectable response to the points that PKM and myself made. I know I'll get something, but Peeks won't.

Where's my apology, Hant? If you're intellectually honest you know your statement was, at best, poorly stated.

 

[UGLI baby]

Lmao.





The only reliable, informative eval I could ever get from you is from this coming year's potato crops.

The **** do you know about college ball, kid. You don't know ****-- you're barely older than I am. What is your pedigree? Your credentials? Being 'correct' on your over-conservative predictions that rarely deviate from popular opinion-- and then you pine on others when they're wrong (for making going out on limbs-- which is bound to happen)?

Sick 'eval skills', toots. Better off sticking to being an expert on Montana agriculture tbh.

Another satisfied customer...

First off, I've never said that I'm always correct. It's player evaluation, nobody is ever always correct. If you look through my posts, you can find multiple times when I've said I was wrong on guys. Being wrong never bothers me, because if I realize that I was wrong, it means that I've probably found out what the right answer was, and that is far more important.

As for you, you were trying to use my age, my "credentials" and my "pedigree" as a basis on whether I'm qualified to judge players skills or not. I don't think I'm better than you, I just don't care about you. I'm just confident in what I say. I feel like when it comes to basketball, I know what I'm talking about. You don't have to agree with me, it doesn't matter.

And as for my "overly-conservative" predictions that never stray from the popular opinion...well, like you said, what do my previous predictions have to do with anything? You just argued against one of the first points you made. If you still think that they were always overly-conservative, I urge you to go revisit them. I was one of the first to say Damian Lillard would be a star in this league (this was when he was still predicted to go in the late 1st) and I was one of the only ones to stay consistent that Austin Rivers would do very well in the league (which clearly, I was wrong about). I was one of the few to hate on Harrison Barnes, and one of the few on this board at least to hate on Kendall Marshall consistently. If you wanna call me out buddy, you better get your facts straight first.

But you know what the really funny thing is to me? This started out with me joshing with PKM a little on how much he hates Kansas, when he then responded by telling me how much more he knew about HS/College basketball than I did, and I disagreed with him. Then you come running in because heaven forbid somebody disagrees with your precious PKM. This was never about you buddy, but you decided you needed to throw yourself in the ring for an argument that doesn't matter. That's the funny part.

I don't have an apology for either of you, and I'm not back pedaling either.

Lets not forget that only one of us has provided any actual data here, and it sure as hell ain't you Dala.

You have this weird obsession with PKM man. Like seriously, it's weird as hell.

And you always bring all your other group members up. I'm not sure why you're seeking their approval, but if your self-esteem is that low, it isn't gonna get fixed online bruh.
