Jabari Says it Would be a Blessing to be a Laker... SMYH

[cowhide]

I hate how people bring up that he's mormon so that's why we want him. Yeah it's be cool and all, but I want to get him cause he's a freakin good basketball player with a lot of potential. I'd be incredibly happy getting wiggins, embiid, or exum as well.

Well I am sure that it is common knowledge that he is LDS besides the fact that you have to be in denial if you don't believe that it isn't part (major) of why some Jazz fans want him here. Same with Jimmer. I don't think the Jazz organization think that way but I am sure there are many mormons who do.

I don't want him or exum since they have a desire to be part of the evil empire. LOL. I think most kids grow up wanting to be Lakers, Celtics, Bulls and even Knick players. I am sure he was just saying what all players say this time of year. I would love to be.. Insert team name..

Didn't want Jimmer, wouldn't mind Jabari. But Wiggins is #1 on my draft board. Guess that makes me a bad Moron.

I would have to say Kobe's problems with Howard is that Howard is one, among a decent handful, of pseudo stars. That is, guys with phenomenal talent but lack a significant amount of mental and emotional strength to make them elite competitors. It's those intangibles that legitimately separate guys like McGrady from Kobe or Howard from Duncan. I would no anticipate any problems with Kobe and Jabari. I would, however, anticipate potential problems between Kobe and Wiggins.

I understand the point you're making here, but to nitpick the difference between Kobe and Tracy were injuries.

i like how because of religion utah thinks they own jabari parker. Maybe he doesn't see himself as the mormon hero of basketball?

**** you, you anti!

 

[yamers]

blessing to be a laker?

how about blessing to be on an nba team? there is people out there wishing they could be in the nba.

i dont like when players do that.

For the record, I am not LDS, and I prefer Wiggins, Exum, and even A. Gordon to Jabari. I just wanted to read everyone's reactions.

 

[Jazz4ever]

jabari isnt going 6th in this draft, so it is a moot point unless they get extremely lucky

So you consider around 30% "extremely lucky"?

Cool. What does that have to do with anything?

it has to do with the 3 or so comments about LDS fans having melt downs... thought it was obvious.

Honestly depending on Embiid's back, Exum's and Randle's workouts, and the lotto I can see Parker going 4th maybe even a minor chance he goes 5th. Parker isn't that crazy athlete that most GM's look for with greater upside.

Parker is definitely behind Wiggins and depending on how you feel about Embiid he could be behind him as well. Yeah, it would be great for Parker to play for the Jazz, but I definitely wouldn't take him over Wiggins.
