Whiteside is as dumb as a rock

Me and a homey wuz arguin one time about who could hoop mo betta. Finally, he sez: I can kick your sorry ***. I sez: I'm mo smarta than you homeboy.

Then we each proved our points. He kicked my ***, and I showed I wuz smart enuff not to argue with him no mo. We git along great now. He even trusts me with his money, the stoopid-*** chump.
 
He answered with some very strange responses. I'm just a little surprised he cant do a little better during the interview and just made me scratch my head, is this kid really ready for the big moment? BTW, they do factor interview's into their decision if you haven't taken notice

I didn't find the answers to be all that strange. The kid was clearly nervous and disappointed after what he believed to be his WORST workout. With his family's financial situation, I'm sure he feels the weight of the world on his shoulders. He probably knows that each 5 spots he drops (or moves up) is worth $500K/yr. That's a lot of pressure to handle at his age.

Look, this kid is not the most educated or polished in the world, but he did alright in the interview. What's wrong with saying he didn't think he did that good, is unsure how hard the transition is going to be until he actually gets there, but he just wants to work? He also said he's been working on his offensive moves and realizes blocked shots separate him from everryone else because everyone wanst to score but not everybody wants to play defense.
 
The way the media is treating Whiteside, you'd expect him to be a bit dejected and defensive. The kid could be a more skilled version of Jermaine O'Neal and yet he gets ripped on for going to Marshall and showing up to be measured as the tallest guy in the draft in flip flops. Who cares...

Listen to the Aminu interview and tell me how that's all that coherent. Greg Aldrich spoke about Greg Ostertag with mild admiration. To me that's scarier than anything Whiteside said.
 
After watching it a couple more times he seemed like he was really nervous but still his answers were way too short and didn't prove or really tell anything much about him. I'd much rather have udoh, Henry, Aminu, Sanders, George or even Babitt or Monroe

Your smarter than your friend? What is your friend? A rock?
 
The problem with the interview isn't how stupid he sounds, it's how overwhelmed he seems by the workout. It's totally unscientific, but he looks like a dude who is finding out painfully how much more skilled NBA caliber big men are. That doesn't mean he doesn't have talent or might not develop. It probably means he's playing against guys with technique, fundamentals, experience, and size where he's realizing he's a lot farther from ready than he thought.
 
Kinda off topic, but I'm a little curious. Is it racists, or non-racists, who always think that "chimps," is synonymous with black people, I forget?

The reason I ax is because I got another rep hit (for which I am extremely grateful, of course) in this thread. The accompanying comment was:

"Chimps? You're a racist tool."

This guy is as dumb as a rock. Dumb interview. What the hell is that on his head? What an idiot. Who would ever want to draft this crappy player?
