AD gonna have a great season ❤ I think lakers gonna win 🏆 this are year let’s goooo
Why does this question come up so much. Yes.
Since when he was a center?
Who cares. Everyone knows he’s going to play less than 30 games
The Lakers are best with AD at the 5
AD always been and will be a 4 to me. Lakers better with him at the 5.
Love Perk’s Take & Perspective however, AD is not a “Big Guard”. AD can’t consistently bring the Ball up the Court and based on His Numbers, is not a Deep Threat. I do think AD is gone Average 27+ Points and Shoot 35%ish from Deep in DHam’s System if He stays Healthy.
In My Opinion, AD is a Small Forward in a 6’10/6’11 Body.
If AD does start or finish some Games @ Center, that doesn’t mean He has to play Center the entire Game.
And, I’m a LAker’s 🟣🟡 Fan!!!
Only if he brings them a championship this year otherwise let him go to Boston they'll pay him
Why'd they bring the wicked witch of the West back? Lol 😂😂😂
LeBron James played center last year, I don't want to hear it AD
Ad needs to play the 3. Anything else, and Mr Glass is going to get injured.
••what is the best way to make money from crypto trading?🤔✓
Yes, position-less basketball but a big man should be able to use a size-advantage inside. AD has not learned big man footwork, fakes, and moves around the basket. His awkward steps, jumping, and landing risk injury more than you'd see with a player who's learned the skills. It's one reason he might not like the five but also doesn't know what needs to be done to make it better. That's the glass ceiling here.
Same
Mali Ka doing what she is supposed to… Read the card then let others talk. She can stop pretending she knows basketball. Nobody wants her opinion.
Doesn’t matter if David wants to be play the 5, he’s the one guarding Big Embiid, he’s the one guarding Greak Dynamite, he’d be the one guarding Big Jokic, man’s needs to strap his nuts on, and play ball.
I get where Perk is coming from. He was actually a center. A center is a specific role in basketball. Perk prided himself on fulfilling that specific role. Right now, a lot of teams don’t play center. Which is totally fine. But we need to stop conflating numbers with positions. 1 does not mean point guard. Steph curry plays the 1 but Draymond runs the point. If they got rid of zone defense like the NBA was played for a majority of its time, there wouldn’t be positionless basketball anymore. They would habe to man up and all of a sudden, you’d understand what these guys are talking about when they say skill.
AD can never be compared to a guard. He gets himself injured doing guard moves.
How about "FRAGILE. Handle with Care". Does that work?
Awful Malika please go away
Glad to see Kp back on Tv
