      @@SamueI12 I think Arsenal fans should really watch this because it shows Josh is hands on and he wants success, he''s just not as educated on soccer. He leaves the soccer operations to Edu who actually knows his stuff but as far as wanting to win they do value the club a lot. They've said it's their most valued team they have.

      @@eric9604 Nuggets, MPJ or any other of his family members besides his brother have nothing to do with the incident. Of course the Nuggets will stand by MPJ. And hardly a surprise MPJ will also stand by his brother. Has he denied his brother didn't mess up or would not deserve to be sentenced... No. In fact he said he understood what the other family was feeling, having initially thought it was his brother who was killed. But it wasn't like his brother committed murder. It was manslaughter. Obviously he messed up big time, and was sentenced for it. If you have an issue with the length of the sentence, take it up with the judge. Bringing this up here... pointing the finger at the wrong people.

    I remember this draft. Porter was falling due to the back, and because Denver was so deep with talent, they could afford to take a guy with injury questions and let him sit for a year. Good fortune combined with great drafting before this, allowed Denver to strike.

    • @jamiekoh6113
      @jamiekoh6113 8 месяцев назад

      Yeah, exactly. Obs gives credit where credit is due, but to be fair, it was free money for the Nuggets. They were trending upward with a deep-ass team already, so out of all the lottery teams, they were the PERFECT fit for MPJ because they probably would have been good with or without him that year or the next.

    Seems like betting on the guy being passed on because of injury concerns can be the ticket. Steph Curry would have been drafted higher but for ankle concerns. I told people when you got Aaron Gordon that when you got healthy Denver would not be stopped, easily the top starting five on offense and good defense too. I thought the bench was suspect, but otherwise saw no way Denver was losing last year. This year, Minnesota and OKC look great too, going to be a fun playoffs.

Compare that to the Knicks, where it's make or break, so you need to be more calculated on what they think can help them be better ASAP safely.
