  • Co-hosts Andre Iguodala and Evan Turner welcome a key player on the defending Eastern Conference champions, point guard PAYTON PRITCHARD. A four-time state champion as a high school player in Oregon who then had a successful four-year college career at the University of Oregon, the 25-year-old Pritchard is now a key bench player for a Celtics team that has legit NBA title aspirations. Standing just 6-1, with the CREAM-colored skin Andre and Evan are curious about in the NBA, Pritchard discusses overcoming all sorts of doubters to make it this far on the strength of hard work and a very deep “love of the game,” and how he feels like he’s just getting started.
    The Point Forward podcast, hosted by former NBA teammates and current best friends Andre Iguodala and Evan Turner, uses basketball as a pretext to honestly and openly talk about business, culture, race, tech, and, yes, sports. Specifically, over the course of weekly hour-long episodes that drop on #pointforwardfriday, Iguodala and Turner, discuss and debate current national and global events in a way that is meant to resonate with everyone from the Silicon Valley elite to teenagers on the south side of Chicago.

    So I’ve always liked all three of you guys because of your skill and class; P extra right now bc I live near Boston. But…what was really impressive was the raw talk about not “seeing color” and Andre and Payton each sharing their different but related experiences with balancing race, friends, school and growing up. Really touching, honest and cool. I wish all of America was this hip. Everyday people.

Keep up the great ball pressure and PLEASE push the ball. The offense is running way too slow. You guys are at your best when you’re playing uptempo and controlling the pace.

      The largest West Linn racial/ethnic groups are White (81.1%) followed by Hispanic (7.9%) and Asian (5.6%).
      West Linn has an overall crime rate of 12 per 1,000 residents, making the crime rate here near the average for all cities and towns of all sizes in America. According to our analysis of FBI crime data, your chance of becoming a victim of crime in West Linn is 1 in 86.

    Some channels are taking what he said as he wants to get traded. He didn’t say that, he just wants a bigger role like any other young player. If he was just 3 inches taller he would be much more effective on D. His offense is good though, he should practice his floater more though. It’s the best shot to learn if your shorter. His jumper is clean and his dribbling is good too. He can create his own shot or spot up and shoot. I can see he get nervous some games but that’s natural. If I was him I would put on like 15 lbs of muscle, that will help a lot with his D.

    All the people mad at Payton for his comments about wanting a bigger role: 🤡. They don’t understand that if he stays a 3rd string PG and never gets the opportunity to become more than that, that is eventually going to be used against him by teams. He gets the benefit of the doubt now (team he’s on and age) but that won’t always be the case. And a 3rd string PG is almost always viewed as replaceable by teams -> out of the league.
