Wiggins doesn't have any internal motivation, even though he has all the talent in the world.

In the least bit Zion won't be as complacent.

I'm not saying it's a negative, or that he doesn't have other traits that make him great... I'm saying the previously gawked over "he dribbles so great for a big man, passes so well for a big man" etc are traits that are pretty standard across the board for a modern 6'6" player.

Nets’ new court looks pretty sweet on TV.

The pictures did it no justice at all.

Haven't seen it yet, but yeah the colors look clashy on pictures.. probably due to how it blends with lighting.

Look don't compare some passive player vs probably the most hustle I've seen from a player with that much talent in a very long time. You'd be lucky to get Wiggins to actually use his talent.

I didn't like it when I saw it in 2k. And I sure don't like it live. Especially in comparison to the old one. It looks weird. I don't know what they were going for.

And the Nets are letting this team hang around.

My bad.... I didn't even see your post. I was just flaming pissed reading his post lol. Totally agree lol

I say wait until he plays. And then make an assessment. Don't look at his height and then say I don't know.

I actually love the new court more than the original. Plus the on the Coogi nights I think we're supposed to have slight variants with the biggie crown and the Coogi trim along the lines which will probably look badass. That's if ND and Lowe is too be believed
