Kobe was the best perimeter defender in the world from 1999-2012 when he needed to be. Little Carmine can't do anything to deny that. Dog sniffing be like thunder outside my house now.

 

Rodney Dangerfield definitely high on my list. Love that! I care more about him than Kobe!

    With Spears Jr. ... he is making a fair # in year one from what I hear. This wasn't a bargain recruitment for Texas. That was Austin Goosby who took half of what BYU was offering to be at Texas. But t

    Seems like we have good reason to have a thread to chat on all summer and through the season.    Team workouts begin June 1, I believe

    I do think Texas is potentially better at every position (not to start the season at SG), with one distinction ... Texas played two SF's last year and not a traditional 4 man, so they are combined.

Rodney was really funny, but he wasn't five time world champion. Don't know why you simply won't admit who was the best player in the world from 2000-2010.

Hey, Rodney Dangerfield finally got some respect!

You know what @Gerry Hamilton? Punks like you remind of protestors hazing my father serving three tours in Vitetnam from 1966-1972. Praising pansies like Curry. Sipping whine and thinking no defense losers like Curry could hang with shutdown defenders like Kobe. Do you really think Curry 2017 could hang with 2001 Kobe?

You have gone off the ledge. You went from Kobe Bryant and pivoted to the Vietnam war. Was Kobe in it? No

The ledge is where it's at. Do you win titles without going on a ledge? Don't care what goobers think. Posted again. Hug ass.

Don't think anyone would deny Kobe was a defensive dog. During the 2008 Olympics, Kobe Bryant surprised Coach K by asking to guard the best player on every opposing team. Bryant, then the NBA's top scorer, took zero shots in his first practice. He locked down opponents and set a tone that helped the Redeem Team win gold

Who’s Kobe Bryant? Baseball player right?

2000-10 I agree with you. That’s a different convo for the decade 

Lakers title teams with Shaq and Kobe… Shaq was the most dominant player in the world at that time.

How is Elijah Freeman looking? He was looking still very raw at Auburn

Has 1st round ability. Second jump explosion evident. Showing signs of being able to play in ball screen game … Will shoot it well enough

Biggest two aspects to improve going into the season are getting stronger and making more plays for others

There has been a major upgrade in guard talent on this team. Would he even crack the rotation?

Loved Chendall Weaver’s hustle and heart, but I think Amari Evans will provide that plus a more well-rounded offensive game.  Hopefully Texas finds a big to fill that last roster spot.

I mean the answer is Timmy, right?

If I told you a year from now when we're looking back at Texas basketball's 2026-27 season that:

  • Isaiah Johnson averaged 18 ppg
  • Matas Vokietaitas averaged 16.5 ppg
  • David Punch averaged 14.5 ppg
  • Austin Goosby averaged 11 ppg
  • Mikey Lewis averaged 10 ppg
  • Elyjah Freeman averaged 9 ppg

Would y'all believe that?

Freeman should/better score more than that … Johnson would be more 15.5’ish IMO because he has really good players around him

That’s 79 ppg from top 6 … say more like 76 and I could see it … Texas needs to be an 85.5’ish scoring team on low end, and 88.5/89 on high end.
