Reddish to the dukies has been reported, dukies get another top 5 guy, no surprise.
 
UK and Dook( UK EAST) are exactly the same school .....No difference at all. OAD factories
 
Honestly, I'm beginning to wonder if these kids even care about winning anymore. As long as they are praised for their abilities and get a fat pay check, do they even care? Remember, they've been brought up in a time when there are no losers and everyone gets a trophy.

Tripper Allen will lead the NCAA in tripping doubles next year. Duke has never done anything without an experienced senior big. Sweet 16 flameout.

I think they do care about winning, I think they care very much and is reason why they want to cluster at schools like duke and Ky. They are looking to play with other big time talents and play with and against these guys so they know and strongly value their talent. More experienced players, they do not play much with and frankly, may tend to under value the ability of experienced teams because their players were not one & done level talents. So they feel they can win more if they cluster together with other big timers and in doing so increase their NBA stock.

But the truth is just opposite to their perception, the clustering of 1&D kids does not increase the chances for getting that natty, playing with more experienced players does that. The 1&D guys do not want to come off the bench, they want to start and be featured because they believe that will as well show case their NBA value and increase their draft stock and they find that harder to do on deep experienced teams than on teams with a ton of holes left by early entry.

Look at Tony, truth is Tony was no where close to being NBA ready as an incoming frosh or frankly as a soph in college (IMO) but playing on the Natty winning team, coming off the bench while more experienced upper classmen lead the way, he got the NBA 1st round selection spot and that natty ring.
 
Yeah, Lord knows I'm all for poking fun at our neighbors down 15-501, but Reddick has done well. He and Mark Price are the two best shooters I've ever seen in the ACC.

As much as I hate to admit, because I really despised Redick when he was a dookie, he really did transform himself into a solid role player/starter in the NBA.
 
Facts have little to do with fandom! I have no problem hating on pukies and that punk arse was one of the worst!

I do like how he worked his tail off in the pros and became a solid contributor. His game is vastly improved since he left puke!

I think kids today want to win just like kids from past years. The difference is, kids today don't want to work for it. They want it NOW!! Gone are the days of young fellas coming into a program and being taken under the wing of a junior or senior. Gone are the days of guys earning their time on the court. These guys come to a school and expect to play major minutes right away. They don't want to come and contribute to the team culture that's been in place for years. They want to come in and be the reason a team wins. There is no "for the greater good" mentality anymore with today's kids. It's pretty disappointing.

He went on to make $40-50 mil in the NBA.

Allen Crabbe and Evan Fournier will both make over $50 million in the next few years. I'm not shitting on Redick but apparently if you have a pulse and have heard the word "basketball" at some point in your life, you too can make millions.

Redick has become a nice player. A lot of Heels fans doubted him being a consistent pro because of his size. But the NBA is all about specialties now. Redick is a terrific shooter and he's become an admirable defender. I mean, he's no Kyrie Irving on defense but he plays hard and puts in the effort. I never questioned his ability to stay in the league. I knew his shooting would keep him around.

As will Reddish, minimum.

So can we hold off on the lame nicknames?

Right? making fun of your rival requires neither accuracy or logic.

You're right...I wouldn't expect accuracy, logic, common sense, or decency from someone who has an anti-immigration avatar, a "your mom's house" location, and confederate statue on his sig.

I didn't know we were going to take it there but if you're feeling frisky, come over to OOTB and get kicked in the teeth. It's tons of fun. Snowflakes welcome.

Also, GFY.

Kicked in the teeth? We're on a UNC message board man. Grow up.

This is the internet, so actually kicking you in the teeth would be impossible. No need to be afraid. It was a metaphor. But I know how you types get.

Apparently you have some political commentary you wanted to share. I'll extend the invitation again. Would you like to come chop it up on OOTB? We'll be looking out for you.

You types? Man, you're a walking stereotype.

Again, you have two pieces of political commentary in your profile and you think I'm the one who wants to share it? Again...that whole logic thing...

We're done here.

You may be. But I'm not.

Right. I am sharing it. And I'm more than happy to entertain your thoughts on it. I've invited you a couple of times now to come over to OOTB, where this kind of discussion is welcome. But if you prefer, we can gum up the basketball board with political discussion. Or, you can make your snide comment and run. I'll wait to see which option you choose.
 
Dadika, he's an idiot. Move on.

I'm sorry but I'm not familiar with who you are. You apparently know my poasts here but I can't say your screen name rings any bells with me. So either you don't poast often or your thoughts on Carolina basketball are completely forgettable. But whatever the case may be, what's your beef, Holmes?
 
I'm assuming he is calling Dadika an idiot based on past history, but the punctuation does leave it ambiguous!

Are we still talking about Reddish or Reddick? The one sided arguments are hard to follow, lol!

I wouldn't call @dadika13 an idiot. Not yet at least. I'm trying to find out if he is but it seems as if he doesn't want to play.

We took a break from that when @dadika13 decided to comment on my avatar and signature. I was just following suit. I realize this is a basketball board and I prefer to chew the fat on religious and political stuff on OOTB. But he's forcing my hand here.
 
Considering I'm a former moderator who has been posting here since 2001, you may want to brush up on your "knowledge" there champ.

And seeing as how simple punctuation around here seems to be difficult to decipher- allow me to be clear: yes, I am calling YOU, GunSlingerDick the idiot. That is correct.

It's Mr. Lingerdick to you, Pal.
 
Done and done my man.

Just to recap,

- I made a comment about how rivals don't need a reason to hate each other
- @dadika13 felt the need to comment on my avatar and signature
- I told @dadika13 that I would be happy to discuss these issues at OOTB
- @dadika13 then acts surprised that he got pushback from his snarky comments and refusal to have more discussion about it
- I once again invite @dadika13 to OOTB where we can hash this out
- @dadika13 again tucks his tail and refuses to elaborate on his original comments that started the shit storm.
- some fella named @GoToHeelDook shows up and makes a weird poast
- @TPFKAPFS attempts to clarify poorly written poast
- @GoToHeelDook then writes another poorly written poast patting himself on the back for his years of service as a moderator and does indeed clarify that he was calling me an idiot.
- I responded with a humorous gif
- @dadika13 replies to @GoToHeelDook to say that he is done and done. He also calls @GoToHeelDook "my man". So I think we can assume that @dadika13 has heard of this @GoToHeelDook fella before. They might even be friends. Not sure.

New developments to this story:

- @Hark_The_Sound_2010 challenges @dadika13's thoughts on statues being political commentary.
- I make a comment implying that @dadika13 is more of a cat guy than a dog guy.

I'll update everyone later as more comes to light.
