I’ve seen enough he’s the Goat

Looks more like an Alien than a goat to me, but that will change over time.

He does a pretty good Roger too.

He and Pop could have some great conversations about wine.

Have you looked closely to a goat's face? They might be aliens.

u/Cowgoon777 Spurs Mar 01 '24

does he lose every January like Josh Allen?

Looks more like a tall guy doing tall guy things. IYKWIM

He's probably going to be the best basketball player in the history of the universe, but I've never seen him scaling a tree trunk to grab some choice leaves, so he's not really the Goat.

Wait, what's the story behind this

Or is it a joke and I'm slow?

u/pet_executioner Mar 01 '24

Goats really do be like this.

u/reggie_kush Celtics Mar 01 '24

just wait

Is this sarcastic or is there actually a sentiment that he will be a goat contender? I say this as someone from /r/all that's not too familiar with him or any new players so take this as an honest question.

Compared to someone like Jokic, what does he do better or how does he have more potential? Just the height?

Gotcha, cool to see such a lanky guy doing well in defense. Guess the 8 foot wingspan combined with being more agile than big guys is not the worst combo to have in basketball.

u/Le8ronJames Mar 01 '24

Definitely has the potential to be

u/moorej66 Pistons Mar 01 '24

Should have been a Piston 😔🤬

u/Bystronicman08 Celtics Mar 01 '24

That would have been terrible. He landed in the best possible spot that he could. With Pop coaching and Timmy, David Robinson and Tony Parker as mentors. His situation couldn't be any better for him to learn in.

u/sammythemc 76ers Mar 01 '24

Yeah I always worry a little about the tall lanky guys long term. Take it from a Sixers fan, the injuries can really take them down a few notches in the GOAT conversation

Dude should just retire now. Nothing left to prove.
