Kylie too

Meh, he's not Aussie. Born here, but basically never lived here. And chose not to represent Australia, so I don't consider him Australian.

Looking good for a medal at Rio at this rate...especially if Exum, Maker and Simmons kick on.

I actually haven't seen Dante play once, is he any good?

Hmmm he's good for a kid. I think he should have gone through college. But I'm not an expert. Can an American pipe up with the expert opinion?

Extremely poor rookie season

Yep, as I said, he should have gone through college. He's talented, but straight out of high school and the extra development time was probably needed.

41 starts from a rookie straight from high school isn't bad by any means. I also think you've overlooked his defensive game. But his offensive numbers for a first round draft pick on the other hand don't really stack up. I'm still keeping the faith. The kid is 19.

 

[ShiftyPowers]

His PER is comically low.

I don't watch basketball, although I've followed this season more or less. Watching some minutes of the game now and I have to say that Curry is extremely impressive. I get why so many people enjoy watching him. Dude has such a knack for making a sudden pull and scoring from anywhere.

He and his family are super cute, too.

 

[Mus]

There really isn't much to separate these two

Iggy has been really good

 

[ShiftyPowers]

LeBron is fucking amazing.

 

[MaestroZidane]

And Curry is impressive.

This Final is so far worth watching every minute, very enjoyable.

LeBron is fucking amazing.

Don't think the team bus will have left without Delly today either!

Curry not as impressive in game 2...didn't score a single basket when Delly had him on defence

Played very well today, so did Mosgov.

Haha yep. Well we can't have all the Aussies shining at once. Mosgov dominated Bogut.

 

[Mus]

First game of the finals that I will miss the majority of, damn

 

[ShiftyPowers]

LeBron is fucking amazing.
