@@chrishunt9675 how can a player who can’t dribble effectively be a playmaker! ? RJ was THE WORST finisher in the entire nba only behind lakers Russell Westbrook! RJ was misused AT TIMES, he also is a very limited NBA forward/Wing! Can’t dribble, can’t shoot, again, worst finisher at the rim, slow on defense….. RJ is an Old School Center in a Wing’s body! I like the kid but we can’t just flood over the many things he was literally TERRIBLE at!
@@the77th Not sure if you watched him at Duke or in Toronto but he’s a much better player than he’s showed in Ny under Thibs system. When is the last time you saw a lob to Mitch? You might have to go back to RJs days.
@@chrishunt9675 the Knicks have ranked dead last in pick and roll for the roll man for 2 straight years ! DEAD LAST in team assists for 2 straight years…. Also Brunson has been the most ball dominant player in the ENTIRE NBA for 2 straight years while Randle was the most ball dominant big in the entire nba the year before he got injured! Trust me, I HATE Thibbs offensive system……. and yes, RJ wasn’t the best fit in that suffocated system… BUT , RJ himself also extremely flawed … especially in the modern nba and for the amount he gets paid! As a wing you HAVE TO be able to AT LEAST effectively break a defender down with your dribble which RJ can’t do! Keep in mind, OG Anunoby’s ball is actually WORSE than RJs but OG doesn’t demand ISO play! He plays off ball in constant motion! RJ is a Julius Randle as a wing! In the modern space and pace fast paced game, RJ can put up numbers but you’re not winning many games with him as a focal point of your offense or defense!
I love RJ. I’m not surprised that he would produce like this when utilized to the skill set that made him the 3rd pick. I’m happy he got away from NY. Even though I miss him putting on the Knicks jersey, we never utilized him properly and were going to not allow him to be the player he will be in Toronto. At least I get to watch him ball out every night with Toronto.
@@emersonssbblmaoo people have definitely gotten more stupid but the boy Chris opinion still valid. Just hilarious to call it a risk when isnt it the point
RJ not missed. He was awkward clunky. All he wanted to do was score and well not efficiently 😢. OG can hit corner 3's and is the superior defender. Better fit fir Knicks 😅
I absolutely miss RJ!!! I also absolutely miss my brother, IQ!!! RJ has a good attitude, can ball, has a great work ethic (part of a good attitude), has a lot of personality, and the cool voice I've always coveted, lol. I didn't like when he got in my brother's face, Obi Toppin. I was more disappointed when my brother, Obi cussin' Head Coach Thibs out. I think RJ, along with his competitiveness, did a good job attempting to reach his contract incentives while being a team-first player.
@@bigblue2723 you’re right we do but him is not enough. We need a Center who’s not hurt all the time and somebody like Julius Randall but a little bit better.
I stopped watching as soon as u started putting Mellow down to uplift Jalen Brunson, who I love. You sound like a typical Citiot . And I’m not down with ur divisiveness✌🏿
Melo* is my favorite player of all time. I'm not putting him down, I'm saying Brunson is gonna surpass him on the all time Knicks list at this rate. That isn't putting Melo down, it's putting into perspective how good Brunson is. It's called context
RJ was bland,he was the 3rd best player when brunson got thete but no Allstar appearance for a player who could be the guy doesn't make him a missed player for me
We don’t have a single bad contract ? 😂 have you taken some time to look at OG anunoby’s injury history? We HOPE it isn’t a bad contract but to say that we don’t is kinda CAP! we don’t know that yet ,
I agree with you but I understand why we gave him the bread and I'm at peace with it if he isn't plagued by injuries.... which we all know, he will be. All we can really hope is those injuries come and go quickly and at the best times.... but my heart tells me, that time he spent in Toronto as a young player with that one year with Kawhi, he learned some things and we might be seeing them over here. They got alot of similarities.
@@emersonssbb one team’s bad contract doesn’t make another team’s bad contract better! There are not trophies nor banners for “best contracts”! Trophies are won by smart front offices! Celtics won with Kristaps missing many games… they also aren’t paying him $40m a year which left them with room for more depth ! Raptors won with OG missing the entire playoff run because he was still on a rookie contract then….. yes, he was even injured then…. HOPEFULLY, he won’t miss 50% of his games like he did last season! We can’t afford that anymore! His new contract is now double of what it was before… salary cap increase won’t save us either !
@@Jcrysis I just hope the dude can stay healthier than his past! We are RIGHT THERE at the cusp of winning a championship! Health and a little bit of offensive adjustments by coach THIBBS and a ring is in our very near future! We MUST win very soon because there are some young rosters ready to strike within a year or 2! Everyone is talking about OKC, I’m looking at those Houston rockets! They are about to be a PROBLEM! I’m ready for championships! 51 years is a long @$$ wait 😭
I liked your perspective and RJ is one of the strangest NBA players I have watched and I have been watching the NBA for over 20 years. There are nights where he looks like a bonafide superstar/all star player and then other nights when he looks lost and like he forgot how to play. His game is so inconsistent. If he could ever develop some consistency and improve his 3pt shot a little more, he is a very solid player and definitely could contribute on a championship team. I never hated him but I never loved him either. He was NOT the right fit for this team and you were able to see that too so I give you props. Liked and unsubscribed!
That, "to that guy who hangs out in the bathroom of MSG comment..." had me a little scared.....but I guess you saved it and brought it back on track, Chris. Good putback
Dude I won't lie, I realized exactly how that sounded and was like "oh nonono" because I was gonna say using the bathroom but then said hangs out so I was like I need to fix this NOW😂😂😂
This is a ridiculous video. The Knicks never had a competent organization in the 90s. We just had a good team a decent players with a winning coach. This is a fugazi!! We have no Superstar and a bunch of role players. Ask yourself this question how do you set yourself to win for the next 5 years when your coach will be 70 in 3? Stop the madness, do your research!! STOP LISTENING TO THE MEDIA!! SAME OL KNICKS!!
Are you comparing Brunson to Melo? 😅😂That's not very tough competition considering Melo needed a 40 y.o J.Kidd to make it to the second round!! This organization is a joke!! Brunson is a role player. And Melo was a selfish overrated player that no one wanted to play with. Not even his boy LeBron. This is nothing to be happy about with this team. We aren't winning a chip!! We aren't going to the ECF!! We will just be playoff bound like our coach!!
RJ was misused in Ny imo. He’s a playmaker @ heart and a 25 8 and 6 guy. Wish him the best!

As a Knicks fan I did like RJ but once we traded him we gotten better especially defensively so I’m happy it worked out for us plus for Toronto.

chris rock said, pat reilly may not get you to the promised land, but he'll get you in the playoffs. The 90s were great. Always in contention.

How is it a risk contending for the next 4 or 5 years. So 90s knicks were risking contending for 4 or 5 years.
Exactly, what's he talking about.
Lmaoo 😂😂 thats what im saying how is it a risk to try and win a ring 😂😂 common knicks yall got this..love from raptor land

The only misstep was them thinking it was going to be easy to replace IHart .
Well they offered him the most money they could. And someone paid him 10million more a year.. sooo yeah

Have seen rj doing everything you guys said he wasn’t playing for the Raptors… that kids a stud, you guys should’ve given up on him
@@rapslove9873 We did though and eventually Canada will too 😆

RJ just needs to focus on his game for the Raptors and help get them into the playoffs!
No risk = no reward
Love OG!!!!, but RJ & Quickly were not injury prone.
Thibs did not know how to use RJ or most of the other young players. It's good that the Knicks traded him.
You guys should trade Randle for Ingram
I like JR's fit better tbh. He's attacking the paint more and has been awesome when doing that with great spacing
They had a great organization in the 90,s but thanks to Reggie Miller and Michael Jordan. They both gave us hell.
We need a superstar point blank and without one there is no chip
We have Brunson brotha
