Yep and what did Iverson do ? Not Practice and not win a Chip he was too busy trying touring street instead of focusing on being great and voila he was out of the NBA maybe 3 years before he should have cause no teams wanted him.
Glad Ja is back, and I hope he realizes the responsibility he has, and how much he has to lose. Great player and great moment last night, but he has a long way to go before he's even in the conversation for face of the league.
Actually your wrong face if the league doesn’t mean best player ja brand and entertainment value is off the charts in terms of other arenas wearing non but ja jersey is basically starting to happen ja popularity is growing fast in fact he has that bron and Steph fandom meaning he’s next up in terms of being value to the leagues with his style of play kids love ja and wanna be ja his talent brings others around the world to watch him play he’s that gifted and special
@@spiveyschannel490 I'm not confusing face of the league with best player at all. You're right, there is a difference, but as far as face of the league, I just don't think Ja is close to Steph, Luka, Giannis, Tatum, and maybe even Wemby at the moment. Ja is popular for sure, and he has the talent and game to get there, but he's gonna have to focus on managing his image a lot better than he has so far.
@@SC2point0 trust me when I this bro I live in az bro ja so popular out here people that don’t even watch hoops knows who ja is you can’t say that with wemby Tatum and like Steph yea of course but ja brings in more clicks and excitement then Luka and all them out side of Steph and bron I think ja more marketable yea he messed up but his swag and way he plays bring ai drose Russ fans together in basically loving ja he’s a equivalent to those 3 players
@@spiveyschannel490 Yeah, I feel you bro... I live in Houston and he's popular here too, but I also know several parents that steered their sons away from Ja's jersey and shoes after that 2nd incident. When I think of face of the league, I think of a popular player that's fun/easy to watch and root for, usually the leader of his team, that's marketable, and someone that the NBA wants to showcase on all of it's platforms on and off the court. I'm not disagreeing that Ja can be that one day, but I just think he has a ways to go to get to the top of that list after everything that's happened.
But he’s had several games like this. This just proves that he’s able to have great games at will. He misses 25 games and then drops near 40 in the first game back? How is that overhyped?
@@shanerobinson925He will only be as big as Iverson. He doesn’t have the crossover appeal and the other races will always view him as a Thug. They won’t buy his products or support him. Lebron, Steph Curry, Zion have the perfect personalities to be the face. That’s why everybody is mad at Zion. It was supposed to be his. American born and not too urban or whyte washed. Just right in the middle. Everybody likes Zion.
Man, Ja scared me there for a moment when he held his arm like he was going to pull a "side-winder." I was like, "Man you just got back! Please the start finger shooting right now!"
The young guys are really stepping up for the warriors and is why they are on a win streak. They will make mistake, but that has to be allowed in the regular season. They are not where Wiseman was and deserves more playing time. And Curry who changed the game everywhere you look, is in the conversation
I always wondered what if Ja and Zion were swapped and were drafted to the opposite team. Zion seems like more of a fit in Memphis to me (prob because ZBo was also a lefty PF who played bully ball)... and Ja seems like more of a fit in New Orleans. Glad Ja is back though..

@@lexis4490 I agree, it is sad That kids are having kids. My generation had to and did mature much younger; this is why I am saying he’s just a kid. Bad parenting all around us.

So if your shorter and your "run and dunk man" and an American and have issues in your personal life, your "electrifying" and consistently nudged to the forefront, but if your tall, "run and dunk man", loyal, a respectable family man, and embody the American dream your game is "boring" and old news. I like Ja's game, its just really interesting the new "values" that seem to run their course through these shows.
15 seconds dedicated to the Suns losing to the Blazers, but the Lakers who’s beat the Suns every time this year and won the IST, would’ve got a 12 minute video just for them losing a few games lol
It feels every time the Grizzlies do something cool, they won the championship already. They're posers like Ja is a poser. Ja still can't hit a jumper outside the paint to save his life.
Nothing convinces me that the Celtics are the 2nd best team in the East like every analyst having to use the “if Porzingis stays healthy” caveat in their argument. If you have to rely on a guy who has a history of unfortunately timed injuries, then it’s hard to say you’re a favorite.
I feel like ja could genuinely change this grizzles franchise and make them go on crazy win streak that started just now and at least try to fight for a play in spot which would then lead them to a playoff spot I would say the 8th seed and then lose in the first round to the twolves or nuggets whoever makes it to the first seed in the west
A reported, almost $50mil flushed. Kids do the darndest things. I was 24 once. 40 years ago. Did some some STUPID things that I wouldn't even consider doing now. Ja..???.... 7×70 kid... Now SHINE!!!!!!!!!! (((everybody drop your stones and give this KID a minute to prove himself a light in a dark, dark world))) ((you can always pick your stones up later if he fails your moral test)) Good luck kid. Shine.
Again, all of us castigating him for the gun stuff weren’t hating on bro. We LOVE Ja, we just wanna see him stay on the court, cuz this is what we can get
Shaq affected the game Jay Will, like none of the players you named did, lol. How can you throw Kobe in over the Shaq when he was the Finals MVP during their run.
Luka is the face of the league now. He’s playing at a level 90% of the league will never reach. Jokic is slightly better but he’s just not as enjoyable to watch
Zion could be the face of the league if he really committed himself to play ball. And work hard on developing a jump shot he definitely be a mini lebron.
Can he be THE face now after one game? No, we are going to forget about what Luka has been doing over the years just like that? Now ONE of the faces? Of course, he can be.
🛑 it Jay Iverson is a one of one/ classic/ Goat 🐐 of players 6 feet. Just ask Jordan how good he was. When he crossed him 🏀 and swished him shot. Or go look 👀 at the game 1 highlights against Shaq/kobe in the finals when he put a 48 piece on them/ lakers in a game 1 win. There will never be another Iverson even his Reebok gym shoes 👟 were 🔥.!!
A guy can't be the "face" of the NBA until he wins. Ja hasn't won a MVP or a championship yet! I know he's American and the other top players like Giannis, Luka, and Jokic are NOT Americans, but he isn't close to being on their level right now.

Yep and what did Iverson do ? Not Practice and not win a Chip he was too busy trying touring street instead of focusing on being great and voila he was out of the NBA maybe 3 years before he should have cause no teams wanted him.
Need demand trade waisting talent trash team they 6-19 without Ja he should won mvp already
Shut up kid.
Ja is definitely my favourite player now this guy is unstoppable and remarkable superstar.

Winning may change things on the court but, it’s how you carry yourself off the court that counts,Especially for the children! Stay humble bro
No. But he can be one of the faces. Him, Giannis, Zion, Luka, Jokic. Maybe Tatum. Doesn't look like the league will have 1 face but we'll see
Don’t forget Shai and hali
@@nathanbenson9166 idk if they have the charisma to be a face. But they both can play

No ja can’t be the face of the league he WILL be the face of the league as soon as bron retires anyone who disagrees obviously doesn’t know ball.
