Jesus loves you and may God bless you
Is he the new way of saying some one is trash lol…I just wanna know lol 😂😮I z he 😢
I love everyone fam lol 😆
Goddammit, you still get these sponsorships -.- why can't places like, I dunno,.magic spoon or factor sponsor you, whys it actually have to be a super predatory thing like gambling
At least put a frickin disclaimer, personally I think you not saying anything about gambling, especially sports gambling, being dangerous and addictive and at least putting a help line is super shady and *unethical*
@@FF18Cloudlet's keep it 1000%, this guy doesn't care about his viewers potentially being taken advantage of.
He CHOOSES to be sponsored by those guys.
People don’t understand the fact that there are a lot of players that don’t love the game. Some people are so gifted that they’re forced to pursue the career, without having a love for it.
Especially with the big guys. If you're tall they almost push you into the game. A lot of guys just go with it for the money, but the desire for money only carries a person so far.
7 footers been like this since the start of time.
Cough Kwame brown cough Michael olawakandi cough
Tell them not to play then.
When you said those words, the name that went straight to mind was Jokic. Man I wish Ayton was like him. Bitchin about the game and all but still lead a team to a good record or make an impact even if its not a championship.
@@jetlee6746 yeah facts man
“I bring dominance. My name is DOMINAYTON.”😂🤣
There is a trend in the league where the game is promoting players for their size, speed, and athleticism. The issue is that a lot of the guys gifted with these natural abilities are coming to the league because they’re naturally gifted, not because they care about basketball or being good at it. They just want to have the base level of skill to make a lot of money.
If you look around the league, the players with these types of issues tend to be bigs or guys over 6’6. Guys who are below 6’6 have a much bigger talent pool to compete with since there are more people in the world that are around 6’0 than guys over 6’6. They have to be dogs and have to love the game to make it. BUT with the league trending bigger, faster, and more athletic, these guys that care about the game and max out their talent can’t make the NBA. They have to be long and athletic enough to defend these bigger players that just want that paycheck.
These critics commenting about Jalen Brunson for his size shows how elitist and unaware of actual skill in basketball these critics are. As long as we keep trending towards physical ability in basketball versus skill, the more players will have attitudes and the more basketball will devolve.
Well said. It’s gets worse after they get those big paydays i.e. the Jordan Pooles of the NBA.
Preach 🗣🗣🗣
Jimmy Highroller has a video on this topic and surprisingly, statistically the league is getting smaller in height overall
Well said
I can understand the height getting smaller overall because the power forward position is essentially phased out. In order for players to use their athletic gifts and length, they need to be able to run and a lot of larger players can’t run so the power forward nowadays are essentially wings. In the last couple of years we’ve seen bigger guys coming into the league running a lot more fluidly.
I do think we will be seeing more and more players that are able to run at bigger sizes and it will bring bigger players into the game again relatively soon. Shorter guys have mostly been phased out. It’s so rare to see successful players at 6 feet and below unless they have ridiculous length and athleticism. But their careers have also been getting cut a lot shorter. Once someone around 6 feet is injured badly their career is over because they have shorter legs and need full mobility to play against giants. It’s also rare for someone that size to start or even become a back up. They’re often third strings that overperform on offense when they’re called up, then they go the way of Yogi Ferrell as third strings that get phased out relatively quick. @@loudimes5502
I’m a Californian who lived in Oregon and that ice on the roads is no joke…
I live in Az and not debating you on that, but when your early tenure with a new team is characterized by “tardiness and tantrums,” your image you’ve made for yourself plays a factor.
@@TripleB3man. Exactly so no other player ever said nothing like that ever In Portland bro just lazy asf sun fan
@@TripleB3Nah man, I’m a Blazers fan and Oregonian and that ice storm was crazy. We get a snow front every other year, but it’s been a decade since we’ve had a storm like that.
I’m not even a big Ayton fan, but I fully believe the ice story lol
If you'd have just told me you've lived in Oregon, I'd completely write your comments off, but since you're a *Californian* who used to live in Oregon, then you must really know what you're talking about!
@@1kthegamersrichkings874💩🤡
As a resident of Portland, the city doesn’t prep or do anything when it snows here. This year we got freezing rain which turned into sheets of ice. Many places in the city are very hilly so it would make sense that he wouldn’t be able to travel. However, being an NBA player I would assume he had ample funds or ways of managing this.
Probably didn’t have studs. Maybe he has or doesn’t have an AWD vehicle as well. Idk. I’m positive he doesn’t have the experience of driving on it though. You need an AWD with studs to have a chance of traction on that ice. I have a WRX with a set of studs I put on when I go snowboarding at Mt. Hood. I have a lot of experience driving in bad weather (I have a class A). I refused to drive this last ice storm. It was really bad.
Yeah it was so bad this season, I live in Gresham and the ice was hella bad on the east side.
So why was literally every other player and coach able to get there?
I live on his street. All our gates are electric and were frozen shut. It's not normally an issue, but the wind chill was negative numbers. DeAndre's fenceline doesn't have a man gate 😂so he was stuck. There you have it folks
@@Jkra3m3r i am fairly convinced that 30 million dollars a year can afford a taxi, and with a little spike of price also a taxi during EVERY dangerous weather situation.
I'm here in Portland, and parts of the city were completely unpassable during the unprecedented ice storm last month. No cover-up on Ayton.
but how did all the other players arrive?
@@dronel1637that part!
@@dronel1637 Good question maybe planned ahead since we knew it was coming. But also I heard he lives in the hilly area of West Linn
Near Uncle Chael?
@@tylercruse2402I heard he’s got the biggest arms in that neck of the woods.
DA ain’t like Ben Simmons cus at least he shows up to work and he’s not scared to shoot. DA has his own separate issues and isn’t as nearly disappointing as Ben Simmons who is nowhere near the player he was 3-4 years ago.
...yeah, agreed. DeAndre Ayton has a few more all-star game appearances in him potentially...not saying he will...Ben Simmons days of being an all-star appear to be over...
@@TheGoldeagle99Ayton will never make an all star team for the rest of his career. He’s done
@@Romanus-
I wouldn't be so sure about that. Ayton is talented enough to make an all-star game still. He can be a top ten center in any conference. His problem is he has to find that drive to be the best NBA player he can possibly be. If he can do that he'll get better.
ayton has also played for crappy coaches
idk, ayton showed signs of all of this in phoenix already. i think he's just as done as ben simmons, but as a center, his problems are hidden by him at least grabbing rebounds over his smaller guards.
The ice storm was wild. It snowed, and it froze over. The city didn’t prepare for it. So everybody was stuck where they were. I literally had to stay at work for two days, because of how bad it was
Exactly I'm not driving in ice
Yeah except tens of thousands of people made it to the game🤦🏾♂️😂😂 like bruh shut up..yeah icy roads are bad,but every city has municipal workers that get out there the day before,during and after a storm...every other player made it to the arena and Ayton doesn't live in the boondocks far from the arena, this is why it was a problem! How TF can Trailblazers staff make it to you..but u can't make it to them?? Gtfoh
Stuck at work? Man, I would’ve kill my self 😂
@@localdadinyourarea2039Exactly 😂
@@localdadinyourarea2039 not everyone lives in hilly areas or has trucks or good vehicles for that weather. use ur brain
I couldn’t even walk my dog a block after that ice storm. No way I’m asking a 30mil/yr 7 footer to risk injury for a regular season game while we’re tanking…
That one is a pass. The team even sent a driver who couldn't even get there. So for that example ayton get a pass. But otherwise he's a lazy ass bum
He did good last night and that ice in Portland was bad man I couldn’t get to work for 3 days and a tree fell in my neighbors house 💀
Ah, reality doesn't make for good TH-cam boss. More clicks if you clown on guys instead of actually analyzing or understanding where they live.
I know people in Beaverton who’s whole ass condo complex got torn to shreds lol
Thank you for providing another perspective
I live in Oregon, that last ice storm was no joke. Statewide emergency declared and everything.
People die on icy roads every year
Facts
Huge facts . I don’t drive on them myself. Especially at night
People die on roads every year.
Yea this was I gave him a pass. The team actually sent a driver to get him and the driver couldn't even make It. But otherwise he's a lazy ass bum. No consistency. No effort. No passion for winning. Now he is even more exposed.
Anyone heard of Derrick Thomas, KC Chiefs
Feel like this might be bad timing as he's been playing really well
It is lol
Lol yep It is.
He always does this 1-2 times per year.
Putting up 24 and 16 lol
fax
“Earning the knickname “Dominayton” LOL he gave himself that nickname 😂😂
“I love CP” is crazy 😹😹😹😹
😂😂😂just got to that part
The Valley Oop feels like it took place in another lifetime even though it was less than 3 years ago!
Facts
for a single postseason he was able to be everything he was supposed to be... but after that he has not NOTHINH
As a suns fan that’s the only thing I’m gonna remember him for other than that he’s a goddamn bum. I’m gonna pop champagne when he’s out of the league
Nah Ayton took one look outside and said snow day 😂😂
It's sad but that's exactly him
@@michaellockhart6632i easy Ice. IM NOT DRIVING either
The entire city of Portland did. City was at a standstill. I was stuck home for 4 days and couldn't even walk to the store
He lives on the hills of westlinn. They sent someone out to get him and they couldn’t get him. That’s how bad it was. They don’t salt the roads in ice storms either
@@jsteezy80so I'm guessing they played in an empty arena since the city was at a standstill right?? 🤔
There can't be a new Ben Simmons if the old one is around
Exactly he's still here
I live in the Portland area. We get ice storms periodically. Usually when it snows, there’s freezing rain to go with it. On top of that snow. This past snow/ice storm was a bad one. The snow wasn’t the issue. The ice was one of the worse I’ve seen in my 37 years. A lot of trees fell on homes during it. There was some loss of life this storm. Portland is filled with hills. I promise he probably couldn’t get to the stadium that day because of how bad the ice storm was. There are hills leaving the Lake O area where he probably lives. Like most the Blazers. If you’re not used to driving in it on top of not having studs and a good vehicle then you’re most likely going to wreck.
RIP to the family with a new born who had electrical wires fell on their car. Both the mom and dad lost their life after exiting their vehicle. Luckily, their new born survived but now without it’s parents.
@@American11Bdamn RIP 😕
Thanks as always FlightMike
I’m a Suns fan and watch almost every game. The Ayton situation isn’t complex. He’s lazy and doesn’t love the game. His potential kept us hoping but hope turns into fatigue after years.
Minnesota native and can definitely attest to Ayton man. Our winters are brutal and there’s multiple times a winter that you can’t drive at all because of 3 things regular ice on the road, snow on the road, and the worst of all and most dangerous/scary of all black ice because it blends into the road and absolutely sends your booty flying 10 feet the other way 😭😭 didn’t know Portland had it that bad as well but makes sense since it’s very a Northern city.
if you think oregon is bad then you need to come to Siberia in Russia.
Naw Minnesota is way worse than Portland. There have been many times in Minnesota history where it was colder here than the arctic circle.
@@jcol1708 True enough. I used to live a couple hundred miles south of Minny and damn! You guys couldn't even warm that weather up a _little_ ? Snot-freezing, dick-numbing, arctic air blasting, life-challenging weather. I shudder to even remember it. Glad I lived there long enough to marry my sweet MidWestern hippie goddess, but we got out immediately.
@@Trollificusv2 dawg I wanna leave so bad 😭😩
Let’s ride!! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks again my guy for the hard work!!
Nobody will ever beat Ben Simmons at his own game 😂. At the very least Ayton is not scared to shoot in a game about scoring points. He may be a drama queen. He may not care about basketball. But he's willing to put an effort to get a contract. Ben Simmons wanted to do nothing while still getting paid
Exactly Ayton shoots
Ben is a way better player still though
@@thesecretwombat056 "better" is a stretch. "way better" is just flat out wrong
The Icy roads thing is true, cus in the Pacific Northwest we are not used to ice we had alot of rain than below 10 degree weather for a week! it was nuts!
You're wrong, Mike. The Portland area had a nasty ice storm that week; it kept me stuck at my place for 4 days. Portland doesn't get many snow/ice storms in the Winter. On average, there's snow/ice for less than a week a year. The Portland area is sloppy at planning for non-snow/ice days anyway. Imagine how much worse they planned for this relatively rare weather.
I live in the Portland Oregon area and that ice storm was no joke. The roads were very dangerous.
Yo Mike if you’ve seen ayton play the last couple weeks he’s been a monster out there. Started out like 9 for 9 shooting last night and has been playing so much better. Not saying he’s even a top ten center but he’s been playing a lot better recently
He’s on my fantasy team and putting up solid numbers. Has he been hurt? Sure. But not Ben Simmons at all
His free throw attempt needs to improve asap
Doesn't fit the narrative how u gonna bring up monty like it was some bad reflection on ayton when man was trying to lose 80 straight in Detroit
Deandre Ayton has been a top-10 type center for some time. Granted, it's more of a reflection of the lack of depth at the position than Ayton's level of play.
Mike I live in the Portland area and been to the arena a few times . The ice this year was insane is was three inches of solid ice covering the entire ground of a few counties . And Portland has narrow streets on hills and mountains and there’s many bridges . It was a legit hazard there were several instances of cars sliding off mountain into rivers etc
11:40 other guy was like “hell I’ll dap you up” 😂
Hi! I live in Portland. That ice storm was literally the worst ice we have ever seen in atleast two decades. It was freezing on the ground but above freezing in the atmosphere, so it rained everywhere and then froze on the ground. There were ice rink conditions over everything. You literally couldn't walk outside without snow shoes. People had to crawl to their cars, etc.
Bro I live in Portland too and I had to miss a week of work. Mike was crazy for clowning Ayton for missing a game 😂 a family died from a tree falling on their car
Yea them icy Oregon roads ain’t no joke. I got stuck for days once
Mike wouldn’t be flying anymore if he drove in those conditions 😂
That boy bout to drop the bag like Dennis 😂
How I heard the prize picks ad:
The picks that I ADVERTISED in all of my videos didnt hit but the ones 95% of the people watching didn't know about did😁
Goofy
Dude is out here messing with pawnstars 😂 what did we expect.
There should be a mandatory nba common sense class for these guys
No cap i live in Oregon. We had ice roads last month and I had to miss 2 weeks of work. They’re pretty bad here
Glad other people actually live there say it's bad..
I live in Portland and that ice storm was no joke.
The ice was crazy that day was like a ice ring in Oregon
🔥🔥🔥 ur vids r tuff
He’s been playing good since you posted this 😂
Bro, he didn't earn the Dominayton nickname. He gave that nickname to himself.
I live 30 minutes from where ayton lives that day we had snow and roads were frozen we did not go to work for 3 days around that time
The icy roads thing is real I moved to arkansas and when it snows the roads freeze and can be impossible to drive through if you live at the bottom of a mountain, dirt roads, and simply a car incapable of pushing through tough conditions
There was 3 inches of ice on my street in Portland. I do not blame him for that one.
Exactly I'm tired of these so called warriors trying to act like thry know what they talking about. I'm not risking life for a damn game and we trash too.
@@Bigedub101 I have seen so many destroyed homes from that last storm around Beaverton too. It was a crazy one
As someone whos never lived outside of the midwest, snowy roads are a huge problem! However, most of the time people plan ahead for it, but i guess not in Portland lmao
Thanks flight
i live in canada and we change out to snow tires for the winter because if you don't, you'll find yourself wrapped around a pole. nasty roads are no joke especially if not used to / prepared for it.
Big facts🇨🇦, I instantly believed that. These guys have high HP luxury vehicles at that, def no traction
Bro is gonna help blazers watch!
People thought he was going to be Joel Embiid lol
I live in Portland right now the roads were really bad during that time
The roads in Portland are no joke when they get icy lmao
I live in Oregon. Portland is no joke when it gets icy and frozen roads. Some areas you can actually get stuck or have car pile up. So it’s actually a legitimate excuse.
Bro that punch you threw at intro looks deadly ngl
I work at the Sky Harbor Airport in Phoenix AZ and most of the Suns' fans basically said the same thing about Ayton... "It just feels like he doesnt want to play for us sometimes"
13:46 sounds like thats an embid excuse not aytons hahahaha damn this bigs.
love the effort in these videos you earned yourself a new subscriber ❤️
Not even about loving the game or not. But being a professional is about a certain level of having a will to win. Working at your craft. Trying hard. Being competitive. None of that has to do with "love of the game".
Paul will be a great assistant coach after he retires, everyone just always has a good response to being his teammate, and he's great at teaching his knowledge about basketball, especially his flops
I’m in Connecticut and icy road to icy will stop you from getting to your wedding 😂
I live in icy conditions, as a Icelander, and I also feel like that smells like the equalient of the dog ate my homework.
He played super good last night. Wait til end of season for videos like these.
As a suns fan …no lol he is what he is. Can’t teach hustle. I would disagree he’s an overall bust because he can be productive but in the sense of a bust as a pure number 1 pick? Yea he not a top dog as usual number 1 picks are
Yeh that ice storm was ridiculously crazy lmao. It sounded like a warzone outside throughout the days. If you were able to drive a block when it was at its worst you were fortunate. If you lived in certain areas there was nothing you would be able to do to get anywhere.
He's been scoring around 20 points a game over the last month outside 2-3 stinkers.
He has been playing solid the last month!
Ayton’s motor reminds me of Hassan Whiteside
I remember all the suns fan said squished muffin Face is the best lol
Icy roads prevented Derrick Thomas from getting to the stadium, forever
How does this guy not have a million followers, love the content
What do you expect its the blazers 😂
Pacers dodged a bullet.
As an Oregonian the roads were horrible, I couldn't leave home for a week.
To see how he got drafted before Luka and Trae and turn out like this is sad
I can say as someone who’s been buried in the their house bc of an Avalanche, I concur ICE is no joke
You dont live in icy area and it shows having ice everywhere is so hard to drive especially for someone who was living in Arizona for so long of his life where there is no ice lol
Mike, you have the benefits of living in Cali and don’t have any ideas of what the winter weather will bring. Last month, the same winter storm system that hit Portland up when across the southeast US where I reside. The snow and ice were big factors. Most people were stuck inside of their homes for a week. Not much was going on except emergency services and few grocery stores were open. The big issues at play is that small market cities like Portland tend not to be as progressive as far as being reactive to winter weather events. Especially when they don’t deal with them as consistently during the winter months.
your inner fire is most valuable skill you have
As a midwesterner, winter conditions are no joke!
That icy road thing was definitely just an excuse to get out of playing
Ayton had made it very clear he is comfortable with where he is and how things are going. It will be interesting how he feels next year if the Blazers land Sarr in the draft. A fellow center.
I watch hime play tho an i think he needs to dominate the paint oj defense more.. i be watchin him try guard ppl way on the three point line but its never no one to rebound...i guess he need to go back to his bread an butter.. he aint never been the same frm that Giannis block 😂
Guy doesn't love the game he loves what the game provides for him & his family.
Ice roads are DANGEROUS
Exactly they act like it's snow...Ice and slush is whole another thing. And if he crashed and hurt or passed he be bashed
New Ben Simmons is a little harsh 😂 he’s at his career averages this year and had 22 and 16 last night
And Ayton not afraid of the basket
Ben Simmons is much better
@@TheHauntedKiwiNice bate
His career average is 16ppg. He is averaging 14 this year. He is not at his career average.
live in new england and icy roads are no joke. especially since from what ive read in the comments, portland didn't pretreat the roads well at all. given his wealth there probably was a way for him to get to the arena but more than once have i been stuck at home because the road was a sheet of ice
The new ben simmons 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Sooooo happy he is not a Sun anymore 🧡💜
I live in Portland whole city shut down for a week in that ice
I don't think DA is like Ben simmons at all.. DA just needs to mature and remain consistent. He has a lot of potential and needs to be more aggressive and can easily be a 25 and 12 player. Watching every game since he was a rookie, his first and 2nd year he played really aggressive. Once Monty and CP were on the team, Ayton kind of took a step back playing aggressively. He still has a lot of untapped potential but he needs to realize he's better than what he's playing like and play more aggressive.
Icy roads when really bad is worse than 40 or 50 cm of snow or if it's -50...specially if you live on a hill or anything similar. Ayton has his fair share of issues but that day needs to be left alone...
Icy roads are more dangerous than you could possibly know if you've never experienced it.
He has the mentality of a Young player who won a championship already but he didn't even win a ring
Man that 2018 draft was stacked
It's to me probably becoming top 5 or better. They were loaded from top to bottom
@@Bigedub101 seriously not many over time that are going to outclass ‘18 in terms of talent expectations
He Looks older than Greg Oden.😂😂😂
Icy roads aint no joke, livin out West they dont plow or de ice the roads for days on end!! So I do understand what Ayton was facing
i love cp is crazy 😭😭😭
It happened to dale davis in Portland
Icy roads are terrifying bro, you can't stop the car, the brakes lock up.
