Is it weird that I still believe in James Young’s potential? 🤣
Is Simmons still fist pumping about the Young pick?
James Young the GOAT
Wasn’t the 4th first rounder KO? Or am I misremembering?
We could have drafted Nikola Jokic but Brad freakin Stevens wanted James effin Young
/s
This was weird for me at the time. It was both incredibly heartbreaking AND I was like HOW MANY FIRST ROUND PICKS?? Both crushing and uplifting at the same time lol
Hard to believe the nets “won” because they had landed KD
#im old af
The crazy part is, when he trade went down it was not considered a slam dunk and many people thought the nets won the trade. The picks we got back, we’re hopefully going to be lottery picks, but back end lottery… no one truly expected them to be top picks
two of three Ja’s worked out im happy
Danny trading down to skip Fultz and then getting Tatum is even better they also got Langford (pick in the first round from LA) in that trade and he helped the C’s get the Buffalo.
I met a girl in college at a party that I was flirting with. I told her liked basketball and watched the Celtics. This was around 2014-2015 after it was pretty clear James Young was a bust.
She told me she met James Young at a party in Boston and fucked him. I told him he sucked and that she could’ve done better. She agreed.
So yeah, I’m Eskimo brothers with James Young. Katie, if you see this, you’re a crazy one.
