  1. JJ gave him the love and mentorship he needed and with Luka and AR he’s having a buffet in the paint!!

    What a signing!

  4. Today was a proper domination game from him. That first quarter entire Pels couldn’t even get a bucket against him & he was scoring as if he was playing against school kids. Hope he isn’t out for his revenge game.

  6. I’m not kidding when I say Ayton is the only guy in the league who could make a Wilson ball blush. Every time he dribbles, the seams just… shiver. Every time he goes for a layup, the rim moans like it’s been waiting its whole sad life for him. His hands are so soft he could touch a cactus and the cactus would probably feel insecure.

    Sometimes I watch him practice and I just… I don’t even know. I’m sitting in my room in my underwear, eating dry cereal straight from the box, and that ball is getting treated better than I ever will. It’s probably giggling when he bounces it. Me? I’m over here dribbling on my carpet, pretending it’s Ayton noticing me.

    Honestly, I’ve stopped pretending I matter. If Ayton ever walked into my apartment and looked at my wife, I’d just… step aside. Like, please sir, take care of her, she deserves it. He’d love her better than I ever could. And me? I’d just sit in the corner, quietly crying, thinking about how the same guy whose hands make basketballs feel alive could probably fix my entire pathetic life while I rot here.

  7. Hope his knee won’t be a problem. Get them MRIs again. He’s our only defensive anchor without Smart

  13. Like I said in the live thread. He’s THE steal of the off season. I know how Phoenix and Portland fans/orgs feel about him and for the money he used to make yeah his effort and focus issues were bad. But his talent is undeniable.

    The touch around the rim, the rebounding, the defense, the short roll versatility. Incredible for what? 8 mil. He’s really outplaying his contract and is a top 7-8 center in the NBA. Literally who’s been better this year?

    Jokic
    Sengun
    Duren
    Wemby
    Chet
    AD

    I mean I can’t think of more centers who have Ben better AND more available for their clubs.

  16. Most impressive was he did this on 7/9 shooting. Dude is really looking like a #1 pick out there.

  17. It’s so nice having a center that can hit his free throws. Going to be absolutely crucial in the playoffs

  20. I saw that stat where He has like one more double double this season compared to the whole last season.

    Jesus, He wasnt able to play his game with the Blazers? damn.

  24. Great player and good addition to the team, i would rather have him rested tomorrow than play. It could lead to a serious issue if caution not handled

  27. He looked like prime Deight Howard today lol. Hope the knee scare is not serious

  28. Really proud of this guy. Grateful to have him on the lakers fulfilling the role we’ve been needing!!
