Basketball Ron & Dylan Harper / Ace Bailey - NBA Thread

[Nycrusupporter]

I mean when something happens for the first time in the 80 history of the sport then I would say it's a noteworthy stat. No need to take it as anything other than that.

Imagine when someone from Burma finally wins an NBA championship. Then I will get really excited . . .

What are you talking about? Early on in the season when Dylan was a success off the bat it came up a lot. There were quite a few of articles / tweets whatever posted with comments and the topic came up all season. Slowly the chatter died down, but every so often an NBA game commentator brings it up. It’s definitely out there as a discussion point, and Kratch is probably correct that it’ll come up again now and be discussed on national TV / radio broadcasts etc. when Dylan comes up.

By who though? A bunch of random people on Twitter and Reddit? Any legit reporters without a Rutgers/Jersey connection? We're also talking about how his run has started up the discussion again not what was happening in the beginning of the year. No doubt it was a colossal bag drop (and probably the most disappointing season of any team I'm a fan of) that probably doesn't happen with the NIL money they have this year but, so far, it's not a national story.

Dylan’s Mom says otherwise

Dylan’s Mom says otherwise

Does anyone not think last year was a tough year? I said it was the most disappointing season of any team I'm a fan off. And for Harper it wasn't just the losing. It was also the ankle injury and flu that made him drop 10 pounds.

Think there’s a lot of over thinking here

having OKC get to the finals over the Spurs is “better” for Rutgers

come on

to 99.999999999999999999% of the public it makes not a bit of difference

the only people who care are overly-invested-in-certain-aspects-of-sports middle-aged men. Nobody else cares.

and the only ones who matter are the super talented teenagers that we want to play for RU

you think they give a f$$k what some guy named Kratch(?) says?

they care about the $$$$ (which this has no effect either way) and they care if they can get to the NBA (and having Ace and Dylan succeed off the bat…. Well that can ONLY possibly help).

Your worry about this will fade once you realize that the only people who bring up such topics (1) have waaaay too much time on their hands and/or (2) have an anti-ru ad to grind; and no one else knows or cares about it.

waaaaaaay overthinking this

We have some strange fans that need to back off the ledge.

In 5-10 years maybe. The association of Dylan to Rutgers right now is not positive. The only way your spin could be remotely true is for someone who knows nothing about college ball. Otherwise, the narrative is - man, how could a program have a losing record with a kid like this on the roster…

We disagree, and I’m fine with that.

The perception that everyone is constantly talking about Rutgers negatively with Dylan and Ace is unique to this board because every post from every no name on social media is posted here
