IMPORTANT: this is the first video since getting hacked, in some countries the channel is still called Microstrategy US. But I now have complete access and control of the channel again, if you wanna know the the crazy story of what happened click the link bellow Secret video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gKmln3iseM1sprM thank you for your support

[@BBallRambles]

The G League needs to start paying a salary competitive with foreign leagues like Euro, China, Australia (and more up and comers even like Japan). Because as it stands right now, you have some near NBAers like the ones in this video, but for the most part the rosters are filled out with dudes you have never heard of. There is a reason the guys who average 20 plus a game in the G League either make the NBA very quickly or go overseas for the rest of their career, and it’s money. I am not saying these players are putting up inflated numbers, but the competition for the most part in the G League is well short of the NBA (which is why it is very rare for non-drafted/non-2-way guys to ever get looks in the NBA).

[@remylebeau5212]

Salaries are based mostly on putting butts in seats and viewership....the fact is that nobody really watching G league like that that

[@mattcollett9370]

So you think they should pay salaries comparable to other top tier pro leagues, while also saying the G League is well short of the top tier pro leagues? Average G League salary in 22/23 was $8,000/month AT LEAST, and two-way contracts could pay up to $500k/season. I’m not losing sleep over that lmao

[@BBallRambles]

@@remylebeau5212 I am saying they should pay G Leaguers a few hundred K a year. That way they can entice good pros to leave other leagues. This would make the talent across the league go up, help these sort of guys actually get better, and it would without a doubt increase attendance at the games

[@BBallRambles]

@@mattcollett9370 if they paid a few hundred K to all their non 2-way guys then they would have better luck bringing over good talent from over seas which would make the league more competitive and draw better viewership.

[@16psyco]

the problem is that they play for an NBA draft not for the win, as an old European basket player (not fully pro) I can tell the mentality is really different. In Europe, you play to win and only win if not you're on the bench.

Leonard Miller - Iowa Wolves 22.5p 10.2r 3.2a 1.2s 0.4b .486/.376/.806 He's getting occasional NBA minutes. Twolves have good veteran depth, I think this guy would be getting minutes on a lot of NBA teams.

[@Gravitysnap101]

The man is back!

[@DSKxMonkey]

I really liked watching Castleton play during the Summer League games for sure. Anyways, the Hornets should look for those Indiana rookies 🤣 They could use those guys on defense and rebounds

[@wixse.quisee]

Just goes to show that the NBA needs to expand. Got players like Brandon Boston, Turk Smith, Ricky Concil, Amari Bailey, Darius Bazley, Bates, for a while Cam Whitmore, Kobe Bufkin, Jaylen Martin, etc in the G League. Not to mention guys in the NBA who should be starting on a team, but buried on the bench. Players like Trey Murphy III, Tre Mann, Bones Hyland, Christian Braun, etc.

[@CameronKropf]

great video

[@Chucky4eva]

we need an expansion, too much talent in the league to keep it contained to 30 teams

[@amancalledhawk5575]

Well look at Bol Bol he was projected to be a top 7 pick he hurt his foot and became a 2nd round pick and when Denver saw they had a chance to win a chip they didn’t develop him and shipped him out but he’s good now in KD’s school lol

[@siner2442]

What pick was Jokic? 2nd rd last pick of the draft? A lot of these European players get screwed by NBA teams and get garbage minutes and small contracts with no playing time… we seen a lot of good players who showed they Can compete in FIBA but get screwed when they come to the NBA

[@jefferymills521]

Why you do Julian like that 😂😂😂

[@Raggyyy]

It sucks how much talent and development is thrown away due to being drafted by a contender. If given resources and opportunities Emoni could get back to what everyone was expecting out of high school. Emoni definitely deserves to be on an NBA roster and not the G.

[@CM-ft9ep]

Wrong. Dude can score against G League teams playing essentially no defense, but can't really do much else. Go look at guys you've never heard of scoring 30+ in the G on the regular. If Bates makes a place for himself in the League it will be as a role player, but he still carry himself like he gonna be a superstar. Find me a superstar that ever played a full season in the G.

[@RickytickyBobbywobbin-jl5oy]

⁠@@CM-ft9epWemby? Played a full season G league and now is looking like a future face of the league. Not saying Emoni will be the same but to act like it’s impossible is crazy. He’s 6’9 with the skills of a guard. He could definitely be a star player in the right situation.

[@SonnyK248]

It’s crazy how if you forgo college and play for the G League ignite you only need about 16 points per game to become a lottery pick in the NBA draft. But if you’re a freshman in the NBA putting up 25 in the G League teams don’t seem to care 😂 it’s like being about six months older than the Ignite boys were the year before makes that much of a difference 🤦‍♂️😂

[@jumar2080]

30 years ago only 15 players averaged more than 25 points per game. Hand checks are band since 2003 is it because nba teams are averaging 120 points per game and it’s the easiest era to score? Or are these g league players that good?

[@1DesMac]

I honestly hope they trade emoni cause he needs to be playing real minutes I swear he’s special

[@espectrodelayautja6320]

G league is packed with offense. No team in the nba is hurting for offense. Even the bad teams have offense. He cannot play defense. Every team is set in their building future. He doesn’t have a place. If he gains weight they’ll use him for defense. Bad timing. He would’ve made more in college than those terrible g league contracts. Lol

[@user-kd8to1nu1k]

markquis nowell doesn‘t even get mentioned? crazy to me

[@siner2442]

The NBA needs to start running things like a buisnes again and make changes. They need to start fining for tanking and having bad records,fine players for sitting or having fake injuries,stop letting players hold teams hostage and demand trades or even let ridiculous trades happen like having 6picks involved like they have that many picks like an NFL team? This whole liberal Commissioner is a fail and making the whole NBA fall.

[@user-ud8qb9ey1w]

@@jeffgray6291 in terms of competition G League is significantly better. As far as preparing you for your daily life in the NBA the G League is significantly better for that as well. I will say conference play(big games), conference tournaments and the End of Season tournaments can prepare you for the intensity and required mental focus for the playoffs. I will grant you that. Everything else in the G League will be a better preparation for the NBA.
