Vildoza was Campazzo's successor in Madrid. 

Madrid plays big time basketball.

Campazzo indeed played for Real Madrid.

Vildoza was playing for Baskonia, which is in Vitoria, not Madrid.

Rest of your post, spot on as usual.

[bodiddley]

Vildoza has an odd habit of jumping forward on his 3's.  As in every one of them.  Even on a catch and shoot where he's going left over a screen he still jumps forward on his shot.  His body stays vertical but he lands a foot/foot-and-a-half forward every 3.  Kinda odd. 

Takes some tough shots.  Has some trickery.
All shooting in the first half of the vid, so couldn't evaluate his PG chops (or D), unless passing highlights turn up last 5 mins.

Anyway, nice to see the Knix are hunting up talent.  Must admit early on I was worried we were just signing Kentucky and CAA clients and it was simply a new grift in place.  I mean we've been burned by dumb and stubborn and clueless management for a long time.  But so far these folks are making good cautious moves.  One year deals, a 4 year lottery pick, Thibs vets, etc.  Put defenders around Julius Randle.  Things have gone surprisingly well.

I will have to see

But as you describe it is not uncommon

KZ gimpy.

ATL with more injury woes.  Unfortunate.
But good for Los Knickeroos.

Talk of Randle for Most Improved Player.
Seems almost to slight his achievements.

Breen has mentioned that a bunch on broadcasts, and I've seen Julius for MIP mentioned elsewhere as well.

Kevin Porter the 4th youngest to score 50 or more.
HOU got him for a Top 55 protected future 2nd, meaning for nothing.

Kevin Porter Jr. is thriving in Houston. With season averages of 15.2 points, 6.2 assists, and 3.8 rebounds per game on 41.1% shooting

He's had off-court incidents and might be another JR Rider, but I watched the 3Q and he was just killing it.  One play he's closely guarded in the corner and just rises up and nails a 3 from a behind-the-backboard angle.  Another he dribbles past 2 defenders just past midcourt and continues past another two near the rim for an And1 lay-in.  Quite the rampage.

NBA Trivia:
Who are the 3 youngest players to score 50?

Kevin might have had some issues which never saw the light of day, and there was a run in with the police, which resulted in a weapons charge, which was dropped, then apparently, when the Cavs aquired Jarret Allen and Taurean Prince in the Harden deal, Porter showed up in the locker room and discovered that HIS LOCKER had been given to Prince, and he'd been shifted to a croner where the scrubs had lockers, and he had a meltdown, including food throwing, which did not abate when GM Koby Altman entered the locker room. 

Cavs most DEF gave him away for NOTHING, while the continue to pay Kevin Love 30 million a year.

Not a good look. 

Thinking back to when the Warriors dumped Sprewell, they still got back John Staks, Chris Mills and Terry Cummings [just recalling how much I loved the play of tribal elders Cummings and Buck Williams as we made our playoff run in 97-98 and iced Miami before Indiana put us to sleep].

Looking forward to Kid's inevitable "I've always loved Jayson Tatum...more than anyone here" post.

NBA Trivia:

Mr. Google responds BoZ's Trivia:

"Porter is just the fourth 20-year-old ever to score 50 points in a game. LeBron James did it twice before his 21st birthday. So did Brandon Jennings, and Devin Booker holds the all-time record with 70 points as a 20-year-old. Porter, only a week short of his 21st birthday, is the oldest of that bunch."

BoZ, you need to find trivia questions that can actually trick Mr. Google. So far, I think you're around 0-40 🤣

Tonight's Gaaaaaden game was one of the more memorable Jekyl and Hyde games in NBA history.

[carlos123]

And somewhat related to Kevin Porter...

How many points did Kevin Love score today in 22 minutes?

Answer: 0. Yes, you read correctly, ZERO.

Cavs. owe the Love burden to Bron, who demanded to get him on the team.

He’s a softie that I would have never wanted on my team, even when he was still a good scorer.

I remember Chamaco was a big booster, he just can’t resist the attraction of whiteness 👻

[bodiddley]

Not sure Czarlos understands the concept of trivia Q's.
He keeps fouling.

I had forgotten about Brandon Jennings, who started his career with a bang.
Had a near triple-double 17 / 9 / 9 in his debut (but 5 turns and 5 fouls).
Then in his 7th game, dropped 55 v. the vaunted defense of Monta Ellis and bench Scurry.

I can barely recall his brief stint with the Knix even though it was just 4 years ago.

What part of trivia Q’s do I not understand?

The part where you had forgotten about Brandon Jennings?

Or the part where, even though you had forgotten about him, you still counted THREE players who scored 50+ while younger than Porter.

BoZ, you’re truly comical, not quite at the supernatural level of Chamaco Cartero, but certainly second on this forum. LOL 😁😂🤣

[bodiddley]

Proving my point perfectly.

It's a trivia question.  A small challenge in trying to come up with the correct answer.  You base your answer on what you know and can guess.  Not outside research.  Nobody is trying to stump Google: Google actually doesn't post here. 

I didn't get the answer right -- I forgot Jennings.
But I knew the answer when I asked the question.
Which of course is why I asked for 3 others.

Sheesh.

Ok, you forgot Jennings, but you knew the answer.

You still no making any sense, BoZ.

In the 21st century, I wouldn’t call consulting Mr. Google “outside research”.

Sheesh, I mean Zheezh 🤩

[bodiddley]

I tried to guess.  I got 2 out of 3.
I asked the question to others so they could try it ... after I knew the answer.
I typed slowly that to help you.

I would suggest if you want to know, you google and keep the answer to yourself so others can actually pursue it as a trivia question if they desire.  Dumbfounding that I actually have to explain how a trivia question works to someone.

And until you have an embedded google chip in your brain, google is indeed, by definition, outside research.
