Does Khakistan have direct flights or is there a layover someplace?

Beastilaty not really my thing, but I don't judge.

But seriously Mase is not an NBA player. If he can make a nice living playing ball overseas good for him.

i do not think he should have even been drafted so we probably share the same thought on this one but still you might want to rephrase this to "in my opinion" bc mase was very much almost an NBA player this year, coming off a less than average year for a bottom feeder college team...if he regains his health and conditioning and improves some, he very well may be an NBA player

I don't know how anyone can say he'll never made an NBA roster. He almost did. That tells me that he'll probably make it, sooner than later.

Lets be honest..   while it does read like he performed well in camp, the ONLY reason he was there was because his Father is super tight
with Pat Reilly. Mason Jr. didn't have anyone else knocking down his door to invite him to camp.

How did he "almost" make a roster?  He was the first guy cut, on a team that HAD to invite a ton of minimum pay players bc of the salary cap situation there.  Most teams dont put all their money in 3 guys. 

Also, the invite was bc of the relationship with Riles and Papa Mase.  Otherwise he would have had more invites.  Read between the lines people.

Tha Kid there were a ton of other guys cut after summer league that didn't even make it to training camp.

According to who? you? I personally know there were other teams interested in him

Well the two area NBA scouts I know told me they heard zero about any other teams being interested.

Please share with us who wanted him in camp. I am sure that since there were other team interested he will be getting called in for
a look, its still early for a lot of teams.

That battle with James Jones for the final roster spot didn't shape up like you expected..?

Its been printed in publications of other teams who were interested. So the guys you "know" who are NBA Scouts either don't know what they are talking about or are incapable of a simple google search.

I'm not sure what you are trying to prove. Mase needed to beat out James Jones and he didn't. Going with the veteran talent for a championship contender is an obvious choice. I was hopeful though that Mase could have beaten him out. I think anyone who roots for St. John's would root for Mason.

I won't send you looking too far...

So the "other publications" it was printed in was the Jungle.?

Like I said, a basic Google search for "Anthony Mason Jr." doesn't pull up any articles that say he has other teams that wanted to invite him to camp.

Saying a work out equates to interest in a camp invite is like saying a job interview means a company definitely wants to hire you.






Here is the bottom line. Could JR one day find himself on the very back end of a pro roster? I guess it could be possible.
But the reality is JR does not have the skills to make a living in the NBA. I think everyone including the Mason family could agree on that. Is this a bad thing ? NO! If he can make some decent scratch playing overseas somewhere that is desirable  to him I don't see anything wrong with that.

Even though listing anything printed on JohnnyJungle.con should be enough. I did a quick google search and saw this. I'm sure I can fund more but I'm on my mobile now.
