Who exactly is the Flagrant 2?
The Showman:
- Favorite Basketball Things: High School Prospect Highlight tapes, Mock Drafts, Flashy Passes, the Mythological 7’0 Swing-man and the Draft-and-Stash Prospect
- Favorite Basketball Card Growing Up:
- Favorite Player as a Kid: Ray Allen on the Bucks
- Most Random NBA Player I Loved: Fred Jones, Desmond Mason and Jonathan Bender
- Favorite Players Currently: James Harden, Russell Westbrook and Giannis Antetokounmpo
- How Was This Player Not Good? Rodney White & Stromile Swift
- Most Googled Player: Josh Selby
- NBA Live, NBA 2k, NBA Jam or Kobe Bryant in NBA Courtside: NBA 2k1 on DreamCast
- Career Affected the Most From Injury: Penny Hardaway or Dajuan Wagner
- Wish I Could Watch One Player in Their Prime: Oscar Robertson
- Player I Hate for No Reason: Richard Jefferson, Jason Kidd, Kenyon Martin — well most of the early 2000 New Jersey Nets I guess. Also, not the biggest Jared Sullinger fan either.
- Best Dunk Ever in the Dunk Contest: Vince Carter 360 Windmill
- Favorite Random YouTube video that I Still Pull Up Once a Month: Malik Newman and Emmanuel Mudiay AAU Highlights
Nigel:
- Favorite Basketball Things: Great passing, enthusiasm, heart
- Favorite Basketball Card Growing Up:
- Most Random NBA Player I Loved: Dajuan Wagner
- Favorite Players Currently: Damian Lillard, Westbrook, Durant, ZingGod
- Why Wasn’t This Player Good? Dajuan Wagner should have been an AI lite. Injuries and bad luck. It’s a shame, I loved D Wag.
- Most Googled Player: Kristaps Porzingis
- NBA Live, NBA 2k, NBA Jam or Kobe Bryant in NBA Courtside: 2k all day but NBA jam was amazing
- Career Affected the Most From Injury: Brandon Roy. Maybe TMac. TMac should have been a Hall-of-Famer but was still a hell of a player
- Wish I Could Watch One Player in Their Prime: Oscar Robertson
- Player I Hate for No Reason: Almost every duke player in the 90/00s besides Elton brand, Maggette, Jabari and Kyrie. I love uconn so it just kind of came with the territory
- Best Dunk Ever in the Dunk Contest: I thought Aaron Gordon was criminally robbed this past year. Almost all of his dunks were not only incredible but super original. With that said probably one of Vince carter’s dunks.
- Favorite random YouTube video that I still pull up once a month: TMac going for 13 points in 35 seconds
