The House of Blue

As someone who struggled with an anxiety disorder in high school (panic attacks and the like) I can assure you it is very much an illness and can be exceptionally debilitating. I don't mean to be obtuse about it, but it is really not for someone who has never dealt with an anxiety disorder to be flippant about it.

But I agree, I highly doubt it had anything to do with his criminal behavior.

Ford, Draft Express, and NBADraft.net all have him going to Boston at either 21 or 22

I have a feeling he's going to sneak up toward the top half of the first round.

I don't think anyone is saying that MKG is going to be a perennial all star but I do think he's going to be a long term pro starter and very solid.

How does Royce saying he's a man and MKG is a boy have anything to do with whether or not MKG is a perennial all star? MKG isn't hyped, in fact in most cases right now he's being hit on by people not named Chad Ford for his jumpshot. The Lakers, whom I hate but are a winning program, are in the process of trying to trade into the Top 5 to get a shot at MKG. I'll go ahead and say MKG is going to have a much better and more fruitful career than Royce does. That's the homer in me but while I think Royce is the more complete offensive guy he's also 2 and a half years older than MKG and doesn't play with nearly the effort. MKG has already shown more maturity and much more man like qualities than Royce ever has making Royce's quote even more of a joke.

Thing was until the last couple of days I really liked Royce. His comments and spoiled child attitude with this and things he's said to Ford and some of the other draftniks have really rubbed me the wrong way though

I love that if Davis had been forced to guard him straight up line.....Davis never guarded him that entire game. For the most part it was Jones and MKG. They didn't overly pressure him and just let Davis try to bother his drives. IF is a huge word but if Davis had been on him he'd have never gotten a good look at a jumpshot either.

He failed to realize Davis didn't guard him but rather Jones and MKG. We tried to slow him down but were more concerned with making sure nobody else could beat us cause we knew he wouldn't.

Severe Anxiety like panic attacks, constant worrying, the kind of anxiety that makes you sick to your stomach like you're about to ride a roller coaster for no reason is definitely an illness. Apparently Royce suffers from that kind of anxiety but that has nothing to do with what this thread is about and the comments Royce made. And even severe anxiety as well as panic attacks are treatable with therapy and meds. People overcome severe anxiety everyday.

Post of the thread. Lol

Cockiness yes but did you ever hear those guys call out anyone in the media in anyway? Cockiness and trash talking is fine but you do it on the court or privately not in the press. When The Jordan Rules came out and showed what an ass Michael was privately it's been rumored that Jordan literally threatened Sam Smith's life because at that time he was so beloved and never showed that publicly.

Royce making disparaging comments about another player specifically just doesn't make any sense.
