As a Rocket fan. K Mart been singing Sengun's praises for years. FACTS.
theyre playing okc, shit aint easy to just pass the ball lmfao.
Playing the defending champs at their house and going to 2 OT is a great sign. Shows you can compete with the elite teams. It's game 1 so chill.
Hold your brakes guys. Thus is only game one.
Media says this every year 😂. Last year LeBron scored like less than 20 and the media was blowing up “is LeBron not the same.” KD looks great. He is still an easy 25/5/5 player. It’s game freaking 1 of 82. Chill out.
Sengun is a top 15 player in the league
0:41 Grown men💀😭
I can that you guys( except Kenyon ) has not paid much attention to Sengun game. First of all he is definitely NOT trying to copy Jovic game. He was a MVP in Europe as a teenager and iff you look at his highlights from his time n Europe and since he has become a Rockets you will see his passing skills is NOT FORCED. It's all natural. SENGUN IS JUST A BALLLER PERIOD ....trust me I' live in Houston and I never miss a game. . Love the show... do your research and u will see
Rockets looked good for their starting PG not being there and a key role player in finney-smith being out also. Not to mention, having to build chemistry isn’t easy when you’re playing the defending champs. Too early in the season but they look pretty legit already
You play through Sengun for the duration of the game and then give Kd the ball in the clutch
