    The greatest college freshman basketball player since MJ.

    I will let you college basketball crazies try to guess my pick [2020/21]?
    I am talking about a "basketball player?"
    One having more than one specific skill.

    Huge payoff to the first correct guess? 2 fat points.

    Almighty and powerful JJ? Then stop getting your kicks by interrupting an interesting trivia sports question and using your well know influence on SBR for no good reason.
    I am sure we have many sports fans who like a challenge.

    And I am one of them.
    Also, ease off with that ego more often.

    Thought this was since MJ but it’s specific to 2020-2021 season.

    I’d agree with Metssuck, it’s Cade Cunningham all around best but taken already.....so i’ll say Evan Mobley. I get he is a big man but a damn good shooter from outside.

    Not really, it's all the way back to Jordan as a freshman.

    This kid plays a more mature game than did Jordan did as a freshman. In other words.....damn.

    MJ's freshman basketball stats

    Here they are and when we understand it's rather like evolution, where it "seems," everything is in a more modernized world of: faster, quicker and in a more efficient manner than previous years/decades?
    It works the same way with sports.

    My kid--you can decipher it your own way--beats Jordan.
    Jordans freshman stats:

    1981-82 G PPG MIN FGM FGA FG% 3PM 3PA 3P% FTM FTA FT% RPG APG TPG BPG SPG
    34 13.5 31.7 191 358 53.4 34 44.7 78 108 72.2 4.4 1.8 1.7 0.2 1.2

    My guy: GP PTS MIN FG% 3P% FT% REB AST BLK STL PF TO
    10 13.8 26.5 53.7 40.6 65.7 5.1 5.1 0.5 2.6 2.7 2.6

    MJ wasn't even very good as a freshman.

    Gauch, study your college baskets much better.
    Jordan hit one of the greatest clutch shots of all time, that freshman year. Only [maybe] beaten by this guy [remember him?] Christian Laettner, Duke, 1992.

    If that video doesn't send cold chills down a college basketball fan's back, he must be dead already?

    He hit a crucial, memorable shot but what were his numbers for his freshman year? I don't think they were anything special.

    Looks like ABE keeps his 2 bet points?

    Two videos of my choice to be as good, or maybe even better all-around than Jordan, especially in his two freshman years [so far].
    Jordan could not make these two athletic plays as a freshman. Heck, back then coach K probably didn't think anyone could do it so Jordan was likely under strict coaching instructions to NOT try these two gems?
    Add this to your basketball encyclopedia: ABE says he is already the very best 2021 college basketball player!

    I do not recall seeing a better defensive play from "any college player," much less a freshman? Video #2.

    1.
    * Haven't seen enough?

    2.Video. Probably the greatest defensive play I ever saw in college.

    https://www.espn.com/video/clip/_/id/30554910

    Hmm, maybe we don't have too many college basketball fans on SBR?
    Surely that must be it? Too bad.

    And your lack of evidence shows you know nothing about elite college basketball players.

    Cade Cunningham is at the Tigers game in Detroit. It would be funny if the Rockets took Jalen Green to an Astros game while the Cleveland Indians are in town lol (Rockets have 2nd pick, Cavs have 3rd)
