...backup PG, with 7 assists
and he also made plays all over the court and forced the entire Arizona defense to try to stop him
and how about those two blocks!?!!!![/SIZE]

He is superman. The Pac-12 Refs are occasionally kryponite but otherwise he is unstoppable.

Today he did a great job defending AZ's multiple bigs...and also put up good numbers:
SEVEN rebounds, 2-3 shooting, 2 steals and a block[/SIZE]
[SIZE=5]He's was a big reason why Cal held Arizona way below their scoring average[/SIZE]

on march 5, 2015 sean miller left his starters late in the game as he intentionally tried to roll up the score (score 100 points & beat cal by 40+ points) in tucson in an effort to serve notice to then recruit ivan rabb that cal was a ******* 2nd rate basketball program...the wildcats beat the bears 99-60 as a result of miller's transparent actions to disrespect the bears...i looked the cal players & staff players in their eyes as they left the court that nite and smiled
then the overmatched bears met the wildcats in the pac 12 tournament and seniors dwight tarwater, christian behrens & david kravish physically knocked the **** out of their opponents in a bloody losing battle, there was no hanging of heads in the locker room, guys left their hearts on the court
and now almost a year later young ivee is wearing a californa golden bears uniform at the #1 ranked public university in the world & the academically mediocre (95%+ acceptance rate) school from pima county is coming to haas pavilion
and yeah, sean miller is not only the chunky donut boy from tuscon but he's also created a galaxy of bad karma that even my yoga practice can't save him from
this **** is getting live

ucla (12-8/3-4) continues to not play defense for steve alford as the bruins play candy azz soft 86-72 in losing to criminal dana altman's oregon (16-4/5-2) non student athletes that will eventually leave oregon without a degree & then work as a nite shift supervisor at the truck stop in medford & marry a lot lizard before dying of too many stds
the pac 12's best player you've never heard of george king scored 22 points as colorado (15-5/4-3) got an important road win 75-70 over washington state (9-10/1-6) in pullman
what happens when academically ambitious student athletes play a bunch of dumb azzs?...asu (11-9/1-6) almost pulls off the road upset 75-73 in palo alto against stanford (11-7/4-3)
wyoming (10-11) goes down to boise state 81-71 in laramie, wonder if coach shyatt thinks the broncos are dirty
st marys (17-2) got another rpi bolstering win 89-74 at the gaels tiny crack house in moraga (don't do it, marco, they don't got enough seats for our fans)

Shocky, for a guy who can't stop bragging about how smart and wonderful he is, may I point out your disdain for people doing low paying jobs and students at schools with less stringent entrance requirements is pathetic?
Given your involvement in yoga, a spiritual discipline in essence, don't you ever try to reflect on your unethical attacks on people less fortunate than you?
Go Bears!

academic ambition is a personal choice
many highly rated basketball prospects don't value schoolwork because they myopically think they're gonna be minted in the nba, for 99.9%+ of them that's never gonna happen...and there will be major life consequences for many of them down the road, today's fiercely competitive global economy does not favor those that are not well educated
cal's monster class is intended (among other things) to encourage cal's prospective future student athletes to become mentally limitless & earn college degrees
i got no sympathy for people who blame others for their misfortune in life, fake models who exclusively watch cal basketball on tv instead of haas pavilion, litterbugs & those that don't help them rescue dogs

OK
1) I agree completely that don't be a Dumb Azz and think that your tix to NBA is punched just because you dominated Junior HS AAU
2) I also agree that a highly competitive global economy requires at LEAST a college degree
3) I also agree that schools "slot" you for particular labor markets
4) But where I part ways is that a BA from Woe-be-gon is making you a truck stop manager. What it LIKELY does is slot you into the Oregon labor force. What degrees from Cal do is allow you to pursue dreams all over the country and in highly competitive fortune 1000 companies. Not everyone wants to do that. But if you do, that is the difference
(Said by looking at the THOUSANDS of SDSU grads sprinkled throughout the upper echelons of San Diego's economy/government/non-profit landscape)
PS. And not to make this a Marcus Lee thread but that is why I was frustrated with their decision. It is hard for me to believe that a California kid really "gets" Kentucky/upper south and would really wish to try to make their way in that labor market. Take your skills to UCLA, Duke, even USC or U of A but I am sad for the young man to be saddled with a Kentucky BA and be looking at trying to thrive in places like Lexington or even Cincinnati.

Brown had so much time, he could have just grabbed the ball and gotten the turnover rather than knocking it out of bounds.
Bill Russell would counsel him about that. Brown is one of those special athletes who could process that situation, maybe with practice.

it's 30 minutes after cal's thrilling victory over arizona & most of the fans, band & cheerleaders have gone home...sean miller is eating a maple bar with fuschia sprinkles on the bus ride back to the airport...and jordan brown along with his mom & dad are doing the hang with the cal coaches & some of the players by the bears bench, everybody is smiling while they talk
this is jordan's 3rd unofficial visit to cal along with a sunday practice before the australia trip & a football game at memorial stadium this fall

ira lee also in the haas last nite doing the hang with his former usa teammate jordan brown
ira's got a family car so hopefully he will catch another cal game or two this season

more importantly, do you see that taylor & her dumb azz dad are holding hands?
we did that during the final minute for good luck (and probably also to keep me from stormin' the floor too early)...cal basketball is not stressful, it's a celebration of life and i am blessed every day of my life to see my feet when i wake up... living in a settlement in cape town with no education, no job & 5 hungry children is real stress
love you, sweetie, let's do this (and help others along the way)
