Jordan Clarkson on his massive dunk against the Suns: "All I remember was Kobe telling me that I've been going to the hole like a light-skinned dude. So I've got to start doing it like a dark-skinned . So when I see the lane open up, that's all I remember."

The actual dunk w/Nick Young Monmouth Celebration:

Including white people on reddit who thought Kobe was taking a shot at white people.
2506905, LMAO nah Jordan, you gotta keep some things in house. He's mixed,

so I might give him a pass. But yeah, this one of those jokes you gotta say around the homies or even at a Black awards show...anywhere else, they won't get it.

But Kobe was right, just like whoever OG Maco was talking about.
2506950, I'm fucking DONE. Jordan is a fucking keeper. Pay the man.

I’ve seen enough. This kid is the real deal.

To what extent? I dunno. I just know I want him to stick around. For the “numbers on a bad team” crowd, you should probably watch him first. For awhile. It’s not the numbers, it’s how he gets them.

He’s got a ridiculously mature game. He’s got some Kobe in him, truth be told. He’s dangerous from anywhere on the floor.

Threes? Check.
Effective in P&R situations? Check.
Take his man off the dribble? Check.

Finish at the rim with consistency? OH HELL YEAH © Stone Cold
Mid Range jumper? Sam Cassell would be proud. ***for all you analytics bible thumpers, a quality mid range game means defenses have to respect you everywhere on the floor. Jordan’s midrange game is solid and it takes him from being a specialty player on offense to a complete player.

Floater? Yep.

His ball handling is alreadypretty savvy. He’s got a little Nash in him. He yo-yo’s the defense , gets under the rim, pops back out, either passes the rock, shoots, drives, or whatever. He makes good decisions. For a minute he seemed a little too determined to score at all times but he’s relaxed on that over the course of this season.
He still has some road to travel but I fucking love his trajectory. If he adds more triple threat and a turnaround, steps up his footwork, adds more head/pump fakes, he’s going to be special. His D isn’t up to snuff but I think he’ll develop.

I’m sold on him and Randle. But Nance is making me wonder if Randle isn’t expendable for the right price. I think Randle needs to fucking start because he’s the one who can be a star (I’ve seen enough that 20 and 10 is a realistic possibility), whereas Nance still plays like a role player. It’s a crying shame he’s not a 5. I want to see these two on the floor together more often and see what happens. I’d put money that one of these two is gone inside of the next two seasons though. I will say it will be easier to find a center to play with Randle than it is to find the right center to play with Jr, since Jr’s style is much closer to that of more 5’s in the league.

Anyhow this is about Jordan. He’s the real deal. I still don’t know if he’s a good #2/3 offensive option or if he’s got what it takes to be The Man but he continues to climb that chart. Right now he’s not showing me enough to say he’s *thee* centerpiece to build around, but he’s definitely a guy I want on this team going forward. I want this exact team intact. Barring a deal that lands Cuz and keeps Jordan and Russell, I want this team to stay exactly as is for the remainder of this season.

Main thing ive been saying about him. Lots of young guys in his situation shoot really poorly and turn the ball over. He plays a very mature/steady game.

If he can open up his range thats gonna be the key to everything
