I’m already bored by Brandon Jennings. This actually surprises me immensely. Between the gnarly, retro flattop fro, his propensity to buck the system and an apparent friendship with Joe Budden, you’d think I’d be all over this guy. But alas, no. I think he’s going to be a massive pain in the ass. And by no means am I putting him in TO’s or Brett Favre’s class just yet. He’s simply isn’t worth anyone’s time right now.
One iota of information from Jennings conversation I do find interesting:
Budden: You better worry about Ramon Sessions, diggin’ in your ass, (pause).
Jennings: He’s not going to be here. [inaudible] That money is going to Charlie.
Budden: Nigga, Ramon Sessions is gonna be there.
Jennings: I doubt it.
I’ve spoken of my fondness for Sessions before and I think he’s going to pay off massive dividends to whatever team signs him away from Milwaukee (given that Jennings statement has any sort of credibility). And it’s funny (in that unfunny sense) that Budden is involved with all this as there are actually some parallels between Sessions NBA resume and Budden’s rap career. Neither are really known to the casual fan but those in the know (read: me, obviously) see occasional flashes of brilliance and wonder what could be achieved if only they were in the right situation. The part of Jay-Z in this analogy will be played by Scott Skiles. Granted, Budden hasn’t done much since parting ways with Def Jam, but I don’t necessarily why a team like the Knicks for instance, would throw a shitload of money at a name like Jason Kidd when Sessions is much younger, would come much cheaper and may even fit D’Antoni’s system better than Kidd would.
UPDATE: Hey whattya know, turns out Jennings knew less about his new team than Joe Budden did. Don’t sign it, Ramon!
