gboahoops.com- Grassroots Episode 19 Derrick Favors

[Fredrickdf]

Hot Crazy wife for date *lushfmlk.info*

[princeebz1]

i like this guy and ive never heard anybody sound like such a geogian

[yungrico]

he is a quiet person he never rallytalks he always been like dat

[yungrico]

hes quiet he always been like dat never really talks alot

[alldayjay167]

this dude favors is nasty with it he's gonna kill at georgia tech

[vitalsign77]

Damn!!! why cant you all just watch some basketball highlights and enjoy them without all this fucking nonsense. UNC, G. Tech who fucking cares just watch the highlights and shut the fuck up!!!

[badboyinjordanz]

ppl will loook for any reason to knock someone down if you listen to the comments on here. How many of you were all honors students or even great division 1 basketball talents? He has a heavy Southern accent how is that any indication of his capacity to learn. Hes not a public speaker and probably has lil experience in interviews... HES A GREAT ATHLETE AND AT LEAST A GOOD STUDENT AND HES GOING ON TO A GOOD SCHOOL. all that other shit doesn't even matter

[rednoseroxy]

Wow... There's your public education system at work.. Favors needs a fucking speech class something serious.

Instead of seeing a kid that needs help in the english department, they've seen a meal ticket, a championship, a public eye...

Oh well, who cares if he gets an education, as long as he can make millions for cooperate America selling the dream right?

[lilkj20]

Favors is actually pretty smart for your information he is only 17 and is a senior I think that's sayin something alone and he is going to Georgia Tech you have to be hell of a good math or science person to go there and have you ever thought that that's probably how he was raised? you probably should think about these things before sayin favors needs help in speech

[rednoseroxy]

Ha!.. "for my information"... 17 and a senior, THATS THE STANDARD here sport. Thats the way it supposed to work! Listen to the kid, he sounds like hood trash. And let me clue you into another fact, as long as this cat can score points, it doesnt matter if he's even heard about things called Science and Math. Special treatment all the way. Hell, 95% of the NBA's players can barely construct and complete a proper sentence and they were from college. Trust me, this kid is no math or science whiz.

[danrob10]

You shouldn't judge someone's intelligence based on how they speak - it's really no measure at all. By the way, what's "cooperate America"? Maybe address your own inadequacies before criticising others.

[rednoseroxy]

Actually, I'd say a real inadequacy would be the inability to read through a typo... or perhaps whatever "small" feeling you had when you felt it important to reply. I wasn't criticizing Favors as much as I was the system for letting his BLATANTLY poor speech slide. He speaks poorly, pathetically even, as do so many others... It's a problem and its no more perfectly apparent than in this guys speech.

[danrob10]

I noted your typo because it reflects your low intelligence just like Favors' ON CAMERA diction reflects his. [Sarcasm] The "small" feeling I had was the urge to respond to the simplistic line of argument you used to declare another person unintelligent.

[Sweetwater8]

Hahaha he's retarded. He must be.

"play good outlet pass"

"yeah i play well. Play well with everybody"

[GaTechfan4life3]

No clearly you're retarded. He said

"make good outlet pass" not play

How does that statement make him sound retarded? WTF haha

[dariusfavors25]

rep it hard for the GEORGIA FAVORS!!!!

[MDFromNC13]

LMAO he talks like he's retarded.

[xIIRaWnESSIIx]

He doesn't talk like a retard. STFU

[dthon1]

Yeah, he does.

I wonder what classes he's going to take at Tech.

[MDFromNC13]

ESL, um Algebra one, Basketball for Dummies..

[auti255]

bro stfu u don't kno wat u tawken bout.

[MDFromNC13]

says the guy with terrible grammar. Do you happen to be related to Mr. Favors? If he came to UNC, the locals would only like him for his ball. The players on our team don't talk like they're autistic and took special ed to get into UNC. They may be the best team in the country, but you need good grades. Great Idea favors, go to tech, you only need a 3.0 to get into that garbage.. rofl.

[derekmajor]

haha Keep talkin liberal arts college fan. UNC is only two rankings above us in best public universities and we are focused orimarily on Engineering. If we are garbage, does that make you trash?

[MDFromNC13]

rather be found in a bag than in a dumpster.. we ball hard up here anyway. Favors deserves to go to a shitty basketball school. Team should be as good as his mind works.. TERRIBLY. ;).

[buzzbabe06]

And he's at GT! Thanks Derrick! Any other place (UGAg) would have been a mistake!

[MHSFootball01]

Uconn always has a big man, so GT was a good choice considering they dont have one and he will be facing some of the best competition in the acc

[mfischer1]

come on down to UGA derrick.

[derekizdaman]

i hope he can dribble cause josh smith is about his height and he playy small foward

[glenngarrett2]

No he will come to NC State

[Heir93]

dat boy sticks (Derrick Favors). i go to school wit him. dat mutha fucka is a damn monster!!!

[robertg5a]

man he gives me a feeling of michael beasley...isnt he compared to dwight howard alot?

[GaTechfan4life3]

Yeah they compare him to Dwight Howard alot I like him to Tim Duncan or Kevin Garnett though.

[tubefreek13]

this guy seems so arrogant, i think that if he makes nba he will be one of the most hated nba players, kind of like gilbert arenas... only i like gilbert ha

how old is he?

[GaTechfan4life3]

WTF are you serious? Arrogant he said he HOPES to make the NBA when he will 100% be in the NBA and be a to 5 pick when he goes to the draft.

He's was 15 in this video just turned 17 currently....

He's comin to Georgia Tech baby!!!

[RighteouslyWicked]

senior in hs. so probobly 17-18

[JAYDUBZ77]

Derrick Favors! GO TO UCONN!!

The best coach for big mens!

Just ask H.Thabeet!

Coach will get you ready for the NBA!

[gohard901]

Derrick Favors-X-Man Henry-John Wall MEMPHIS 2010 CHAMPS

[Stingem103]

I mean all these scenes are shot at Georgia Tech. Im pretty sure he is gonna go here.

[GaTechfan4life3]

He's not close at all to committing to NC State. haha

GT baby!!!

[asyvc98]

he has definitely expressed his interest in NC State..Sidney Lowe is one of the best coaches to play for if you want to make it to the NBA. He recruited JJ Hickson out of ATL and Favors knows that he will get the exposure that he needs at State. At State's open practice last saturday Favors stood up and acknowledged the large crowd when chanting his name. After speaking with a few State basketball players, it seems that Favors enjoyed his visit and may be close to committing to NC State.

Go PACK

[DaBeSToFIRaWnESS]

Favors is not going to NC State he's going to Georgia Tech. Wow JJ Hickson didn't have an offers from Georgia Tech, Duke, UNC, cause his grades sucked same with Lo Brown.

Chris Bosh>>>>>>>>JJ Hickson

Go Jackets!!!!!

[asyvc98]

NC STATE

[2prodigy1]

why? seriously

[2prodigy1]

GEORGIA TECH

[mikeb3408]

NC State!

[fritts1227]

Hey that's the Checkers across the street from Georgia Tech, hmmmmm?

[Harrisonmon]

First of all: He doesn't sound dumb. He sounds like who he is: a good ole' human being in the deep south.

Second of all...

NC STATE WOLFPACK!

[munford7]

He'll be an Auburn tiger surprisingly

[xIIRaWnESSIIx]

GEORGIA TECH YELLOW JAKETS

[RaElls10]

MEMPHIS TIGERS

[2prodigy1]

Why would he want to play in a drive and dish offense? How can he do well in that? He will do well in whatever system he goes to, but memphis doesn't seem like a great fit. And also Xavier Henry is going to Kansas and John Wall to Baylor..yes I heard he is visiting Memphis, but he is just playing it so it makes it look like Clifton isn't the reason he went. Of course, Derrick will have to refuse a big paycheck from Calipari, but I think he can wait cuz he will be makin millions in a few years.

[felonious83]

Memphis + Xavier Henry + Derrick Favors = 40-0

[MrMackeyMmmkay]

Haha man how sweet would that be. John Wall also has Memphis on his list and we already got Nolan Dennis. It could be a brilliant class. But this Favors kid seems like Josh Smith to me, and he sounds pretty condident in himself so that will also help him harness that immense talent he has.

[Bossrah]

derrick favors is a class act i like this kid

[GaTechfan4life3]

If he was dumb every schools in the country wouldn't be after him. Trust me. He is smart!

[RighteouslyWicked]

maybe they give him his grades

[Cortlander44]

hes sick but sounds rele dumb

[juncallday1]

he has no intrest in kentucky

[gtgtgtjacket123]

he could end up anywhere at this point. I hope gt

[GaTechfan4life3]

LOL he won't go to Kansas or Kentucky. He wants to stay close to home and he lives 15 min from GT and grew a huge GT fan. Sorry ThaddeusMarcum.

[KUbballer049]

i hope he comes to kansas

[Christmas800]

lol courtney fortson equals girl

[reallycoolgamer]

I hope he doesn't come to kansas he's not what we as a town represent

[gtgtgtjacket123]

hes not interested in kansas. thaddeus marcum what is your problem i was just giveing a suggestion

[KSUrules]

I hate KU (KSU fan), but if the kid visits Lawrence and sees what that town is all about, it's one EASY decision. Basketball is more than a religion there, and the players/coaches...treated like gods. As much as I curse the place, there really is nothing like what you experience in Lawrence, KS.

[gtgtgtjacket123]

favors and noel both have interest in ga tech. they should both go there. also its close to home.

[ThaddeusMarcum]

Why would anyone in their right mind want to play for pathetic Tech when Kansas and Kentucky are offering?

[hawkball7]

is it me or does it seem like he has trouble talking?

[BuIIdogs]

its you.

[McFluffy92]

He will be a stud in KU Blue

Rock CHalk Jayhawk!!!!!!!!!

[MrTduke08]

There is absolutly NO chance Favors goes to KU. It will be impossible to get him out of the south due to him wanting to be relativey close to home.

[GaTechfan4life3]

Duke has been recruiting Favors for a long time but he does one interview with the Duke site and then Duke fans think he is going there. He will not go to Duke it will be GT or UGA. Hopefully GT.

[MrTduke08]

Nobody said he was going there bud. If Derrick Favors had a twin and both signed with GT, you would still be mediocre.

[MrTduke08]

Good point standup. What cracks me up about these idiots bashing Duke guys is that they only do it for one reason. Because they are a mid-tier acc team and...Duke has owned them. I hate UNC but will be the first to admit that Hansborough is a great player. Its called being realistic.

[standuplive]

grant hill used to be the best before he got injured, and luol deng does have all star potential...I hate him but I'm being truthful, he should have been an all star last year, and this year hes been banged up.

[2prodigy1]

"Luol Deng...All Star potential who will be signed to a lucrative extension this summer."

...WTF?

Luol Deng will never be an all star. You are kidding yourself if, speaking of potential, you think Deng will be better than Thaddeus Young. Thaddeus Young is averaging about 16 points in the last 2 months now that he is getting serious minutes.Also, Thaddues is 19 and Deng is what, 24? "Carlos Boozer...All star. Kenny Anderson...solid pro"No Kenny Anderson was an all star.

[MrTduke08]

If you seriously consider a forgetful player like Kenny Anderson on the same level as Boozer, youre brain is as dense as your argument. And its hilarious how you keep reverting back to Young and Bosh but keep dancing around Hill, Brand, and Battier.I almost shit myself when i read your kenny anderson/hurley comment. For a guy who supposedly schooled hurley so much, he sure as hell couldnt WIN any titles. DUKE and UNC have owned the acc for years with GT being an afterthought. Quit getting owned.

[gtgtgtjacket123]

dennis scott. kenny anderson.chris bosh.stephon marbury. are better then anyone on that list ur the idiot

[MrTduke08]

Dennis Scott...role player. Carlos Boozer-All Star. Kenny Anderson...solid pro. Elton Brand-All Star. Stephon Marbury...problem child who gets traded every tuesday for his selfish play. Luol Deng...All Star potential who will be signed to a lucrative extension this summer. Chris Bosh is the only legit stud on this list and Hill was just as good before his ankle killed his remaining years. Theres a reason your a second tier ACC program guys. Quit lying to yourselves.

[2prodigy1]

Exactly, this guy has no idea what he is talking about. Marbury was an all-star game MVP, but he says "problem child..." Then says for Luol Deng "all star potential...". No DENG WILL NEVER BE AN ALL STAR. Oh, and Bosh is far and away the best player out of the two schools. And, you just downplay how good Kenny Anderson was because of the fool he made out of Bobby Hurley countless times. MrTduke08, how is Trajan Langdan doing and you are an idiot, have a great day.

[zakmi11]

why pull Trajan Langdon out the hat for an agruement just wandering I meen sure maybe he was a slight bust at first but one he didn't stay that long and two G Tech has had its share of bust I'm sure as many good players as they have had I just don't see why he would be in your arguement

[MrTduke08]

Youre an idiot 2prodigy. Hill, Brand,Boozer,Maggette,Williams­,and Deng are all better players than those listed with only Bosh standing out. Quit being a biased sycophant. I hate idiots.

[2prodigy1]

Really, GTs list is horrible, you're right Duke's list is better. You really don't make any sense because the best Duke player is Carlos Boozer and he doesn't compare to Chris Bosh. Also, in a year or two Thaddeus Young will be an All-star. And go ahead mention Luol Deng, he definitely is good now being Chicago's third option and all. Duke's list isn't really half as good as GTs.

[MrTduke08]

Carlos Boozer doesnt compare to bosh in what facet? They are completely different players but the numbers dont lie pal. Elton Brand healthy is just as good as Boozer and lets throw Hills numbers at you before the ankle injury. Luol Deng IS better than Young. Period. People that use "will be" are reaching for straws.

[gtgtgtjacket123]

marbury was an all star 2003

dennis scott held the record for most 3s in an nba season

and kenny anderson has over 10 000 points in the nba and he was an alstar and is 12th on the alltime assist list for the nba.

[bluedevils789]

ok ur list of gt players is pathedic chris bosh is the only good one and last time i checked carlos boozer is an all star who else in that list is an all star

[gtgtgtjacket123]

does anyone no where to find the noel johnson episode

[2prodigy1]

I was looking for that also.

[gtgtgtjacket123]

he grew up a gt fan thats why he wont go to duke or kentucky. another big reason is location. maybe he wants his family and freinds to come to his games. and kentucky isnt the best program ever ucla is

[2prodigy1]

Actually I do think Kentucky has a better overall basketball tradition than Duke...Also, I would say GTs NBA players are better than Dukes. Chris Bosh Jarrett Jack Thaddeus Young Javaris Crittenton Kenny Anderson Stephon Marbury Matt Harpring Travis Best Dennis Scott Mark Price Yeah the only player worth mentioning is Elton Brand, and the amount of good NBA players from Duke is greatly outweighed by the number of busts from Duke. How is Josh McRoberts doing?

[MrTduke08]

Youre an idiot 2prodigy. Hill, Brand,Boozer,Maggette,Williams­,and Deng are all better players than those listed with only Bosh standing out. Quit being a biased sycophant. I hate idiots.

[bohannorwell]

if u new anything u would no that he just saud duke has started to recruit him and i would say luol deng grant hill carloz boozer elton brand pretty good and if u honestly think gt has even as close to a program as duke u might be retarted and when was the last time kentucky made it to the sweet sixteen

[2prodigy1]

And GT is in da ATL.

[2prodigy1]

Why would he go to Duke.

He is going to get national exposure wherever he goes.

Why would he play in a 4 guard offense.

Duke players are bad NBA players.

GT just got to the championship game a few years ago, Kentucky has won more than Duke, and UGA...well...yeah you have a point there.

And Duke hasnt even been mentioned in his list.

[bohannorwell]

why the hell would he want to go to gt when he could play for coach k and

[MrTduke08]

No actually they are coming alimace. They have upped their recruitment of Favors as of this week. GT is a mediocre b-ball school while UGA is football through and through. Derrick, you mentioned you want national exposure, Duke is on TV more than any other team in basketball. With that new Phoenix style offense they run, you could play the role of Amare that they so desperately needed this year.

[alimace1]

Blue Devils are going.

[DukeFan1000]

Blue Devils are coming.

[GaTechfan4life3]

Noel Johnson is not intrested in UGA.

[jaymin82]

He's going to UGA or GT. Hopefully Thompkins can bring in both Favors and Noel Johnoson to UGA. COuld you imagine a frontcourt of Thompkins, Johnson and Favors. With Mayfield and Drazen in the backcourt.

[Randyfan4eva]

yes he would still play your fuckin 6"9

[2prodigy1]

GEORGIA TECH!!!!!Come on!

[rondocollector]

KENTUCKY!!!!!!! Come on!

[2prodigy1]

Bring Noel too, we win da championship, you, noel, shumpert, gani lawal, peacock, mo miller, no stoppin us. add in mfon udofia, brian oliver, or ari stewart, we easily da best.

[2prodigy1]

Represent da ATL, come to GT!

[tarheelborn15]

you are all wrong. He's going to Georgia Tech or Georgia.

[dukecrazy2]

Well if any of these guys are going to Arkansas then they are very smart. Arkansas has all kind of talent and they can't win. Why would anyone want to go to a program where they can't get better

[mikeloog]

Memphis

[thebionicpig]

He and Lance Stephenson are coming for a unofficial visit to Arkansas this spring. Gete'm Coach Pelphrey!!!

[shakespeare1000]

He doesn't even name Kentucky. Kentucky needs players in the worst way.

[Harrisonmon]

He doesn't name NC State, but that doesn't mean he isn't interested. This was posted in July 07, it could've been filmed even earlier.

[kitanik3]

he's dumb

[213227]

he is Kentucky Wildcat bound! mark my words!!

[213227]

come on Derrick, become a Kentucky Wildcat!
