sucks to say but kai appears to just be one of these incredibly fragile and mentally ill gen z’ers that are popping up everywhere, and he needs help that doesn’t seem to want. he posted a video yesterday claiming that his mentality is that he is the greatest of all time at everything that he does. he needs help but he’s not a serious person, so i don’t see him getting it any time soon. 

and for anyone who isn’t aware, he’s been actively tanking his career and acting manic at best and tweaked out at worst on social media, while claiming to be the greatest mba player of all time, as well as calling out wilt, lebron, and even trashing his own teammates on twitter. antonio brown level head case. it’s sad. 

 

Yeah, I wish I had a sad emoji for this situation as it makes me incredibly sad. Gifted athlete, natural defender ... but his head ain't right. Dunno if it's always been this way or something that sort of evolved over the past couple of seasons, but I don't see him playing another minute in the NBA at this point.

Honestly, it's looking pretty obvious how in the fuck The University of Texas lost to Abilene Christian University in the NCAA Tournament with Shaka recruiting chuckleheaded dip shits like this. I was kind of indifferent to Shaka when he left here but seeing what he's able to do at Marquette makes me think he just sand bagged his time here and stole our money like a fucking thief. Fuck that big nosed clown.

As far as I can tell, Shaka still have not done jack at Marquette post season.

Hope he's got his mind right and makes the most of this new opportunity.

Tremendous athlete and one of my favorite "short-time" 'Horns.

and unlike greg brown, jericho sims, and jaxson hayes, kai actually has real basketball skill and acumen. he can absolutely have a 10+ year career in the league if he can get/keep his head right.

He played for the Horns for the same amount of time as Roger Clemens.

I took it as "from the recent past, not all-time". What does the jury say?

Preseason is weird. I hope he figures it out but we've seen similar flashes from him before and he has just never popped on the scene. 

[Derka 5990]

i have zero doubt that he has everything required to become a tenured nba vet. it’s just his mental health/social life/off court stuff that will determine if he makes it or not. if he gets that shit together and lives and trains like a professional then he could become a coveted role player for any number of playoff teams.

Good for him. One step at a time. One day at a time.

he just posterized plumlee. harden is looking for him every time down. great fit in la with harden at point. tim legler really praising kai jones as they go to commercial.

Very gruntled to see him apparently doing better.

I kinda miss the 'fro but I'm loving this newfound focus of his.
