Jayhawks in the NBA -- 2022
-
-
@HoraceZontal I was amazed at how excited the crowd got, as well as the announcers going full Rock Chalk mode on the replay!
-
That was great! It’s a shame (and I suppose a statement about Durant) that Durant didn’t try to contest it. I would have loved to see how that turned out.
-
Could be heading to a semifinal round with a Jayhawk on each team. Braun, Grimes, Joel and Wiggins all still in it. 6ers just frittered away a lead laying over dead in last four minutes. They’ll have to win game 7 in Boston to make it.

they had multiple chances late in the game when they was up two. Think like 4 straight trips 2 point lead with the ball an couldn’t do anything. I think they just handed the series to the Celtics just don’t think they are winnin a game 7 at Boston
-
Dam , that’s our boy. -All Christan knows how to do is Championships. - - Won three State titles in High Schol, , was cut his freshman yr, won titles in his Soph , Jr , & Sr years. – First yr at College was Covid yr --Then won Jr year & now has a chance to win NBA Championship in his 1st yr. Like he said that would be like 5 Championships in 7 years.
That ain’t to bad, - I 5 out of 7 – I don’t car who you are, that’s pretty god stuff right there as Larry the Cable Guy says lol
-
CB GOING WILD! Looking GREAT!
-
CB playing like a B-----!
-
That word you keep saying. I do not think it means what you think it means.
-
-
Go, CB…GO! LOL.
-
Tried to watch it. Enjoyed the third quarter. turned into a flop fest in the 4th quarter, so I’ll check back on the NBA in 5 years.
Go, CB though. Don’t be a flopper.
-
Ended up winning 2.00.
-
-
Christan , - -Christan . Look at you - -, you a Baller 10 points in 13 minutes - -With a steal and the flush - -that’s our boy
-

-

I’ve been hyped for CB all year since I live in Colorado. Even went to Game 1 of the WCF against LA and bought a CB jersey.
I really didn’t think he could do this though. As a rookie on this stage.

I think CB has gotten more opportunity than Och this season. Braun has certainly earned every minute he’s played this season though. Malone doesn’t normally plays rookies a lot/at all.
-
Jokic with some praise for Braun in the post game interview.
-
Awesome game for Christian!
-
7-8? Wow!

That’s true - sure hope Och gets bettter opportunity next yr. – The announcers just was all over about CB and how his grit and smart decisions during games. I love his edge, got that kind of don’t screw with me attitude in a game, constant hustle that’s our boy. I think he is itching himself into a solid role at Denver
-
Ochi killed it end of the year. He just didn’t get playing time early. Awesome to see CBs game!
-
CB’s offensive stats were impressive, but he was also often guarding Jimmy Butler. His defense was equally impressive.
-
CB’s story is just unbelievable. Remembering him as a freshman to where he was when left here was a huge jump. Easily one of Self and Cos best developments. I honestly didn’t know if he’d see the floor a ton early his career. Not to take anything away from the Ochai’s and Mason type players but you could always see their athleticism.
-
@kjayhawks 22nd ranked SF in his 2019 class according to rivals. good stuff.
-
I remember redshirt chatter before 19-20. How far we’ve come
-
Well Christan got a chance for ANOTHE Championship tonight. - Go get em buddy
-
@jayballer67 Tomorrow

@jayballer67 Tomorrow
Ya thanks guy, I just saw that, don’t know what I was thinking of lol. Was reedy to kick back and watch some hoops- - - Mercy
-
Christian Braun is just the 5th player to ever win an NCAA title and NBA title in back to back seasons. And the 34th player to ever win an NCAA and NBA title.
-
Bill Russell, Magic Johnson, Henry Bibby, and Billy Thompson are the only 4 other players to win an NCAA and NBA title in back to back seasons.
-
Pretty good company!
-
Also impressive that he logged 24 minutes in the deciding game…

Ya I was just going to mention, he played a lot lst night. -Now there were a FEW things that wasn’t the best but HEY still that’s our boy. - -Christan got burnt mor then once on the defensive end, got the shot blocked - -BUT yet did have a coupe of rebounds-- and like 7 points - -and yet the Coach trusted him enough to have him on the floor for 24 minutes. I thik he is in a good spot
-
Christan 5th player to win NCAA title & NBA title back to back – Christan is the 4th KU player under Coach Self to win A NCAA & NBA title - - Others are Chalmers , Rush , & Kaun
-
Wiggs and CB back to back!
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 If we don’t suffer the first appearance of the Coach not OK whistle at the 86 FF, then we play Louisville in the championship, a team we’d beaten twice that year and maybe prevent Billy Thompson from being on that list.
-
Kieff won a championship as well. Darrell Arthur is a part of the Nuggets office staff so he just won a ring too!

But Markieff didn’t win an NCAA title though. Self has had 8 KU players win NBA titles now, 5 of them have also won NCAA titles. The 3 that won NBA titles without an NCAA title were Markieff Morris with the Lakers in 2020, Andrew Wiggins last season with the Warriors and Wayne Simien with the Heat in 2006.
Morris and Simien easily could’ve had NCAA titles as well because there’s no way KU loses to Melo in 2003 if Simien plays that game and KU was the best team in the country in 2010 and 2011 entering the NCAA Tournament.
-
@wissox 37 years and still obsessed! You post about K in that game, and the Wisc game, so often that I wonder if you remember Brown, Williams, and Self ever talking to the refs. Or do they just never try to influence them and smile graciously?
-
@mayjay I’m living rent free in your head obviously!
-
@wissox No, I charge. Just sign over however much K pays to live in yours!

Good luck with that, Coach K is clearly living rent free in @wissox head too, lol!
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 Ok, I thought the ‘category’ was Bill Self players who won an NBA title!
-
Oh Boy Christan living it up , living the life at the Parade. – Cut off T-Shirt, WWE Championship Belt & A Bottle of Champagne - -THAT’S OUR BOY.
On a side note , there was a fan in the Crowd and he threw a beer up where Jokic & Murray were standing - -they think he was throwing to or at Murray , ended up hittin Jokic on the should bounced off and hit Jokics Wife in the face – REALLY ? come on people, you gonna toss a beer holler at the guys first anyways-- -let them know
