Ayo Dosunmu was born in Chicago to a Nigerian father and African-American mother. He descends from the Yoruba people in Nigeria, and his name Ayo means "joy" in the Yoruba language. Dosunmu began his high school career at Chicago's Westinghouse College Prep, where he helped lead the Warriors to a 2015 conference championship against Al Raby High School and scored a season-high 40 points against Crane High School as a freshman,<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayo_Dosunmu#cite_note-1"><span>[</span>1<span>]</span></a><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayo_Dosunmu#cite_note-2"><span>[</span>2<span>]</span></a> earning Chicago Sun-Times All-City Accolades. Dosunmu transferred after his freshman year to Morgan Park. During his junior year, Dosunmu led the Mustangs to a 3A State Championship, although he was unable to play in the championship game due to injury.

I had to look it up cuz other than playing for the Bulls, I was wondering why he cared if the Bears came back lol
We really need to talk about how Steph Curry has more career 3-pointers than free throws.
It makes zero sense when you actually think about it. Most superstars in NBA history live at the line to get their points, but Steph is out here doing the opposite.
It is the ultimate pure hooper stat.
To put that into perspective, look at James Harden. The Beard is a legend in his own right with 3,288 threes, but he has a massive 8,432 free throws.
Harden basically built an empire at the line while Steph decided to just never miss from the parking lot.
We are officially watching a one-of-one career. Are we ever going to see another superstar finish their time in the league with more threes than free throws?
It feels like we’re witnessing a record that might actually be more unbreakable than the 4,000 threes themselves
I was told Jalen Green was the only thing holding the Rockets back and if they just got him off the team they would be unstoppable.
Niggas would be a play-in team and Phoenix has a better record. Plus, I was told that if they had a closer, they wouldn't be losing leads late. Well they have a closer and are still losing leads late.
Plus they miss Dillon Brooks. Last year's squad was a much tougher team.
Maybe the problem wasn't the players. Maybe the problem was that your coach doesn't run an offense. Saw that with Green last year, and seeing it with KD now.

I was never a huge fan of the trade.
But the fan base was so rabidly hating Jalen Green, he had to go.
Now they have not choice but look at the rest of the team since they can't blame everything on him.
Also, when is the last time a team traded for KD and got better? The warriors?
Brklyn doesn't count because they got three stars, nto just KD and even that wasn't a success. At least last year the Rockets were tough, scrappy, and crazy athletic. Now they are average athletically, not nearly as tough and aren't any better at closing games.
So what are you saying about KD?
I haven’t seen the Rockets this year but I find it hard to believe that the smart takeaway here is something negative about KD. The Brooklyn debacle was plagued by covid politics and injuries. I could see the Phoenix improvement being a fit issue and Brooks meeting their needs better. It was way too much of a scoring based “Big 3.” Also KD isn’t the only change— being rid of Beal is probably a bigger positive.
I figured that he was like many athletes, they go to a team and instantly become fans of that city’s team.
Just like Trae’s about to be the biggest Skins, Nationals and Capitals fan
Nets dumb as fuck if they trade MPJ to Golden State. Them San Francisco mf’s would go on a 30 game win streak
Quiet hater! The Nets don’t need to worry about anyone else winning this year, they need to focus on their rebuild!
It's nothing negative about KD. He's just not the type of player anymore that elevates a franchise. You still need to build a team around him and he can be a piece.
I'm starting not to like Rich Paul. Jaren would be aight for the Lakers, but that puts pressure on everyone else to rebound
And it's stuff like this that makes me understand why people just don't wanna fuck with A.I. even just to play around.

lol I’m just tired of GM’s doing dumb shit and still not being shit. I said the same thing about Pau to the Lakers back then. And what happened? Back to back championships for Kobe. And what the hell did Memphis accomplish since then? Not shit! Same would happen to Brooklyn.
If they make that trade, they need to be contracted.
