Commentary
The
gym becomes quiet as this child drains more treys
than Bird at an All Star 3 point contest. The coach says "that is
pretty good, but try it again....3 steps back". He means behind the
NBA 3 point line.Ê After the man child drills 6 of 7 from closer to
the hash marks than to the top of the key, you can only hear the collective
thuds of jaws dropping, except for the 6'11" kid with the 39" vertical.
"How's that?" he asks with a knowing smile. The future is coming.

The Comparison...The next Garnett is what they say. JB says he does more things than KG. Arrogance, just fact. Bender has range which starts about when he enters the building. He is not quite as dynamic as Garnett, but is already a better shooter. Both are what B-ball players will become....undefinable. Not a PG, 2 guard, small forward, 4 nor 5, just an exeptional player. He is not the next KG, he is the future. The 1st Jonathan Bender.
