We need a nickname or term for all these players who are suddenly SHOWING OUT in the bubble. And the term has to involve the word “bubble” in some way. Something like “Bubble Breakouts”, but I want it to be more creative than that. Who do I have to pay to generate creative ideas for me? I use up all my creativity writing these video descriptions. I don’t have spare creativity to throw around.
Whatever we’re calling these players, Gary Trent Jr. is one of them. He was starting to heat up just as the “real” season ended in March, but he managed to hang on to that momentum for four dormant months before coming back to basketball and picking up right where he left off. Rodney Hood has already been made obsolete, but what if I told you that C.J. McCollum is ALSO being made obsolete but GTJ’s hot shooting? If GTJ’s progression continues like this, he’ll displace Lillard as the star of the Blazers. If and when that happens, GTJ should be allowed to steal “Dame Time” and make it “Trent Time”.
It’s never too early to start making wall clocks that say “Trent Time” on them and start selling them on the internet. But if you steal my idea I’ll call the cops on you.
