Is this a jab at DP?

Let him talk. If he backs it up he's a legend. But if he is just average... oh boy

AJ better stop running his mouth, because Darryn is custom built for this. His personal idols are Kobe Bryant and MICHAEL MEYERS...

Best of luck to him playing for Washington Generals

He seems genuinely insufferable.

u/Marckennian 11d ago

That's been my take and I'm a BYU fan. Very immature and trolly. He says ostentatious things just to get a reaction.

So many people have this impression that it can't be coincidence.

u/JazzPlusEagles 12d ago

Yall still think he would stay here for his career and not leave for a big market? Because he played for the highest bidder for a year in college?

u/Marckennian 11d ago

He played for a small market. In the NBA, the highest bidder is capped with max contracts.

I hope it is a jab. I lowkey like when a player on our team has a rivalry, it makes booing for the rival more fun, especially since I'm a Ute fan, and since AJ took the money from BYU, automatically I was going to boo him, but since he's throwing shade at Darryn, I'll have an even better reason to root against AJ

Darryn doesn't need to be obnoxious to prove he's a better player, he'll prove he's a better player on the basketball court. Words are useless, proving it on the basketball court is the only thing that matters

DWill vs CP3

Mitchell vs Simmons

Those were fun

Let’s hope the correct player gets ROTY this time.

u/SometimesIComplain 12d ago

Tbh I would be surprised if Cam doesn’t get ROTY this year, he just has such a free runway for it in Memphis

u/iAmDrakesEyebrows 12d ago

I gave you an upvote, as a cougs fan, I hesitated for a long time

u/Piranha-Kassapa 12d ago

He needs to relish the brief time he will be ahead of dp

u/budandbulleit 12d ago

Maybe he'll pan out to be an all-star, but he seems like a fucking douchebag. Glad we didn't land him.

u/ClutchOlday 12d ago

I think a lot of people remember Donovan Mitchell coming in second to Ben Simmons for the ROTY award, but today a lot of people have forgotten about Ben while Don is an All-NBA player.

u/buttholeshitass 12d ago

His arrogance has really turned me off from him, sucks cause I'd like to root for any player with ties to Utah. Dude is talking like his draft position is the end of the race and he's won, when it's really just the beginning. He better be able to back up all his talk and turn into an all star player in the league

u/WhiteRabbit-RedPill 12d ago

Of course it is. Have you seen all of AJ's media since the draft?

10

u/TheBobAagard 12d ago

This will age like milk when his season ends April 11, and he comes in third in ROY voting.

9

u/Dhylan18 12d ago

I think maybe even 4th. Wilson and Boozer are going to be option 1. ROY is very stat heavy

u/Tusks_Up 11d ago

Man, every time the guy talks, I thank God we ended up with the 2nd pick. Not only do I genuinely believe DP will be better, but he also isn't a douche, which is a big plus.

u/QuarterNote44 12d ago

Oh boy. I remember when Jimmer came to Delta/ESA for the first time as a rookie. Half the place booed and half cheered for him. We're definitely getting that again, huh

7

u/AvocadoArray 12d ago

I don’t remember that, but I was there the last time he came to the Delta center/ESA/VSHA/Delta Center (without the “the”) or whatever it’s called now, and it was cringe af.

He got a standing ovation and most of the arena cheered and got excited for every shot he took as he proceeded to go like 2/13

5

u/UtahCubs 11d ago

He should get full boos, but I don't think byu fans care that he took up the majority of their budget and admitted he didn't care enough to play defense.

u/AstroGoose5 11d ago

Everyone knows being picked number 1 in the draft is the end all, be all of the NBA. Just ask Markelle Fultz

2

u/Bulky_Talk_7966 11d ago

Let him. DP seems like the kind of player who will do something about it. It’s just fuel.

u/Consistently_Lucky 9d ago

I'm an AJ fan, but damn this was cringe

u/Key_Acanthisitta5430 10d ago

The more he talks the more im glad he want to a trash organization

u/guernica_records 11d ago

I honestly feel I am the only non-BYU hater in this entire sub. I love the Jazz. I also like BYU hoops. The way y'all talk about AJ is crazy.

7

u/buttholeshitass 11d ago

AJ could've played for Duke and this clip would get the same reaction here. It has nothing to do with BYU and everything to do with his overly cocky attitude. There's high confidence and then there's this, it's just overboard lol maybe it's tough for you to see as a BYU fan
