Tyrese
- Thread starter dafarmer
- Start date
My OP just said…. what if Tyrese had played at Iowa. So let’s say Luka Garza was an All Star NBA player out there winning games for his team in the playoffs…. you think he might get some coverage? Probably a full page story and all over TV. Tyrese…. next to nothing.
It’s just the way it is… nothing new for fans of the Cyclones in this state.
Never stop being you! Always defending Hawks, and not giving kudos to Cyclones!
I haven’t watched local news in decades so I don’t know, this seems like classic little brother talk though.
That's 100% what it is. There was absolutely no reason to bring anything up about Iowa. Yet he did it anyway.
Wasn't Ricky Davis really successful in the NBA? I dont remember people in Iowa talking much about him.
Lol, I literally just said Tyrese is probably the 2nd best NBA player from ISU. It's probably between him and Hornacek now that I think about it, not Tinsley. Stop being so aggrieved by every little thing.
Who? Successful,LOL. How many gold medals did he win? What a loser, Iowa fan and Cub fan.
I still blame Wally Szczerbiac for starting the over-rated smack talk.
Grow up, what are you 12? Let me gmfill you in, from Iowa, had a very short college career, played like 12 years in the NBA and averaged around 20ppg numerous times. I'm trying to use that as an example of how nobody really gives a **** about how guys do in the NBA as a reason for Haliburton not getting local coverage.
Unfortunately you're too dumb to figure that out.
Davis was a good pro but never All Star or Olympic level or close to best player at his position like Halliburton, he was often one of the more productive 6th men in the league. Tyrese and Hornacek are the best pros out of either program by quite a bit. Tyrese would be like a great QB And Davis would be like a great 2nd or 3rd wr option.
Davis could very well be Iowa’s best pro. I’d probably give him slight edge over Evans and BJ who were more one dimensional players. Keegan Murray could play a long time but I don’t think he’s aggressive enough to ever put up #s like those two ISU guards.
Garza got an inordinate amount of coverage for being a basically G league player on KXNO so I can see his point pretty obviously and he’s not just making stuff up, I’m not even in state but I’d hear it when I streamed KXNO. Monte played more college minutes in the state and led ISU to way more wins than Garza, is every bit as Iowan as Garza and has played 12x more NBA minutes than Garza and the first time I hear Murph and Andy talk about Monte’s NBA journey will be the only time yet “pro Garza” talk was a staple for a few years.
He did it from a Knicks jock sniffer angle so he reaped it just as much as Bucks fans have been for a few years.
I dont know why people still pay attention to stuff like KXNO anymore. If I dislike something I simply stop listening to it.
As for the coverage, they just won a first round playoff series, I don't know why that is something that needs alot of attention.
Now, if Indiana wins a championship or even makes the Finals and Tyrese is an integral part of that run then I would hope he gets some local attention, but they are nowhere near that point yet.
I would listen to Murph and Andy occasionally but the rest of the channel was brutal for years. I listen to them on the new podcast but if they brought back the parts that focus on Garza's G League career it's easy to skip in podcast format.
This is actually the only thing anyone outside of Iowa remembers Ricky Davis for. He was a pretty good player, but never an All-Star.
Well I guess this explains why Garza still gets covered. Being from Iowa and leading the Hawks on that epic NCAA tourney run…
Continuing to downplay Tyrese I see!
Just admit you’re a Hawkeye lover and rip the band aid off. It’s okay man! Life will go on. You continue to downplay Tyrese’s accomplishments and propping up Iowa nobodies like Davis…. you aren’t fooling anyone.
