Ok I might be BIAS to Maryland because my Nephew Sage Tolentino is on this team but… Coach Kelly Grant and his staff prepared thes young Spartan MEN for WAR. From day 1 they worked SUPER HARD and I witnessed that. They were not perfect but they BUSTED THEIR BUTS!!! Super stoked for them!!! The starting 5 Marcus, Makoto, Payton, Kalae and Niko set the FOUNDATION! You know how they say defense WINS Championships… that is this TEAM. #UnrealD Reserves were key too. #GoSpartans

@2Cents
You need to know your facts. KNG left Iolani 8th grade not 9th and repeat somewhere else not SF. That would make him ineligible if he repeated at SF. Know your facts and know your Rules

People forget or don’t know that KN played his freshmen year at Iolani, moved to SF, repeated freshmen year and played four years there.

Hope they learned their lesson…taking the easy route doesn’t get you to states.

If you’re going to lump him in the “best ever” conversation, you have to omit his first 3 years at D2. Therefore, there is this one year by which he must be compared to the best guards ever. Truth is, not making the state tourney in his only year at D1 doesn’t bode well for saying hes one of the best to come out of this state.

I know a few graduate student athletes that worked hard in the gym and weight room every single day. In fact, I saw one from Kamehameha working out at the park near my Marco Polo condo shooting on Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, and New Year’s Day. I heard from my son’s classmate at Punahou that plays club with him, he goes to the YMCA during regular days and had high GPA in AP classes. He was someone to really look up to like my son and family did, even though our son doesn’t play basketball but baseball. We haven’t seen as much support or write ups on him as these brothers. Call me biased. The only thing that has merit in its entirety is not only hardwork and heart, but also teamwork, ability to score high while sharing the ball, and maintaining a high school GPA. Does anyone know if the brothers are scholars too?

Why are people impressed with James Harden’s 30 point game streak?
Almost any player that shoots 20 3’s and 15-20 FT’s a game should score 30 points a game!! Harden’s streak does not impress ME.
The Ng’s are good but not Gatorade POY good. But they do what needs to be done to help St Francis win games.

Punavision? OR SFvision!

Although I agree hardworker and heart! But! What turns a lot of people off is the fact that they got all their accolades going the EASY ROUTE!! First, moving down from D1 after playing one year in hopes he’ll grow taller. Second, received GPOY while playing on the lower level where many D1 players could achieve if they played down (EASY ROUTE). Third, moved back up to D1 level when it’s less competitive (again EASY ROUTE). SF wouldn’t of stand a chance playing D1 last year!

So, we are NOT hating! RESPECT IS EARNED NOT JUST GIVEN!!!

Got to respond, KiNg Sr shot 32-56 (57% pretty darn good) in those 2 games, comparing to La Lumiere (25-0 #1 in country, could double team all game long) where he shot 32% (OK) is just not right. Going to miss watching him, passionate and dedicated kid with skill and BB IQ off the charts.

Never seen so many adults hate on a high school player he’s one of the best players we’ve in a while. Don’t hate, he’s also changing the culture in Hawaii hoops. I know many kids on our campus that look up to him. Hard worker and plays with a ton of heart. Some adults need to get a life and find something better to do than to hate on a high school student athlete.

@ SpartanNation

We will keep winning championships…
What championships you talking about?
ILH or States?
The real championship is States. I can’t remember when was the last time you guys WON ONE.
