Look, I don’t consider myself a feminist but I’m definitely not a sexist either. One other thing that I am not…. is blind. I’m not fucking blind and most people on this earth aren’t blind. This perfect score from Fran Belibi in ALL 4 ROUNDS is a large crock of steaming bullshit.

I’m all for powerful women. I am currently raising one and I’ve been with her mother for 8 years. In that time, I’ve watched her get a Master’s Degree and earn a paycheck WAY bigger than mine. Hell, this website wouldn’t be possible without her and all the greenbacks she ropes in. She worked hard and I’m happy to say I helped her get there.

But, if this is your feminism, then you’re doing it wrong. It’s cool that Fran can dunk and she’d probably win a women’s dunk contest but she didn’t win this contest. In fact, she shouldn’t have been competing. Not because she is a woman. Because, she wasn’t as good as the other contestants. 

You either admit that men and women are different (in which case you’d hold a separate competition for women) OR you stand on the side with those who contend that women belong on the same level as men athletically (in which case you can’t be handing them trophies they didn’t earn — since that directly conflicts with your premise).

Stop with your fake feminism. Even Zion didn’t get a perfect score for this dunk in 2018…. lol.

I enjoy referring to Timberwolves’ Guard and Apple Valley High School alum, Tyus Jones, as “Minnesota’s Youngest Son.” Unfortunately, there are a couple of problems with that nickname. First and foremost, no one else seems to appreciate it. Second of all, he has a younger brother, Tre. The moniker contradicts the hell out of itself.

Tre Jones, like his older sibling was, is a high school basketball superstar. If that isn’t evident (it should be pretty damn evident) by his 8th overall national ranking in the 2018 class or commitment to Duke, it is by his latest “Golden Archievement“. It was announced earlier this week that the 6’3″ guard was named as a McDonald’s All-American.

The McDonald’s All-American team consists of 24 high school basketball seniors from throughout the country. The organization puts the two dozen elite athletes on different rosters for an all-star game and skills competition that leaves the NFL’s Pro-Bowl in the dust. This year’s contest will take place on March 28th in Atlanta.

The Coach K commit becomes the 13th player in Minnesota history to receive this honor. Like his younger brother, Tyus Jones was also named a McDonald’s All-American. A gentlemen you might recognize by the name of Karl-Anthony Towns joined his now Wolves teammate as part of 2014’s class.

Along with KAT, the three other players in the above picture, Tyler Ulis, Jahlil Okafor, and Myles Turner are all currently in the NBA.

Currently, Jones and his Apple Valley teammates are ranked 5th in Minnesota’s Class 4A. He is averaging 25.2 points, 10.3 rebounds, and 5.8 assists per game. I know, right? EATING. The Eagles will look to repeat as state champions come March.

Tyus Jones left some large shoes for his brother to fill. As you can tell, Tre has failed to disappoint. Minnesota’s newest McDonalds All-American is already half-way down his older brother’s path to success. Why fluctuate from a proven gameplan:

• Win High School State Championship
• Commit to Duke
• Earn McDonalds All American Honors
• Win NCAA National Championship
• Earn Final Four MVP Honors
• Get Drafted into the NBA
