  • This was my greatest fear about Kai's career: people putting him on a pedestal, to the point that he is being hyped like as if he was second coming of Christ for basketball, or at least an equivalent of Manny Pacquiao for basketball.

    The resulting hype/criticism has resulted into his other achievements feeling insignificant, like as if the only achievement that matters is making it into the NBA.

    It puts pressure on the kid, and highlights our notorious presence in social media

      I doubt the people who are in charge ie the front office cares what people post on their pages. Teams have signed players with worse baggage than Kai, players who's got real problems.

      Might be an eyesore and annoying but I doubt this will dissuade teams from signing him if they deemed him good enough

        Behind the Indians and maybe the Indonesians, Filipino masses with an Internet connection are by far the dumbest people online ever since Aileen Leng Damiles won Miss Photogenic at Miss Universe way back when it was just an online poll. Does his NBL23 Fan's MVP count as an achievement?

        I'd rather Sotto get a DNP now than see him play less than 5 minutes looking like a headless chicken like he did in stretches in his first season with Adelaide. The latter just shows he's not ready at 21, a DNP could actually mean it's really difficult rotating 16 players in a 40-minute game with draft picks, two-way contract players, Lakeland (Osceola) Magic players, and five other players that also got DNP's... when the priority are the draft picks.

        • Hopefully Kai gets some playing time. My former friend who was a bench warmer in our league suffered a depression after Kai got DNP in his first summer league game.

          • guaranteed Kai will get some PT, but it's always going to be averaging around 5 mins for 5 games , anyone expecting more was just out of reality .
            The SL stint was never going to be an opportunity to prove if he was worthy for the NBA , it's his overseas league full season that determines that, let Kai prove it over a full season ( a respectable sample size) .

            This was always the reality of the situation , anyone who suggested otherwise ( journalist like Sayson and Qunito) were truly communicating incorrect narrative of the situation.

              Living vicariously, where individuals immerse themselves in others' lives, is a significant psychological phenomenon that warrants careful psychiatric consideration due to its potential dangers. Relying solely on living vicariously for fulfillment and happiness can lead to depression or even suicidal thoughts when that source of happiness is abruptly disrupted. I recommend informing the relatives of your former friend to be vigilant and provide support, perhaps by considering keeping a close eye on him (24 hr suicide watch) at least until the NBA summer league has passed.

                  • Looking forward to tomorrow’s game versus Indiana. The Pacers have lined up a trio of 6’10 forwards as centers; Incoming 3rd year Isaiah Jackson (Kentucky), Oscar Tshiebwe (Kentucky) and Nate Laszewski (Notre Dame).

                    Jackson is a former 22nd overall pick in 2021 and is the same age as Sotto. He has two NBA seasons under his belt and is the starting C in Indiana’s SL team. Tshiebwe is a former US NCAA College player of the Year that went undrafted this year. He is the back up big man to Jackson. While Laszewski (like Sotto) is a DNP in their last game.

                      This will be a good matchup for Kai, based on reports DNP guys including Kai will suit up eventually, perfect time for him to show his wares

                      • sometimes I wonder if those posts/comments regarding Kai are done by troll farms instead of real peenoise. But yeah, we already have a lot of those fanatics here at IBN. Poor Kai, he's getting unnecessary hate because of this, similar to Jeremy Lin (and the Lin only fans) and Tim Tebow Fans (Orlando and Jacksonville residents have a terrible experience with tebow's fantards.

                          he needs to make a living. what do you want him to write about if he make sure everything he writes is realistic and backed by evidence with a neutral tone?

                                former friend. well i hope your friendship did not end due to anything basketball related. good luck to him and I agree with barok. if you still have ties with your friend, maybe a good few mins of catching, non-bball topic (hopefully positive), can give him a reason or 2 to smile about.
