I feel like that’s on the scouts. Someone has to tell you he’s gonna do that….

Ad he’s done it more than that. That isn’t even the only time he did it vs the Blazers.

[FultzNationRISE]

So... who is he?

[Im so nba'd out]

So... who is he?

can he shoot?

[BigShotBob]

Hilarious but yes that's on the scouts. The bench and the coach should be yelling at their players too to let them know but they were also probably like "wtf is this guy doing"

[theman93]

So... who is he?

Jose Alvarado rookie

[Kblaze8855]

He does it all the time:

Id have to start fining either the players or whoever the video coordinator scouts report to. Knowing a guy does that and telling the team is absolutely someone’s job. Once they know I need 1000 dollars if he gets you in transition. If he’s not ahead of you he’s coming for the ball.

This better not still be working next season.

[ArbitraryWater]

i saw that man go off recently too

maybe the home game against LA?

Not sure.


definite player you wanna have

[Spurs m8]

This shit is awesome

Love this stuff

[FultzNationRISE]

Ok, so now that we’ve established who the hell he is.

What’s the deal? Is he like, available?

Is there any possibility the Lakers could snag him? Or whoever, it doesnt really matter which team. He should just probably be playing somewhere more relevant than New Orleans.

I could definitely see him looking good in LePurpleAndGold.

Or honestly wherever, I dont care.

But seeing him with Lebron would be cool.

[tontoz]

Hawks announcer called him Grand Theft Alvarado.

:oldlol:

[tpols]

Sneaky little bastard he is. :lol Purposely running to the corner to blend in with the bench before the sneak attack.

[Chuckbe]

I was wondering why you hadn't made a thread about this :lol

[Kblaze8855]

They’re onto him:

If you’re wondering…I will be following this story for the rest of his career. Chris Paul was ready and seemed annoyed:

He may have to wait till new rookies or just the regular season(less focus on prep) comes around.

[tontoz]

At least it will slow down their fast break if they are watching for him.

[Kblaze8855]

Yea as long as he hustles back it’s not doing harm to his team and forcing the opponent to account for him. See how the Clippers left a guy back as if he was there just to block? It slows down their whole operation.

[BarberSchool]

Lol Lil man singlehandedly perpetuating negative stereotypes about Puerto Ricans.

[Full Court]

Nah, that's not on the scouts. Players on the floor should have better situational awareness. The dude's taking advantage of lackadaisical ball movement.

[999Guy]

why are half the reactions CP3 has on the court just funny

Lol Lil man singlehandedly perpetuating negative stereotypes about Puerto Ricans.

:oldlol:

[dirkdiggler41]

He should wait for the playoffs to do that shit. If you are aware he does that sheit, just run it up super fast and you got a 5 on 4. It's not hard to protect the ball when you have a little sneaky one behind you.

Not really. Someone has to inbound the ball so that means that two offensive players are in the backcourt along with him. He seems pretty quick getting back on D so i doubt many teams could really exploit him for doing this.

[Kblaze8855]

Caught em….

[FultzNationRISE]

He absolutely had Paul on tilt this game.

Funny thing is this is one of the rare occasions Paul's defender is actually smaller than him. Bigger guys cant really pester like that. He's not used to dealing with a dude like Alvarado.

[Kblaze8855]

I feel like his little sneak walk will reach meme status at some point.

[iamgine]

Guy has all time level steal rate

[warriorfan]

It is a bit of a lame gimmick but if he pulls it off once in a game it can be a meaningful swing if it ends up being a tight game.

[Kblaze8855]

Caused two 8 second violations the second of which Paul got a technical foul after:

He reminds me of that lil guy on the Houston Astros

the best plus minus stats back up the visuals

one of the best defensive guards in the league although in less than 1000 minutes off the bench so not really all defensive team caliber

[Kblaze8855]

Hes the guest on inside the nba now. Making something from nothing.

[Kblaze8855]

It has spread. It’s gonna be the new “Inbound off the defenders back” move

:roll:

Are Puerto Ricans known for being sneaky and slick?

[Kblaze8855]

He’s still getting away with it. He just got the 76ers a second ago.

[Kblaze8855]

[hateraid]

His whole game is predicated on sneakiness. Like when someone will come down with a rebound he'll undercut and steal the ball. He comes out of nowhere. Id love him on the Sixers

That's f'd up hiding behind a coach, at least I would guess that's a coach.

Alvarado was on the JJ redick podcast along with CJ. Good stuff seems like a cool guy.
