Josh Hart says he’s ‘overshadowed’ by rest of young Lakers core


#JoshHart has been solid for the #Lakers since being drafted 30th overall in the 2017 #NBA Draft, this year especially.

With the exception of a few rough outings related to a nagging ankle injury, Hart has been one of the most impactful two-way players on the roster. According to NBA.com, the Lakers have a net rating of +6.5 with Hart on the floor and -2.9 net rating with him off of the floor.

However, despite his success in his role, Hart told Tania Ganguli of the Los Angeles Times that he still feels like he doesn't get the same recognition as his teammates that were drafted around the same time as him:

“I think I’m still overshadowed,” Hart said this October. “Just because last year we had Zo, BI [Brandon Ingram], Kuz and like the young core … now you …so much, big personalities with the team. So I’m not, I like to have fun on social media and stuff like that but I’m not the crazy big personality that draws a whole bunch of attention.”

This isn’t the first time Hart has said something along those lines.

In an interview with Paolo Uggetti of The Ringer in October, Hart said he felt like he was in a “gray area” between the Lakers’ veterans and the young core.

Whether or not either of the above statements are true, Hart is slowly blossoming into a player that can’t be ignored.

Through 21 games with the Lakers this season, Hart is averaging 9.4 points per game on 46.1 percent shooting from the field while shooting 39.4 percent from behind the 3-point line. He’s also contributing 3.5 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.2 steals.

While his numbers aren’t jaw-dropping, his impact goes beyond the box score.

Hart might feel overshadowed now, but if he continues to progress the way he has, that won’t be the case much longer.

Why Christopher Reeve's ''Superman' Is So Hard to Leave in the Past

#ChristopherReeve #Clarkkent #DCcomics #LoisLane #RichardDonner #Superman Forty years ago, Richard Donner and Christopher Reeve made a Superhero film that directors have been chasing for years, depicting who America was then — or at least who we wished to be Superman. It’s now easy to believe a man can fly. It wasn’t in 1978, but today, in midst of an explosion of superhero movies, it’s a belief we give into with relative ease. Flight is most often the bare minimum of what we expect from heroes and villains who can perform any feat limited only by the human imagination. It’s not simply special effects that permit our belief, but rather an overall acceptance that these costume-clad characters are a defining part of our culture, modern myths at their best and populist cinematic staples akin to the 20th century western at their lowest form. There have been a record nine theatrically released superhero movies based on comic books this year alone, each claiming a major piece of the glo...
