    Miller had a game where he went 28/8/8, and one where he scored 52.
    Aldridge had a game where he went 27/12/5, and others where he scored over 30 and grabbed over 10 rebounds
    Jerryd Bayless had 31/7
    Martell "I just got traded for a rookie" Webster once scored 24 points in a quarter
    Chris Paul AVERAGES 3 more assists and 3 less rebounds per game than Batum got in that one game.


    Insane if you wouldn't give up Batum for Paul.

    No kidding, huh? You'd think these geniuses would be more creative when resurfacing under another screen name.

    Not really sure how MM (or anyone) was supposed to pick up on your sarcasm when you basically posted a video link? Maybe the Mods have to strictly enforce the "all sarcasm must be typed in green font" rule?

    The problem is that there are a lot of total homer Blazer fans that believe that. Sorry I didn't pick up on the sarcasm.

    You start a thread blasting a strawman - some figment of your delusional mind - then you don't don't participate in the thread you started.

    I call bullshit.

    Definitely is some truth to the OP. I agree that Batum's ceiling is overrated by many Blazer fans.

    Re: Nic Batum is the most overrated player by this fan base in the history of pro spo

    I think Oden is the most overrated player by this fan base in the history of pro sports. He's a solid player, but he can't stay healthy, and he can't stay out of foul trouble.

    "We can't win a championship without Oden." I mean, that's just plain funny to me. I don't see anyone saying that about Batum.

    Well what team hasn't attempted to inflate the value of a player prior to an attempted trade?

    Re: Nic Batum is the most overrated player by this fan base in the history of pro spo

    Funnily enough, if Batum is traded as the centerpiece for CP3 it actually all started by the Hornets being cheap back in the 08 draft. They sold us their late 1st rounder which ended up being Darrell Arthur, whom we turned around and packaged with Joey Dorsey on draft night, and ended up with Batum. Good shit.

    Re: Nic Batum is the most overrated player by this fan base in the history of pro spo

    The whole CP3 trade was arranged and agreed upon back in 08. We took Batum for NO, trained him for a couple years. Why do you think he started as a rookie, even though Nate hates rooks? We agreed to play him in order to get him ready for his role in NO.

    KP was a genius.
