Durant offended that Portland didn't pick him?

Here's a list of living people I found between posts to you. Each page has 200 of the damned wretched souls. For 6 billion people, there should be 30 million pages. I'm wondering what's on page 4,871,296. But the URL doesn't contain page numbers. Could you check it for me?

I don't think that's a false premise at all. There's a general ceiling on what a person can do (though one cannot necessarily place a numerical value on that ceiling). As impressive as LeBron James is, he's really not pushing any further than Michael Jordan did, talent-wise. And as great as Jordan was, he arguably did not push the talent envelope further than Wilt Chamberlain or Oscar Robertson, players from decades before him. And those are generational players, the outliers among outliers. Outside of those players (who illustrate a ceiling even for outliers), I'd say there's a general ceiling and the top hundred or so big men are likely to be pretty similar, in talent, to the top hundred or so perimeter players, even though there are more of the latter.

 

I think he thought he "earned" being picked No. 1 as he just KILLED it in his Portland workouts, while Oden on the other hand had a poor workout.

 

YEA OKAY. Were you there? Didn't think so. G.O. beat Durant in the cross court sprints, pretty spectacular for a 7 footer. The prospect of G.O. was simply too big to turn down, I don't blame anybody.

 

Yeah, I was there. Were you?

Besides, KP was quoted as saying Durant killed it. And Oden himself apoligized for his shit workout. Good enough for you?

 

I think people have the work out's confused. The pre-draft work-outs, Oden knocked it out of the park and Durant couldn't even bench 160 lbs. I think the Portland work out was flipped.
