    In his prime, this cat was dropping 20, dishing 8 assists, 2 steals and 5 boards. Also getting an amazing 23 PER with being the best defensive PG in the league.

    The only other player I think is somewhat similar is Rondo.

    I would trade Sly's left nut for an opportunity to grab a player like him. Always loved his game.

    last season westbrook averaged 22/8/5/2 with a PER over 23.
    He COULD be good defensively, but doesn't seem to care anymore.

    yeah Westbrook is definitely that type of player. Possibly a much better scorer too.

    LeBron James is a bigger and better version of GP, and James does play great defense.

    27ppg/8rpg/7apg/2spg/1bpg this year. His assist numbers in Cleveland were even better, but he shares the ball with Wade no in many offensive sets.

    except as he has started to look for his shot more and moer, his assists have dropped a ton this year.

    But James isn't a PG anymore. Hasn't been one for over 5 years. I'm talking PGs. James is like a Jordan. It doesn't matter the position, he's just one of the best.

    James is basically the PG in their offense.

    Maybe. I'll have to think on that instead of getting my TPS reports done

    Just a great movie. We actually have a good sense of humor here at my work and have the actual TPS cover sheet we send on all reports

    No there will never be another PG like Gary Payton. One of a kind... and a former Beaver!

    I have the DVD and I usually watch it like every 3 months. I can't believe I still laugh at the funny parts. My favorite scene is when he asked the construction worker "Does anyone at your job every tell you that you have the case of the Mondays?" and the construction worker has this bewildered face and replies "No... No man... No way... I think you get your ass kicked for something like that."
