    I'm glad I can say I was there for Lillard and Leonard's career high games. Both at Oakland. Gotta love the three, the two dunks, and then the hook shot.

    Polar Bears look white but under that fur they have Black skin.

    You would die from vitamin A overdose if you ate a Polar Bear liver

    Polar bears can swim up to 100 miles (161 kilometers at a time)

    Polar bears can be found in the United States, Canada, Russia, Greenland and on the Arctic islands of Norway

    When a polar bear cub is born it can not see or hear for approximately a month

    Which watering holes do they frequent?

    I ask only to figure out how they ruin their livers.

    Meyers can swim 200 miles at a clip

    Meyers can only be found in Portland and sometimes atop giant bean stalks

    When Meyers was born, he was unable to dunk for approximately a month

    His shooting touch will force defenders to play him the hard way instead of the easy way. He has Jabbar's height; why not practice a skyhook?

    Long-term: Meyers Leonard or Jonas Valanciunas?

    Like Jason Kapono once said, "I should have left UCLA after my freshman year, played in Croatia, grown a beard and changed my name to Vladimir Kaponovich."

    Kapono. What a waste of a good foreign name.

    I just love the fact that he produced such a good quote during the 2003 draft, aka "why the fuck did the Pistons draft Darko?" draft. That was the height of the Euro-craze, and he raised a passive aggressive, yet valid point.

    Some time has passed, and we're more realistic about Euro-prospects these days, but just imagine Meyers Leonard, if he were playing in Liga ACB. He'd be a top five pick in this year's draft.

    Reality is that guys with Leonard's physical gifts can take some time, and he's in a great situation to develop those innate gifts. Blazers fans knew from day one that he wasn't going to be able to produce right off the bat, and that he'd be a prospect that would take some time. Everything that he's showing right now in the "garbage games" is just a foreshadowing of what could be.

    Interesting. Yes, I agree. He should have taken the name Meyro Leonardo and affected an Italian accent. Naah, his nose isn't long and thin. And I don't know Danish names except Kierkegaard.

    Are you guys fucking serious? Did you watch the game, or just going by his stats?

    Kid looks like he will definitely have a face up game, but what else did you all see?

    I did and I will explain a few things I saw. He definitely has face up capability, but I liked his passing skills. Not saying they are perfect; but he's starting to understand what to look for.

    Definitely needs to improve the defense and low block scoring. Remember, Aldridge was just a face up player too. Hopefully he has the work ethic like Aldridge and improves that quickly.
