    Don’t Expect RJ High Scoring to Continue But He’s “Legit All-Star”
    January 3, 2008, 7:40 am Stan McNeal of The Sporting News takes a look at one of the NBA’s biggest surprises: Richard Jefferson’s scoring prowess. Jefferson has spent much of this season in the league’s top five in scoring, rarefied air for a player who averaged only 16 ppg last season and one teamed up with one of the game’s top offensive stars. He may not continue at this pace, Neal writes, but his All-Star credentials are “legit”.

    If he keeps up 25 a night, do you think he could win MIP?

    RJ is not an all-star and won't be as a one-dimensional player like melo

    Here is who he is up against for the all-star game
    LeBron, KG, Pierce, Caron Butler, Chris Bosh, Jermaine O'Neal, and more.

    This must have happened yesterday. Oh wait, it didn't. RJ isn't a one dimensional player.

    Before he wasn't a one-dimensional player this year he is. All he is doing is filling up the Scoring Category on the Stat Sheet.

    You just lost whatever little credibility you had with this post.

    Mmmmmm...

    He is down two assists and 1.5 rebounds from his last healthy season two years ago.

    He is definitely more of a scorer than he was then, but he's FAR from being a one dimensional player.

    His outside shooting has also taken a nose dive. It's amazing he can still drive around guys. They should just give him that shot.

    Hmm let's check out his stats
    http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/players/profile?statsId=3523

    PPG: 24.5
    RPG: 4.5
    APG: 2.6

    as you can see he's not doing anything else except scoring which is one-dimensional. 4.5 RPG for a small forward!!! are you kidding me? He's more one-dimensional than Melo this season.

    Keep watching highlight reels and looking at stats, your knowledge will always surpass those of us who watch basketball.

    That is one of the worst arguments I've ever seen and as a veteran of the Nets forum, that is saying a lot.

    When was the last time you watched a Nets game, rather than the highlights on the 11 o'clock sportscenter? Stats never tell the whole story.

    Then what is R.J except scoring the stat sheet?

    Defender? I don't think so He's average on a normal day. I'm sure you all love Jefferson but he's one-dimensional THIS SEASON.

    Oh noes, the following players are one dimensional

    Ray Allen - 18.9 PPG, 4.0 RPG & 3.1 APG
    Grant Hill - 16.0 PPG, 4.5 RPG & 3.7 APG
    Kevin Martin - 24.5 PPG, 4.5 RPG & 2.1 APG
    Tayshaun Prince - 13.6 PPG, 4.8 RPG & 3.0 APG

    Ray allen has probably became one-dimensional in recent years. Grant Hill has become a role player. Kevin Martin probably is one-dimensional, Prince plays perimeter defense and is a defensive specialist.
