    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Can't say as I agree. Magic Johnson played at a high level for a much longer time, so we'll see what unfolds.

    oic.

    I'm not into samurai/LOTR either, I'm into using funny pictures taken from Google as a quick and easy comedic device. Sometimes I think it's a way of avoiding painful issues. A coping mechanism, if you will. Who is the real Minstrel? I have to say, I don't know, at this point. :(

    Not to worry, I found myself. I was behind a stack of books on the desk.

    Thank you for being there, though, at a tough time.

    I'm sick and tired of stats. Kobe is the best. Fuck the rest.

    How can a guy who was runner-up in the MVP vote be underrated consdering his team flamed out in the playoffs with two All-Stars on the roster? Paul is overrated, IMO. He's still a top 10 player. For Pete's sake, he doubled LeBron James' point total in the MVP vote last season.

    A worthy adversary, I would bow if I did not have a bad back and was afraid I would not be able to rise up...

    I'll learn the game, then I'll post.

    I don't rate players based on the quality of their team. Paul is fantastic, I don't think the rest of his team is great. The team fell off enormously when Paul was hurt...I mean, in that Blazers game, the Hornets went from blowing Portland out to getting destroyed when Paul had to leave.

    Still wondering how you consider Paul to be underrated considering he finished second in the MVP vote last season.

    Because I don't think he's generally classed with James and Kobe by the fans, in general. I don't think he was underrated by the MVP vote.

    This is why

    What Paul lacks in on the ball defense due to the disadvantage in size he makes up for steals.

    I don't think he should be classed with James and Bryant by anybody, and his MVP placing last year overrates him OM. His team is currently 6th in the West, and again, he has another All Star playing beside him.

    Oh well, I guess we disagree about it.
