    Let's play a game:

    Kevin Durant is a poor man's taller George Gervin
    James Harden is a poor man's Walt "Clyde" Frazier (at least in appearance)
    Jerryd Bayless is a poor man's Anthony Peeler
    Andrew Bynum is a poor man's Brad Daugherty

    Meh... Sheed was pretty damn good player. He made an all-star game, had much more success in the post-season as a Blazer, has won a championship as a Piston, hit a game winning 3 pointer against the Bulls during their dynasty. Skills wise, I think Sheed was by far a better player than LMA is right now. However, I would rather have LMA on the team and he has not hit his ceiling.

    Hey, this is fun. Here's mine for some former No. 1 daft picks:

    Derrick Rose is a rich man's Jalen Rose

    Greg Oden is a poor man's Dikembe Mutombo - who holds a potentially winning Powerball ticket.

    Andrea Bargnani is a destitute man's Jack Sikma, or a rich man's Brad Sellers. Take your pick.

    Andrew Bogut is an upper middle class man's Tom Boerwinkle with an Aussie accent.

    LeBron James is a living man's Len Bias

    Yao Ming is a rich man's Gheorghe Muresan.

    Kwame Brown is a bust. Sorry, couldn't think of a better way to say it.

    Kenyon Martin is a thug. See above.

    Elton Brand is a rich man's Alaa Abdelnaby, Christian Laettner, Cherokee Parks, Danny Ferry, Mike Gminski, Josh McRoberts, Shavlik Randolph and Shelden Williams

    Michael Olowokandi is Kwame Brown

    Tim Duncan is a boring man's Kevin Garnett

    Allen Iverson is a sane man's Stephon Marbury

    Joe Smith is every man's Joe Smith

    BNM is a ....

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Woah, too soon, man.

    Just kidding...but you think Bias would have been one of the several greatest perimeter players ever (as James right now seems on pace to end up in the Jordan/Robertson/Magic tier)?

    A few of mine:

    Jerryd Bayless is a lower middle class man's Tony Parker (talent-wise, not current production-wise)

    Zach Randolph is a very poor man's Charles Barkley

    Kobe Bryant is a healthy man's Tracy McGrady and both were a poor man's Michael Jordan

    Penny Hardaway and Grant Hill were each a poor man's Magic Johnson

    LeBron James is a modern day man's Oscar Robertson

    Nicolas Batum is a poor man's Scottie Pippen

    Adam Morrison is a zagfan's Larry Bird

    Eloquently put, as always. But you're right - Brad deserves better. He was a nice guy as well as talented.
