    Those guys weren't one-dimensional, undersized shooting guards. They impacted the game in other ways. Please don't compare Bayless to any of them, it's insulting.

    When Bayless doesn't score, he's a waste of space on the court since he doesn't excel in any other area.

    He hit 5 "foot on the three point line" shots in a row in our win against the Lakers.

    In terms of win score per 48 minutes, Bayless compares favorably to most of the guards on that list. Just behind Kobe Bryant. Just ahead of Carmelo Anthony. Way ahead of Glen Rice and he's well ahead of PF Dirk Nowitzki.

    Does it really matter if a guy is one dimensional anyway? His one dimension is pretty outstanding and he seemingly can score at will. We don't need 5 clones of Brandon Roy on the floor to win, do we?

    And if you just want to compare him to his peers, his production is 3rd of guards 22 or younger. Behind only Ty Lawson and James Harden. He's ahead of Russell Westbrook, Tyreke Evans, O.J. Mayo, Derrick Rose, D.J. Augustin, Eric Gordon, Marcus Thornton, Brandon Jennings, Stephen Curry, Rodrigue Beaubois, DeMar DeRozan, Mike Conley, Eric Maynor, Darren Collison, Jonny Flynn, Jrue Holiday, etc...

    One dimensional or not, he's pretty fucking good.

    Who? Bayless?

    I thought we were talking about Bayless.

    In which dimension is he so good? Are you there right now?
