There are several stages of Randolph: Early years- bench, then going off in 2003 playoffs as yes, garbage man. MF surgery and Telfair/Miles- couldn't carry awful team, struggling to play on surgerically repaired knee. THEN there is 2006-07- on top of his game again. Leads us to 11 more wins than previous season. Scores in the clutch in post and on the line. Averages 24/10, 22.8 PER Knicks and Clippers- horrible teams, no direction, no role Grizzlies- good teammates, good organization, returns almost to 06-07 form. Makes All Star team (would've done that in 2008 with us!)
Does anyone know if they've named the 2013 Community Assist Award winner? Fan voting closed yesterday, but I haven't heard a winner announced yet. Z-Bo was nominated along with Chandler, Faried, Hansbrough, D. Lee, Lillard, Love, Paul, Wade, and D. Williams. http://www.nba.com/2013/news/04/29/kia-comunity-assist-fan-voting-official-release/index.html
Awesome. No announcement yet. They both sound like cool guys. I met Randolpn in 2007. By far, the nicest NBA player I ever met. Smiling ear to ear, genuinely interested in talking to me, seemed like a really cool guy. Lillard is a stud for the anti-bullying campaign.
I have no idea who Curtis is. Right or wrong, without the Oregonian Zach probably stays here. I do not think he has changed that much, just as Rasheed was the same person in Portland as he was in Detroit, Boston, and New York.
Do you remember Z-Bo's MTV Cribs? His freaking pool table was customized with the Gangster Disciples logo. Street gang shit and fighting pitblls is what sank Z-Bo in Portland. Still, we should have gotten more than Channing Frye. Z-Bo has a post game that is ultra rare these days.
The Spurs held him to shooting 1-8 in the first game. I wondered how rare that is. http://bkref.com/tiny/hRxyH
