    Sheed played better defense.

    The only thing "sheed" could be counted on for was to meltdown emotionally in the biggest moments. He was an asshole that alienated fans and probably the biggest waste of talent in NBA history. And fuck Raymond Felton too.

    LA owns Sheed. Sheed never averaged over 19.3 points for a season and never averaged over 8.2 rebounds for a season.

    Sheed had the tools to be better than LMA on both sides of the floor, he just refused to use them or play to his strengths consistently. So I have to go with LMA.

    Isn't Sheed considered by most to be a player who had so much unrealized talent? Similar to Randy Moss.
    Supremely talented but couldn't stay out of his own way?

    Have to go with Aldridge on intangibles alone. Just for skill level? Aldridge and Sheed are similar in that aspect.

    Skill-wise Sheed was far superior to LMA. Same with his ability to entertain.

    The first half of that is bollocks.

    The second half? Not so much, lol...

    Sheed has made it to the WCF twice, ecf twice and won a title. Isn't it obvious?!

    For someone that has blind hatred for Aldridge like you posted just recently, it's pretty funny how you just defended Sheed... Talk about oxymoron

    One of my favorite players ever. He knew about Donaghy before any of us. And he was right to throw the towel at Sabonis. He was rightly frustrated with getting hit by the big man.

    Rasheed was never the problem. It was everyone else. Trade Damon, Pippen, Sabonis, Grant, Smith, Bonzi, picks and others for Billups, Hamilton, Ben Wallace, and Prince and we win at least one championship.

    I don't know how you could say that about moss. He's gonna be a hall of famer, hard to say he had so much unrealized talent.
