But what if the player receiving the punch doesn't change their ways on the court? Does that go against Jordan, too? That doesn't seem fair.
I was considering this the other day ... actually, I've considered it before ... and I would say no. I think Dame has worked hard to add things to his game every season. I think his distribution of the basketball, while maybe not ideal for a typical point guard, is something I've seen him make a conscious effort to get better at. And I think his desire to be a real leader puts his intangibles far ahead of Marbury. And I was a Marbury fan.
Ok now nice stats comparison to other players. All I know is that is Dame is a Blazer and he will continue to be a Blazer.
Huh? Anyways I'm the biggest Lillard fan there is it just seems ppl aren't on the Dame bandwagon like they use to be. Don't get mad at them. A lot of posters warned us about our favorite player
I think that people are a little too sensitive when comparisons to Marbury and Arenas (who were star players before their off-court issues--issues that were clearly not meant to be part of the comparison--derailed them) are considered mortal insults. It's fine to think that Lillard and Marbury or Lillard and Arenas aren't good on-court comparisons. You can argue that without acting like Lillard is being attacked viciously. (Not to mention, even if Lillard were being attacked viciously, we're still talking about athletes who are no relation to us, so we should probably dial down the emotional intensity.)
I've never understood this "makes other players better" concept. How do we know if a player makes another player better? If a player gets better, how do we know if it was because of his teammates or the coaching, and which player(s) made him better? If players come here and play better than they did before, does that mean that Dame made them better? If they leave and don't play as well, does that also mean Dame made them better? Seems like the kind of thing that people only say to support preconceived notions rather than actually having any legitimate value.
The thing is you still think you're fooling people but your not. Did the banning finally make you rethink your life? Did that lead you to finally moving out of mommy's basement? Is that why you have a new IP address, and could therefore return to troll us once more?
