<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (PrimeTime @ Jul 10 2007, 03:50 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>They are also pure post players.</div>Not really...they rely on athleticism and drives from 10-12ft out to get their points. I am not very familiar with Aldridge (although I do believe he does rely on a midrange jumpshot regularly) , but a ton of Amare's points are on midrange jumpers as well...just like Bosh. If you consider Amare a pure post player, then you have to do the same with Bosh.

His height, frequently listed as 6 feet 6 inches, is as stated in his book, I May Be Wrong but I Doubt It, actually closer to 6 feet 4 inches. He received numerous awards, including Southeastern Conference (SEC) Player of the Year (1984), two All-SEC (1983?84) selections, two Second Team All-SEC (1982?83) selections, and one Third Team All-American selection (1984).[6] In addition, Barkley was later named SEC Player of the Decade for the 1980s by the Birmingham Post-Herald.[7]That sounds a little like someone we may know. Maybe it wasnt the best analogy though. Barkley was very finesse in college also though.

Charles Barkley is big and bulky. Durant is skinny and lanky. That ends the comparison right there, let alone their basketball qualities.

Their bodies and skill sets have nothing in common, so it must be the college awards. I'm done arguing about this now, because it's going nowhere and you are the only person that feels this way as it is.

As he said when I brought up Artest, O'Neal, the Nuggets, etc., his opinions were "valid," whatever the hell that means.
Personally I think Milwaukee should sign Yi and make a stipulation in his contract that the city of Milwaukee will steal 1,000 chinese people each month.

Damn if he sits out that is terrible. that means they had such a bad season and got nothing out of it.

Didn't you hear? Artest wants to retire as a King But seriously, crime would go up like 400% in Milwaukee if he got traded there.

wow this is going just as well as when Vancouver ignored Stevie Francis and went ahead and drafted him and he openly pouted on draft night about being picked by the griz...wonder if they'll end up trading him for 30 cents on the dollar.would hate to have to watch Corey Brewer explode in Minny next year too. (although I may be doing that as a C's fan anyways)
