    It's an odd comment - there must be more to it.

    Maybe he means he doesn't have to pull the laces tight when he goes to tie them to keep in snug if the shoes are brand new.

    He can tie them very loosely if brand new and still stay on tight. However if wearing a 2nd, 3rd, 4th time he first has to pull the laces very tight which he doesn't like.

    As someone who wore shoes a size and half too small for over 15 years this makes sense... he probably isnt tying them tightly is what he is trying to get at. Honestly surprised he doesnt have feet issues if thats how hes rockin em. I cant even have a top sheet on my big toe without sending sharp pains through out my foot because i wore shoes too small for so long while skating.

    I think Sharpe is much better than Batum ever was. He averaged 18ppg in his 3rd year. I think people confuse Sharpe’s personality with his drive on the court.

    One player played very good defense though and Sharpe hasn't shown that yet.

    Did he every night though? That was the problem with Batum. He didn't bring the same effort every night. He wasn't Camara. He never made an All-Defense team.

    Batum brought defense every night but it was his shot. Also the nagging injuries he played through because of his summer play in Europe. Batum rarely took any time off.

    I think his defense was fantastic in spurts, but overall he was on some good teams and he never made the All-Defense team. We actually have two guys on our team right now who made it.

    I wonder if Dundon is involved with these long term business decisions

    I don’t know why companies think that just because a player played in the league, they can talk about it on TV. There are SO many bad commentators out there it’s ridiculous.
