I mean, to me, it's kind of the equivalent of Bird joining the Lakers one year after losing to them in the finals, or Jordan joining the Pistons. He...
I think the knock on Durant, and I think it's fair, is that he joined a team that won the title. In fact, he joined the team that his team almost but...
Don't tell ESPN that ...
Funny thing about perceptions. Elton Brand averaged 20 ppg six of his first eight years with a high of 24.7. Shot better than 50 percent from the...
Arenas echoed a lot of my questions ... although I might have called it "Kevin Love-ing." There is such a thing as empty stats, and the context of...
What if he only turns out to be a Chris Webber/Elton Brand-level star? Is he a major disappointment then because of the enormous hype? God forbid...
Ideal would have been somehow convincing the Sonics to trade up that one spot, get Durant and then whatever else. I still think, at the time, Oden...

That's a very telling reply from someone who admits they haven't watched enough Duke games. I mean, it's one thing to disagree. But to try to...
In fairness, he came back right after that with a great block on a 3 attempt at the top of the key and his help intimidated a Mich St guy into a...
I don't see it. Maybe it's just me, but I don't see it. I just saw him get taken off-balance and give up a 3 off a simple jab step, though.
You didn't say he was the greatest ever, but it was comments about him being a generational talent and comparing his upside to Ja Morant's that...
That's fair. But Napier still was a first-round NBA draft pick who's managed to carve a niche for himself and play in the NBA for five years already....
Kevin McHale was three inches taller playing in a different time when bigs had a different role. Is he going to be able to handle someone line...
I don't think that's really true. In fact, I think just saying what you did -- "If you can show it on occasion ..." -- OK, so why does he not show it...
