    CJ is probably the best one on one player we've ever had.

    I couldn't think of one better; Clyde wasn't really a one-on-one maestro, and B-Roy was great, but didn't do the crazy Harlem Globetrotters shit like turn Dirk Nowitzki 360° with his fake-outs.

    You mean a face up 1on1 type, not a low post guy right? I assumed that's what you meant. CJ is unstoppable for sure. Steve Smith was nasty with that little baseline hitch step. You actually see CJ do that same little studded step.

    Exactly; CJ's bag of tricks is about as deep as Marry Poppins's bag.

    B-Roy was so strong he did not need to do that - but I remember him going behind his back in Miami and having D-Wade going for the bleachers as he sailed to an empty layup. I also remember him changing hands in the air when he saw C-Bosh coming at him against Toronto - so... B-Roy was a handful as well.

    B-Roy and CJ are equals in one on one they do it differently.

    Roy worked out of the Triple threat WAY more. Jab steps and rip throughs were his go to moves and he had step backs for all of them.

    CJ is much more flashy and has way more ballhandling fakes than Roy could ever have.

    Not better just different.

    He's filling out that frame. He's been working out! He's got another 10 lbs of lean muscle easy. He looks stronger.

    Meh, it's the East and as long as CLE has LeBron and he's healthy, they will be right back in the finals (losing to GSW).
