Don’t Expect RJ High Scoring to Continue But He’s “Legit All-Star”

With all the Kings-related requests, I'll even throw in a bonus pic.

RJ def is not a one-dimensional player. this is what happens when people rely on stats instead of watching games. let's not forget that we have more rebounders this year, with josh and sean mainly.

RJ won't be voted in by the fans because its a popularity vote, but coaches around the east know the improvement in RJ's game and i really believe he will make it. then again if vince and kidd made it (which looks like it), then i think that could hurt RJ. have 3 guys from one team who's currently around .500?

one-dimensional players are like marbury, nash, korver, ben wallace. RJ does not fit in with this group</div>
WTF, NASH?

Nash can score and make plays Not one-dimensional at all. Jefferson is because he can only score. Unless you feel like a pure jump shooter is one-dimensional then no Jefferson isn't. But Jefferson has only been one-dimensional this season because all he's been able to is score.
</div>

wait, so your saying NASH is NOT a one dimensional player? the dude is all O and no D. its not a secret or anything. nash talks about them needing to improve their defense, but thats like jason collins calling his teammates out saying we need more O when he cant score.

its that nash has found the perfect system for him with the perfect cast where he can max out his main ability and that is running an offense. RJ on the other hand scores and defends the teams best wing for the majority of the game. sorry, if you watch games you can see that RJ is not just a scorer. sorry

Do you know how many one-dimensional players there would be if being only good at Offense means one-dimensional?

Here are the players that would be one-dimensional
Lebron, Melo, Bosh, Shaq, Ray Allen, Nash, Dirk, Amare, and it goes on.

I have a dilema. I want to say that Lebron, Bosh, Amare...hell even Shaq previously to this year, can get it done on defense, too. However I also don't want to acknowledge your argument or existence in this thread.

hmm....

 

lebron is terrible on defense. Shaq and Amare don't even try.

Look at all these homers, just defending there lovers.

 

According to this man, vcTmac does not exist!

You don't appear to be able to understand the warnings you have been given

I'm interested to hear your definition of a "one dimensional player". To me, a "one dimensional player" is a one-trick pony. I think you have a different definition of the term (nothing wrong with that at all, though)...because I believe that he can do multiple things: shoot great, run the offense, be a leader, and just take over games.

To me, a "one dimensional player" would be someone like...Kyle Korver, Reggie Evans, Salim Stoudamire, etc.

 

Lebron is a great defender, and is part of what makes him one of the most complete players in the league.

I'm a homer? Well I defended Lebron, Bosh, Amare, Shaq... and last time I checked neither player wears a Nets uniform. Let that sink in. Now, at this point any personal attack would be redundant before it would be against the rules, so I'll refrain.

 

This is a dumb thread, but had to chime in, because there's no way on God's green earth you can call Nash 1-dimensional. He completely changes the complexion of every game he plays in. Opposing defenses have to account for his passing, shooting, and the way he single-freaking-handedly controls the game. The sheer pace he wills on a game is like nothing anyone else in the league can do, except maybe Baron Davis. Anyone claiming he's 1-dimensional has zero understanding of the game.

Also, RJ is certainly not 1 dimensional, but his asst., reb, steals, should be higher for a player of his caliber. That would be a true statement. However, when Jason Kidd is on a team, every other player is going to be a bit lower in the rebound, asst., categories, because he accrues a bunch of those.


Here endeth the Lesson.

 

Because he's got the speed and length to stay in front of his defender, the size to keep opposing SF's off the post, and the athleticism to be a good shot blocker.

Saying that Dirk is comparable is embarrassing for you.
