After watching Harden twice in a week, I'm convinced that a guy like Meyers Leonard needs acting classes. Meyers has more game than we give him credit for but he can't sell shit to a ref...when he makes a boneheaded mistake, he cocks his head to the side and shrugs, looking baffled. Point is..selling fake missed asignments and getting calls in your favor requires some acting chops....which a guy like Meyers just doesn't have in his toolbox. I suggest we get a stuntman coach to teach our players how to roll with a punch...sell a dive or hide a mistake. Since Leonard is the new Batum as in polarizing the fanbase...this might just solve the problem!
Ive been rewatching breaking bad and there is a scene where Walt is talking to Skyler about danger at the door but it's really "he is the one who knocks". Like Bones said, Meyers doesn't need to become a flopper, he needs to embrace the roll of "flop police". Ive seen some of you guys saying it before, and I think there's truth in it - Meyers seems to channel his inner Przybilla.
good posts all around! Meyers just seems like the guy Jackie Chan ties to a post in toilet paper and I think he'd add to his game ....maybe I should have gone with Salsa dancing lessons....stunt man skills have far reaching benefits, but the NBA is adding a bit of wrestle mania to it when you look at the allstar nods.
What is the background on his acting? Like movies and shit? I just heard he's an actor that's it haha
Meyers is caucasian, therefore he is not eligible for favoritism (or even fairness) from the refs. It's a Black Privilege thing.
I think Meyers should box every day during the off season. It would toughen him up, and improve his lateral quickness; get those feet moving. Maybe we can hire the same guy the Italian national soccer team uses.
