    John Wall is Ballinnnnn

    One of the few young PG's I'd take over Lillard going forward

    better passer/rebounder/defender and has more potential
    higher PER if youre into that thing
    he's also not surrounded by mathews/batum/hickson/aldridge
    Wall is also 50 days younger

    Weird, the commercial for the Jackie Robinson movie goes "before LeBron...before Aaron..before Ali"...

    um...before LeBron? What exactly has LeBron done on par with Aaron and Ali?

    If you are on a shitty team; you can have inflated stats. Just look no further than minny. They have an average pg that had a decent per month and he's considered great by their fans.

    John Wall is extremely impressive lately, I might want Anthony Davis over him though.

    KG had great seasons in Minny with bad teams.

    Only shitty stats get inflated, some can't be.

    He's a little young, but single-season-wise I don't have a problem with it, he was really impressive in 2009 for example.

    He's very unpopular still so from a marketing perspective it could be a dumb tactic.

    The point is before great black athletes of old and new, there was the man who paved the way. LeBron fits into that sentence.

    The only reason why they used LeBron is because he's the current star. He's the one that all the little kiddies will identify with. Hell, most kids today would have no idea if you just said "Aaron".

    Hah. The same could be said about Por and Dame. We're 33-44, just 2.5 games ahead of injury ravaged Minny.

    Interesting note. Neither Thompson or Gervin played in the finals that year.

    Where's Elias when we need them to tell us if this is the latest in the season the #2 scorer has overtaken #1 in a head to head matchup?!

    Good point. Bet it has never happened this late in the season.

    What about the year David Robinson won it on the last game of the season? Wasn't he in 2nd place?
