Well you have to take into account that hes unplayable in a close game when crunch time rolls around.Monkey_Driven wrote:So, you're just going to ignore that Ball has a (marginally) better FG% and 3PT% this season?verb_to_trust wrote:It's a better indicator of competency than whatever made up stat EFG is.Monkey_Driven wrote:True, but that is just one area of shooting.verb_to_trust wrote:Rubio is an 85% free throw shooter.Monkey_Driven wrote:Rubio.

You asked to name a comparable shooter. I did.

meh...you couldnt stop yourself from having a heart attackverb_to_trust wrote:Rob sounded more credible than Magic today with his response. He's a former agent so he is slime for sure, but he's not dumb as a box of rocks like Magic is. You can't just smile and charm your way to success in today's NBA as an executive. This guy couldn't even keep himself from getting HIV, did anyone really expect him to assemble an efficient NBA roster?
I didn't have a heart attack you dolt. Are you really comparing cardiovascular events with getting a sexually transmitted disease though? Im sure as a Lakers fan you've fallen for his act you're entire life though so I forgive you.Peeps wrote:meh...you couldnt stop yourself from having a heart attackverb_to_trust wrote:Rob sounded more credible than Magic today with his response.
