Mookie was so much better of a player than Pat Bev. It's a dumb and lazy comparison.

Ao who would go with - current player Mookie comparison.

I’ll be honest I really don’t recall watching him play. For some reason a name that pops into my head is Eric Bledsoe.

mookie was a bad shooter, good passer, and great perimeter defender who led the league in steals for two seasons. he averaged 2.3 spg over a 13 year career. that's amazing. it's really hard to find a comp for that in today's NBA.

he's definitely better than beverley but i can see where the comparison is made.

The scrappiness and perimeter defense is where it makes sense to me, though, as you say, it's obviously not a like-for-like perfect fit.

That steal avg over the span of Mookie's career is a damn impressive stat, hand-checking notwithstanding.

So the Beverley comparison is a good one, Simmons is right, Verb is wrong. Got it.

Thought that was fair, unless, as Verb says, I've made a dumb and/or lazy comparison (which is entirely possible) ...It's not like Simmons said Harden, who is an absolute matador...I enjoyed watching Mookie more as a player, but, that's neither here nor there, though, I admittedly find the NBA to be a zombie league these days compared to generations past, so, mine isn't the most objective of responses, either.

Verb was wrong. It’s cool, man. Relax.

The hell are you on about? Not interested in "right or wrong", merely continuing a conversation for something to shoot the shit about...simmer down

I'd rather have a beer with Jeff than Ed (kind of obvious really).
