How would you rate his shooting? Give me a comp.

I'm with you on Grant Hill Verb. Before the injuries he was definitely better than Pierce. It is obvious people forget how good he really was.

Also if we are going to include Drew Gooden and people of that level in the Kansas v. Duke debate you might as well throw Corey Maggette in there. He was an underachiever given the freakish athleticism the guy had but he had 3 or 4 seasons of 20+ points a game and a few more that were around 15-18 points a game and was a solid rebounder for his size. Not horrible in my opinion. And Jabari Parker still has potential to be great. Duke is better than Kansas.

I forgot about Maggette.

What are your thoughts on this? I'll hang up and listen to your response.

Completely disrespectful to Lebron. Guy gets a couple triple doubles in a row and all of the sudden we're comparing him to Lebron? They're both obnoxious and can guard multiple positions I guess......

Kyrie is so much fun to watch, especially when he makes John Wall look bad.

I hear a lot of Kawhi Leonarad/Jimmy Butler comparisons, which basically means he is pretty limited offensively at this point but is already a very good defender and everybody assumes he will round out his game offensively within a couple seasons. He's only 19.

To answer your question directly, right now his shooting is not very good and he has loose handles.

Thanks.

We're about to see how good the Spurs really are. Some tough games coming up, then the Rodeo Road Trip.

I read yesterday that the Warriors, Spurs, and Heat have had the three easiest schedules in the league so far. I'm afraid the next 4 weeks could be really rough for Miami.

The Warriors haven't played the Thunder or Spurs yet, so that's not too surprising.

Nope

lol good one bro

I love how TNT freaked when Rose slow walked to the locker room to take a shit tonight. The empty hallway cam as he pulled open the locker room door was just so oddly comical.

Isaiah Thomas isnt an All Star in my opinion

This will be my first time sitting down to actually watch the Kobe freak show tonight.

If seth curry was named john smith or something he'd be playing at the Y.

This Lakers thing would probably be going a lot better if they didnt have one of the worst coaches in the NBA.

Me too. I gave up when it was like 25-4 or whatever. Man, what a dumpster fire.

I didn't appreciate the TNT guy (Aldridge I think?) prefacing his talk of the Kings-Lakers rivalry with, "some of our younger viewers may not remember this..."

A sign last night at the Lakers/Kings game. Solid.

Kevin Love is so overrated and stupid looking.
