Your arguments have absolutely no relevance to what was even being discussed. You at first claim you have no idea what I mean by Vince wimping out. We then show you what was meant and you behave as if I was discussing the present. NOBODY IS DENYING THAT VINCE IS A GOOD PLAYER! Especially in the present.

ok. now lets move on to another topic...how about....do u think carmello anthony is an underrated player?? because i do...i think he is a much better player than lebron right now when it comes to close contest in the late stages of the fourth quarter. he has hit MANY big shots for the nuggest this season...lebron, not so much.
He is more clutch than LeBron. However, that is the only thing he has over LeBron. Underrated? I think he gets the cred he deserves. Not any more than he deserves, and not any less.

Mello has a way better perimeter game than LeBron, thats about it. I think one of the reasons that LeBron hasnt proven himself in the clutch is because he is laking in that aspect of his game. Once he has a reliable pull up jumper then you will see him take over more at the end of the game. At the moment he is easier to guard because you know he will try and take it to the rack, so you just collapse your defense on him.

on another topic, what is it with steve francis?? where is his 20ppg, and his highflying dunks?? i think he is upset because he always wants to be known as the best player on the team..whether it be houston, orlando, or now in new york with starbury.
I think the problem with Francis is........ he's a douche. He wants to be the best player on his team (like you said), and he's trying to force it rather than being a team player (much like Starbury, the self-proclaimed best PG himself).
I like Francis when he first entered the league. His team needed him to do everything and he was willing to. But I started thinking less of him the moment Yao was drafted and Francis refused to try to get him the ball. He's got the style and the mental processes of a superstar, but he's just not as talented as the real superstars so he ends up simply holding his team back.
There are certain players in the league that they are a pretty good talent so when you put them on a 17 win team, they may win 30 the next year. However, that same player if blockheaded enough can take a 40 win team, and lead it to only 30 wins as well.
This was originally only going to be a one sentence post.

Francis:
Pros - great athlete, great ballhandler, great dunker (sounds like your sort of player tanjot).
Cons - no outside game, no defense, cant run a team (which is essential at his position), no leadership and terrible attitude.

new york now hsa two shooting gaurds in point gaurd bodies. and with the history of attitude from these players they'll not sacrifice for the team. which is why i hate staphon marbury and slam magazines love for him... probably because hes an NY native.
i saw there were rumours linking hoim with a reunion with KG, but i hope for big tickets sake it wont happen. hes better off stating with the current wolves team than playing with the curse of starbury
Three. Don't forget Nate "Kenny Smith's Dunk Champion" Robinson. Although I don't hate Nate Robinson....... yet.
As for KG and Marbury. I can only see that reunion happening in Minny. KG is sick of losing. Why go to New York? If he's going to abandon his loyalty to the Wolves, it will be for a better opportunity than NY.

actually... new york has 4... jamaal crawford too seems to be entrapped in a body thats too small for him... he used to play at the 2 in college apparantly
Good point. And Kool, whats to stop me actually looking for Laker fans when going shootin? If I'm going to kill somebody, it might as well be in LA where they are most likely an LA fan.
