Good point. EB also has a great sportsmanship. Rarely gets technical fouls. I just wish EB was a bit taller than 6'8".

 

Yeah, he really does have the Sportsmanship, something KG has, but he still gets alot of technicals for dumbass reasons, lately he's cooled off, a few years ago him and Jermaine O'Neal had 26 and 24 technicals, THAT'S ALOT. But at 6'8" EB is awesome for his size, imagine if he was as tall as Garnett or Duncan, TD's 7'0" and Garnett's 7'2" although he's given at 6'11" and also, T-Mac's 6'10"

JimBrown, just want to say that that's a pretty sweet avatar. Camby doesn't get enough love.

 

17 Points, 14 Rebounds, and 3 blocks per game -- he better be an all-star.

 

He was an animal last night against Phoenix with 33 points, 20 rebounds, and 3 blocks.

 

Since we're imagining if Elton Brand was taller... just imagine if Camby was built like Nene.

And imagine if he was 7'1" or 7'2". just imagine that, he'd be so unstoppable, he'd win Defensive POTY easily if he was built like that. Even better, imagine if he had the quick hands of Ben Wallace? Enough imagining for one day, anyway, I think he'll be a run away defensive POTY, he's been playing so good. He'll START on the all-star team, he should anyway. He's been awesome, but I'll bet Shaq'll start, alot of dumb ass fans have been voting in injured people lately in the MLB and in the NBA, but I really don't think anyone deserves it more than Camby. Oh, and Avatar thanks to Element :thumbsup:

[See Red]

Well, not Shaq, since he's in the East, now... but Yao Ming, since he's got the chinese votes. Ugh... I hate fan voting.

Didn't think about that :wetodd: But yeah, all of China will vote for Yao Ming, no doubt, so America, don't vote for the overrated Center, why not just vote for the one that deserves it? I hate fan voting too, but atleast I can vote for Camby, and i'll even vote for K-Mart too. I like those two, that's why I do LIKE Denver, I just can't trust their SG. Atleast Camby has stepped up, that's awesome.

KG is 6'11" and T-Mac is 6'8". And when did KG have 26 Technicals?

[JimBrown32]

KG is 6'11" and T-Mac is 6'8". And when did KG have 26 Technicals?

 

He had 24 technicals, Kevin Garnett IS 7'2" T-Mac IS 6'10" Charles Barkley is 6'4", should I continue? I can go all day about people who have their height listed as different.

 

I might be mistaken on the Technicals, and maybe KG was 7'1" But the other stuff is right.

That means Amare Stoudemire is taller than correct Jim? Because there is now way that T-Mac is the same size as him...Is Amare like 7'1" or so? Because he is listed as like 6'10"

 

I f***ed that one up, wow. I even do that s***. LMAO.

[JimBrown32]

He's 7'0"

[Manny Goes Boom]

He's 7'0"

 

Makes sense bro. Sry I snapped at ya. I know their LISTED heights, but your right, Sir Charles did it, and makes sense that ALOT of other guys do it too, s*** if I stayed on my JuCo basketball team I would have done it too. LOL Thanks bro, makes sense.

[Manny Goes Boom]

BTW thats a pimp avy, Jim. Element did it?

 

Say... Element could you do one for me of Shawn Marion or Amare Stoudmire???

[YanksHater213]

I was browsing ESPN.com today, and I linked myself to the 'Daily Dime', which basically reviews the previous day in basketball. Then it said for Dec. 4, Marvin Williams was the best player of the day. Then I clicked 'See how all 121 players stacked up'. I noticed Pierce was first, so I decided to click Season Leaders.

 

According to these ESPN Efficency rankings, Pierce has been the 2nd best player in the NBA this season, behind AI. Kind of surprising.

Yeah, Element's the best, and yes, it's very pimp

According to NBA.com I believe Kevin Garnett is the most "Efficient" baller. He's been leading in that category for the last 4 years pretty much. Mainly because he's like an all in one player, he scores 20, rebounds 10 (Atleast) and drops about 5-7 dimes a game. He's the most efficient. ESPN always has the worst views of everything. They can say they think he's the most Efficient, but he DOES NOT have the highest efficiency ranking nor the most efficiency points.

[YanksHater213]

Ummm... ok? Thats not true.

 

Pierce

PPG 27.0

RPG 9.1

APG 4.4

SPG 1.63

BPG .38

FG% .498

FT% .788

3P% .442

MPG 39.6

 

KG

PPG 21.9

RPG 10.5

APG 5.1

SPG 1.27

BPG 1.33

FG% .549

FT% .731

3P% .200

MPG 39.9

 

In pretty much equal minutes played, Pierce averages about 5 more points, about 1 less rebound, 1 less assist, slightly more steals, less blocks, 5% lower fg%, 6% better FTs, and way higher 3 point%. So I dont see how you could say KG is better than Pierce, or vice versa.

[YanksHater213]

And even on NBA.com, Pierce has an efficency rating of + 28.31, which is only .5 less than KGs + 28.80...

Yeah, I just saw that, but anyway, Kevin Garnett I doubt will go down in the efficiency rankings unless the team starts sucking royal ass again. He really needs a better team to work with, he's not selfish, he just needs backup, like when Sam and Spree were actually good a couple years ago, you know, when he won his MVP. He desrved it in 2002-2003 and 2003-2004 (He actually got it) and I knew Nash was going to get it in 2004-2005, but seriously, who's a better all around baller than KG?

[YanksHater213]

Haha, he needs back up? Pierce has Ricky Davis, thats it. There is no one else on the team that is a great scorer. And there is maybe 2 other good rebounders on the team.

Actually I'm with Jimmy on this one...KG has NOBODY. He's all alone like earlier in his career. At least Paul has Davis, he is more consistent that Wally Sczerbiak, and just all aorund a better player than Wally. KG NEEDS help.

[YanksHater213]

Wallys inconsistent? If 16/4/3 on 48% FG shooting. I dont think thats in consistent...

[Manny Goes Boom]

He will taper off...And plus hes not as good as Davis...like I said. And I think most people would want Ricky Davis over Wally anyday...hes just a better player than Wally.

[Manny Goes Boom]

And while were talking about all around players...what about Shawn Marion...

 

Shawn Marion

2005-06

Statistics (Through the Hawks game)

PPG 19.3

RPG 12.4

APG 2.1

SPG 1.64

BPG 2.00

And his effieciency rating is a 26.86 according to NBA.com's system. Thats pretty DAMN good if you ask me, and not much less than KG or Paul Pierce.

[YanksHater213]

He will taper off...And plus hes not as good as Davis...like I said. And I think most people would want Ricky Davis over Wally anyday...hes just a better player than Wally.

I would as well. He is better than Wally. I was just trying to disprove the mention that hes an inconsistent player.

[YanksHater213]

Another question. Am I the only one to notice how great Ricky has been this year? Hes scoring 22 ppg ALONG WITH around 6 apg. And people thought he wasnt a team player...

DAMN! I didn't know he was doing that well. I think the scenery change did him alot of good, and it's obvious by the numbers he is putting up.

[Moose]

37 points, 12 rebounds, 6 blocks vs. Miami...

[JimBrown32]

He's just like Tony Parker, he's good, but not consistent, he's inconsistent, except he's completely different type fo player than Parker. If KG had a good player, one more, he'd be back to 24/14/6 type of numbers. KG is the best all around EVER besides maybe Wilt the Stilt himself. Look at this, Kevin Garnett are the only people to ever have a 23/13.5/6 year. That's amazing. Although Robertson's 30/12/11 is better IMO. I think that's right.

Now he's consistent. His numbersspeak for themselves. He could win the most improved player award. Last year he should've won the 6th man.

Yeah...like I said, I think the move to Boston helped him so much. Sometimes a move is needed...

Yeah, sometimes, I think Shaq needed the move to Miami, Kobe was killing him. Kobe's a selfish ball hawg.
