Re: Which Players Have the Most Overrated POTENTIAL In The NBA???

First of all, I'm lurking? Why single me out when others are doing the same deal?

Second, angry? No. Annoyed? Yeah. Because all I asked for was for you and Born to back up what you said. You two were the ones that got defensive and wanted to show up someone. That's why all of this happened.

Let's get somethings straight. RealGM? You're really using that as your evidence? The same spot where dudes concoct trade scenarios like it's going to happen?

I have no beef. I offered the homer to stop this in the thread, but he kept it up as you can see.

My words were taken out of context, made to mean something else. Don't believe me, cool. But don't point me out as the person that started this and continued this.

I explained to you my reasoning on why i wasnt going to "prove it".

I did not want to waste my time digging up old threads to prove a point, i was basically over it at that point.

I personally didnt get defensive at all, nor was i trying to show anyone up.

Meanwhil while you may not go to RealGM, a lot of educated basketball fans DO go on there, but you are right there are some idiots who concot ridiculous trade scenarios, but good basketball discussion can still be had.

There is no way for me to prove if the people on RealGM are idiots or basketball savants.

But we should all use a little humilty in recognizing that just because WE might feel a certain way thats not neccesarrily the way others feel, nor the right way.

And for the record I never quaoted anything you said and tried to use it against you.

With all that being said i still personally think Louis Williams potential is a bit overrated, based on the things ive read about him, and others viewpoints.

I may not be wrong, I may not be right. But we do disagree on the viewpoint that Williams potential is overrated.

at which point i will now ask you:
As a Sixers fan what did you expect he would be when the sixers drafted him.

Louis Williams > Marcus Williams

Re: Which Players Have the Most Overrated POTENTIAL In The NBA???

Marcus williams is a good *** pick.

wasnt he supposed to be the heir apparent to JAson Kidd.
now he cant even sniff the court on my squad.

he comes tot he warriors supposed to be fully equipped for a uptempo team yet his fat *** cant even get on the court.

It's funny he doesnt even come ot the games anymore and sit on the bench.

I'm sure nellie will give him some charity minutes so he cana tleast get a minimum contract next year with some team

Listen guys

If you want the thread to remain open keep it on topic and off of other posters.

I'll lock this one up quick if it continues and hand out infractions to whomever disregards the warning

Rondo, while good, gets plenty of space to work with because of Pierce, KG, and Allen. I'm not convinced of him...yet.

That's just straight bs.The Big 3 doesn't even play Rondo's style of game he's a fast pace pg actually.

You see his numbers w/o KG

1st game

32 points 10 assist 6 rebounds 3 steals 37 minutes 13-18 shooting

2nd Game

14 points 8 assist 8 rebounds 5-7 shooting 31 minutes(Most of this was done in the 1st half due to the blowout)

People Don't penalize Nash for playing with Stat,Shaq,and Richardson

Or Tony P with Duncan and Manu

Billups in the Pistons younger days with Sheed,Rip,Prince,and Wallace

Every point guard needs a supporting cast look at what Magic had..Stockton,etc...

Have you watched the Celtics w/o Rondo they look like a totally different team.

Ughhh....don't remind me.

And I actually thought he was the future for us.

Re: Which Players Have the Most Overrated POTENTIAL In The NBA???

The logic about Rondo being the 3rd best PG is ridiculous.

Best defender at the point guard spot and a triple double threat every game shooting above 50% on a championship level team doesn't seem ridiculous.

It's only two pg's that has distinguished themselves Paul and Williams

Re: Which Players Have the Most Overrated POTENTIAL In The NBA???

I mean i know i never personally attacked you, or your thoughts. but if your beef is with someone else why not just take it up with them 1 on 1.

this is a good thread and i just dont want it locked because of arguing over Louis Williams.

The issue isn't Louis Williams. When you draft a HS scorer, your hopes are generally that he's better than 12 pts, 38% FG, 28% 3pt and 2 assts and 2 turnovers 3 years later. Maybe not, but I hope my GMs are aiming higher than that. Best point about Williams is that he hasn't had as much PT as other people in his draft class.

The issue is having a discussion without name calling, ranting, and trying to make things personal. No disrespect to anyone, but most people are trying to have a reasonable discussion in here. Most people aren't doing the name calling. And if you let someone be insulted repeatedly, there's only so much time before that person reacts.

If I wasn't on my phone right now quoting this, i'd tear this apart easily.

Re: Which Players Have the Most Overrated POTENTIAL In The NBA???

Wait..didn't your fraudulent homer *** just say a few days ago that you wanted AI back on the Sixers, paired up with Lou Will?

Yea...and that has what to do w/ what? Today I still feel the same way too.

GSW, Nick Young was mentioned already.

Here's one how about Acie Law?

He was coming from Texas A&M w/ high hopes. Supposed to fortify the PG situation in ATL after a yr of Tyronn Lue. ATL trades Al Harrington to get him, and then has to trade again to acquire another PG in Bibby.

Was Marvin Williams mentioned yet?

It'll still be here when you get next to a cpu,I want to hear what you have to say

Please don't bring up another Big 3 argument because the greatest pg to do it had a HOF supporting cast also...MAGIC

i didn't know anything about him, really. And where he was drafted and seeing that he went onto the developmental league...I expected nothing of him. At all. But I gave BK the benefit of the doubt because he could draft.
