    Re: NBA Off Topic

    Pops is right though but I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing. But as long as he can be "more hot than cold" with the 3pt shot, he'll always have a job in the NBA(despite his lack of Defense) until he's done.

    Didn't really read the rest but skimmed thru and this quote stuck out to me:

    But he's also defined by something that isn't tangible: untapped potential. Eight years into his star-crossed career, coaches and fans still don't know what to make of J.R. Smith.
    I think it's safe to say that the J.R we see now is most likely the J.R we'll see for the rest of his career. Don't really see him turning into a 20-25 PPG scorer or being anymore than a #3 or #4 guy on a team.

      Earl is a role player at best, but I would take him on my team.

        I just read the whole piece.

        "Talent-wise," said Benjamin Hochman, "J.R. Smith should be better than J.R. Smith."
        The last line of the article does say it all. I don't think his dad really saw his true potential. He knew that he had NBA talent, and taught him enough to help him get there, but he didn't see that J.R. had the physical gifts to be an NBA all-time great.

        Defense and all the intangibles that pops downplayed would have gotten him to that Superstar level that he should be at. He should be battling Wade for All NBA first team SG by now, muscling Kobe off of that stage. You could see in the article though, that his Dad, who doesn't seem to be a bad guy, didn't have that wisdom to impart to his son.

        Do this today: Instead of $%*#!@& on a game you're not going to play or movie you're not going to watch, say something good about a piece of media you're excited about.

        Do the same thing tomorrow. And the next. Now do it forever.

              I remember at one point JR was being recruited by Roy Williams and UNC. If I remember correctly he had committed and then de-committed and decided to turn pro.

                  LOL I remember that incident

                  They played like it was nothing in the media

                  How you as a coach, get into a wrestling match with a player on the trainers table man trying to clown him then get body slammed

                      Sounds like one of those stories you hear while you're at the Barber Shop the way he was telling it lol.

                        Vince Carter AA'd Sam Mitchell!

                        Greatest story of our time.

                        If only Vince could bring that toughness to the court...

                          I know I'm late with this, but since the discussion moved towards Vince Carter.....

                          I'm surprised nobody has mentioned this before, this line legit made me lol for a moment.

                          @NBAonESPN At this point Vince Carter is 99% man, 1% amazing, but still a solid off the bench guy now that the Mavs have Mayo. #NBArank
