    jordan generally took the shot and, more times than not, made it. you knew he was going to take the shot and there was nothing you could do about it. i remember him passing to wennington at the end of the knick game in 95 and pax in the finals in 93, but jordan was taking the shot because he was generally the only one he trusted with taking it. that's not what i'm talking about though. Defenses had to account for the fact that not only was jordan the best player in the league, but that he would dish it off if he had to. Same with LeBron. Maybe you want to zone at the end of a game and take the paint away, but as a coach are you really going to commit 3 guys into the lane when LeBron will just dribble to the free throw line and toss it out to an open shooter? Carmelo's a deadly shooter, but if he has the ball, you really dont think "ok, watch out for the drive and dish here". You can sell out to just make sure a guy is in his face. With Lebron you can't do that. you could say the exact same thing about chris paul, though, or rose. i totally understand your point. lebron is good at getting open looks for his teammates, but i honestly want a guy who is a bigger danger to drain one off the dribble after pulling up from about 17-18 feet.

Steve Kerr as well, but your point remains. Jordan was going to get a good shot. Me though, I would go with Kobe. He is like Jordan in that you know he's shooting and he usually gets a pretty good look. kobe all day, no question in my mind.

    and looking at that table, it appears he's leading the league with the worst TO%, an ungodly 7.7 TO/g equivalent Carmelo really jumps out at you, i didn't realize he was so efficient in that spot quite frankly, i'd rather have melo taking the shot.
  5. Magnetic Curses
    Why not? he's not a jump shooter. he'll overwhelm you with physicality, but i don't think he has even as many game winning shots as ben gordon does. anybody else think he looked bad during the olympics?

    I'm sorta loving this post. this reminds me of the scene from the office when michael was trying to figure out what to write in the wet cement and kelly started babbling about hollywood boulevard and pam had to translate.

    i'm not all that infatuated with lebron. he's the best player in the east, but is he a player that you want taking the shot at the end of a game? maybe i'm just spoiled by the 90's.

    we aren't going to the tournament, guys. we'll lose out.

    did they ever decide if they were building a new assembly hall or renovating the current one? (serious question) Economy has delayed the decision further. It looked like the plan was going to be a renovation during either the 10-11 or 11-12 season with the team playing elsewhere for their home games(Peoria, Chicago, Bloomington maybe? can't remember all the possibilities) This was a cause of concern with some fans cause 2010 is when the big boys come in (Richmond, Head, Leonard) and they didn't want them playing away from home for a full season ruining their hopes. I'd imagine when by the time things get turned around our AD will leave it to the next guy to undertake.(Guenther's contract is up in 2010, and he's getting up there.) Out my ass guess, new stadium built for '14-'15 whenever the aliens come back for it.

    lol, he was baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad. He had some loaded teams at both DePaul and FSU and bombed with all of them. The guy at LSU who coached when Shaq was there--can't think of his name--was a terrible coach, too. dale brown. Yes, though I might have just seen him in his waning years. I think he did go to a Final Four or two, so comparing him to Kennedy is pretty unfair. i actually remember him as a pretty decent coach. he benefited from lsu's "all aboard" admissions policy.

    pat kennedy, at least, back in the day. but i guess that assumes basketball exists outside of the texas-oklahoma area.

    i thought both were bad. "line drive.........caught" bad. ironically, cory will be uecker's partner.

    i wonder how mizzou would do if they had to play a big 10 team.
  17. Magnetic Curses
    i think he felt really bad about winning. it was very odd looking. it looked like he was trying to celebrate w him. hey carmody, let's get ripped, did you see that game? that was awesome!! oh yeah.... has weber even lost to carmody? maybe once a long time ago. they could be brothers, though.
