Depositions are a bitch.

I thought we were done with all these posts a few weeks back, but I guess not.

They are different players. Very different. Jimmer is a fantastic scorer with unlimited range, great stamina (to get such elevation on the jumper late in the game), good handles, and relentless in pressuring the defense.

Andre could be the best defender on the floor, the best distributor, post up whomever was guarding him, get boards, get steals (against their best player), and get to the rack - all in the same game.

'Dre doesn't have the game to garner a lot of press clippings or t-shirts. He still doesn't today; he'll retire among the top ten assist leaders in the history of the NBA, but will never play in an All Star game. To discount the argument, out of hand, that he was a more complete player (the wins against NBA-laden #1 seeds matters) is as unserious as the Utah fans who discount the historical nature of Jimmer's season.

i would be more than happy to end this discussion. i don't think anybody has quested the validity of the argument that he was a complete player; the word thrown around by la, funk, et al., is "better." obviously the discussion is a black hole, though, and i agree you on every count raised here.

Sorry, I'm not an Ancient of Days like you, and I know who Bob Cousy is. How in the hell can anyone be an NBA fan and not know who Mr. Basketball is?

You only know about him because his nickname was "The Cooz".

We're just questioning the widely-accepted dogma that JF is the absolute bee's knees. This is no trivial matter. Especially when many here argue that Andre Miller is merely the cat's pajamas.
