@ Knicks fans (or anyone else who can answer) - serious question. Aside from wearing ridiculous hats post-game, how has Shumpert looked this year? Particularly defensively. He's one of the few wing players that the Clippers could realistically get in trade, but it wouldn't be worth it unless he's still an above-average defender.

I think he still got his defensive chops. He hasn't evolved yet, like many thought he would at this point. But I think thats becuase he focusing on rounding out his offensive game, which the nix prolly begged him to do cus they need it. But I think if he stays healthy, get a consistant offensive game, he can make that leap.


This aint helping tho

NBA star Dwight Howard is under investigation for suspected child abuse, Cobb County police said Tuesday — the same day his son turned 7.

http://www.ajc.com/news/news/nbas-howard-under-investigation-in-cobb-for-child-/nh9bt/

It’s the second time Howard, 28, has been investigated by Cobb police for the same allegations, but he has not been charged. Howard was also under investigation in Florida, but also was not charged, attorney David Oscar Markus said in an emailed statement to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

“The Florida Department of Children and Families thoroughly examined all of the evidence and determined that the claims of child abuse were not substantiated,” Markus said. “The case was closed in September.

The boy’s mother, Royce Reed, a former star of the VH1 reality show “Basketball Wives,” has publicly discussed the allegations on social media in recent days, including an angry message on Instagram stating the investigation continues in Florida.

“Let’s get the facts straight!” Reed wrote Sunday. “THE CASE IS NOT CLOSED AND HE IS/WAS NOT CLEARED!”

Howard is reportedly seeking full custody of his son. Reed’s allegations are an attempt to get money from Howard, his attorney said.

“Even though the allegations have already been found to have no merit, when a complaint about the welfare of a child is made to law enforcement, an investigation is commenced,” Markus said. “We are confident the Georgia authorities will reach the same conclusion as the Florida authorities. The truth is on our side.”

Howard attended Southwest Atlanta Christian Academy before entering the 2004 NBA draft. He played eight seasons with the Orlando Magic before being traded to the Los Angeles Lakers in 2012. In July 2013, Howard signed to play with the Houston Rockets.

Teyana ain't that bad. That body is damn near perfect. Nice swag as well..What I'm trying to say is she qualifies for the "Sit on my face" category.
 
just cause you're a good shooter doesn't mean you can always impact the game. what if you're not athletic or have no handles, bad footwork then you're basically a spot-up shooter, playing like a Damon Jones type of dude, straight pathetic and get no respect from the real hoopers :smh: :x
i know just because you're a good dunker, it doesn't automatically mean that you can translate your athleticism into game-play but more times than not, it does. you're probably at least a good straight-line driver, get a good amount of offensive rebbies, can probably defend, play bigger than your size, etc.
