Antonio Davis says selfish players are those who only play one side of the floor. Every player is interested in their numbers because when the contract comes up numbers > team success. The current player he used as a example of being selfish is James Harden.

Discuss

Discuss[/quote]He had 4 points.

I agree with all of them.
 
[quote name="FlyerThanDelta"]ESPN top 100 rank already have Kevin Love over Shawn Kemp :x[/quote]Ain't no damm way. :lol:

I'm sure I'm being a prisoner of the moment, but if there were ever 2 players put in the same sentence as each other that I really, REEAAALLLY wish could play each other, it's these two.

I don't care about the numbers. Mentality doesn't show up on paper.

Agreed. Plus, are there really other Knicks who are more "deserving" of having their jerseys purchased by NY fans? KP is having a great rookie season, its an exciting player and is a big reason why the Knicks are much better this year than last. So what Knick is more "deserving"? I think the only one you could argue is Melo and I would guess a lot of the jersey buying Knick fans already have Melo jerseys.

Yup ESPN is working on the Top 100 as we speak just saw from 100-98 can't believe it
 
I mean, they list Kemp as having six All-Star appearances and three All-NBA selections. Love has three and two. How do you come up with the conclusion that Love is even close to Kemp, let alone better? Maybe when it's all said and done, but they're just assuming Love ends up with more hardware, which will be a stretch at this rate.
 
just saw this on my timeline "anybody remember some guy named joel embiid? i think hes a highly recommended uber driver or something"

The dynamics of the strip club must be so different when you're rich, cause being a regular guy and going is kind of bland.

Basically it seems like there's a directive from management at ESPN for these lists saying that, whenever its even arguably a close call between guys, to give the higher ranking to the current/younger player. Pandering to the younger demographic they service, I guess.

That's why I don't pay much attention to anything from ESPN.

I've found that my enjoyment level at the strip club has been pretty much directly proportional to how much money I was willing to throw around (and, to a lesser extent, how drunk I was). The more money you spend, the better you get treated. So if I could have a pretty good time at the strip club spending just a few hundred dollars (that was only like once, maybe twice), I can only imagine what its like for Harden, who I assume drops a lot more cash than I ever did.

No big name FA is going there until that team is already in the playoffs, and even then, there would still be a number of factors that they'd contend with.

Only FA's Philly is getting between now and then are the ones they have to drastically overpay and hope they can grow. And that could drastically impede the building of the team 3-4 years down the line if FAs don't improve where they can't add top notch players when needed because they are maxed out on junk.

As for your bigs, I'm curious how that shakes out as well. If Embiid comes back next year and lives up to the hype, Okafor should be the odd man out, but part of me feels they'd wrongly trade Noel first.

Currently not even Noel can help Okafor on defense, and that's why they've gone away from it more to maximize Noel.

Hinkie did a lot of damage to the player perceived reputation of the Sixers by treating guys like assets and not human beings. And trading for guys left and right to cut them. Rightly or wrongly, that's what has happened in the mind of the NBA player.
