LOL Al Jefferson to KG: "we both have one thing in common...no championships"

[kash55]

Big AL is awesome!

I'm a big fan of KG, but I'm really getting tried of seeing him holding up his jersey and what not.
It's like, we get it! Great, good for you.

Right, Jefferson?

Garnett can't deny that his TEAMS and Jefferson's TEAMS have never won a championship, but AJ can't deny that his INDIVIDUAL SELF is inferior to Garnett's 11-time All Star self.

First off, Garnett is a douche bag for throwing words at a 4th year player when he is supposed to be this 11-time All-Star vet. How about showing someclass? You didn't see Barkley bragging to Clearance Weatherspoon about the number of All-Star selections he has.

Second, Jefferson actually has BETTER 4th year averages (points and rebounds) than KG did in HIS 4th year (nba.com, look it up) and if you look atJefferson's game, you'll see he has better footwork, strength and overall a better upside than KG did at that point of his career. KG just needs tosit down and take the L.

It's a different argument when you are talking about 2 individuals that are the leaders of their respective teams though.

awesome....the pups should have pulled out that win on Friday though...that was heart-breaking as an anti-Celtics fan.

 

[mjdalegend]

Immediately after Garnett stole the ball to preserve the win as time expired, he celebrated on the court as if the Celtics had just won a playoff game.

How does AL have better upside??...KG perimeter game was way better than AL's in his 4th year...he also was a MUCH better defender than AL.....

 

[ill4eva]

Kinda sad that Al's been puttin up 20-10 this whole season and this is the only recognition he gets on NT.

The kid is a beast, and once he gets some talent surrounding him, he'll help setthat franchise straight again. I don't think I can name 5 players with better low-post moves in the league right now.

well then in AJ point of view.. i hate the All-Star Argument...

Why would you even tell a 4 yr man, you have 11 all stars ... all stars don't mean anything... its just a fan base voting and if your not famous, youwont get in.. plain and simple..

Big Al with the comeback

. But seriously this isbasketball. Dudes are going to talk $%%* to you. You got to get back at them though and Al did. But comparing the two is apples and oranges. KG can do it all,he was playing all 5 positions at one point. Al is a back to the basket true PF. Al's future is ahead of him, and is looking very promising. But I doubthe will put up the stats that KG has, consistently.

Al's game is tailored more closely to Duncan's than Garnett's. It starts and ends in the low post. For being only a fourth year player,his footwork is remarkable. He's already got a nice little up and under move and little baby hook too. He's got about 50lbs. more muscle than KG andcan actually back people down in the post - something KG was never able to do because of his small upper body. KG never developed that post game peoplethought he would. And I don't think KG's perimiter game is anything worth bringing up. It's not something he is known for. And did you say MUCHbetter defender?

KGs size alone prevented him for guarding anyone 1:1 on the low block. So if Duncan is the greatest 4 of all time when he's doneplaying ball and Al is showing glimpses of Duncan in his 4th year then of course I'll say he has better upside than KG. I think sports marketing hasbrainwashed a lot of people. Word to Penny Hardaway.

i cant think of 2.

 

[2wenty thre3]

get 'em

 

[enlightened thought]

How does AL have better upside??
he's still young and avg a good 20 and 10. i think al is further along at this point in his fourth year than kg was in his.

I don't know what you're talking about...KG goes to work on people on the block when he wants to. I think that's clearly been demonstratedfor the last 12 years. The problem is that he is enamored with that jumpshot too often.

 

[allen3xis]

Al showing glimpses of TD...nah, big difference. Especially on the defensive side
