TB...so many good players you never had the pleasure of seeing. Ask some older people about Bernard King...wow...that brotha had the softest shot I have ever seen.

but kev jj was flipping money from anywhere behind the line. Very few players in college have ever shot better off of screens.

Tranjon Langdon ring a bell?? The Alaskan Assassian....lit it up at Duke as well...only to fade in the pros...

trajden could shoot but not like jj. Has one of the purest strokes ever. The big knock on him though, is he can't create for himself.

TB,

You shouldn't make fun of UC, a very bad UC team beat your soft, miserable XU that will go to the NIT, they stink, they are an embarrassment. The Big East is rebuilding this year, lots of guys went pro last year, and I knew UC wouldn't be good for another 3 years, they haven't had a recruiting class in 2 years. They have a new good coach, seriously upgraded facilities, the Mighty Bearcats will be back to where they should be, but even a very bad UC team, beat Xavier, now that's funny...

The Big East is rebuilding this year

A nice way of saying they are a terrible conference but once again will get more teams than deserved into the Big Dance.

Comparing Bernard King and JJ Redick is an insult to Mr. King. Redick is not the player Albert King was.

I dont think they were really doing that. If so that is laughable. B. King was one of the best scorers ever. Possilby the quickest jumpshot I have seen.

I think he can be in the right situation. He is a spot up shooter, there are NBA offenses that can accomidate that type of player. But defense is another matter entirely.

TB really needs to understand... Example, Brent Barry, who has spent a whole lot of time in the NBA but is far from a superstar, is a 3 point specialist. This guy has a fairly ugly looking shot but he gets it off very quickly. Two weeks ago in a Spurs practice he made 96 out of 100 3's unguarded while moving around the 3 point arc. So pretty shots are nice. But I am relatively sure Redick has never done this at the pro line. And Barry is faster and a much better jumper, passer, and defender than Redick even at his advanced age. He was also a slam dunk champion. The guys in the NBA are flat out incredibly gifted athletes and players. The college guys are incredibly gifted players. The athletic part does not necessarily come along. If you dont have a bit of both, its really hard. Oden is being touted as a monster draft choice because he clearly has both. Its just a matter if it can translate over and I personally think it will.

There are plenty of tricks the AND ONE kids can do and some of them are very gifted athletes, but if they ever played in a real game with real defense and real refs... it would be genocide.
The same goes for some college guys. They may be very good players, but just not athletic enough.
Redick really is going to have to find the right team.

Pgn, clear your pm's I'm trying to send you one.

What I would really love is for TB and pgardn to sit in on a North Carolina/Duke game right down on the floor.

And then TB could come with pgardn to a Spurs practice right down on the floor and watch Tony Parker. You would be flabbergasted. The raw 70 foot speed is amazing and then layups between 7 footers at full speed... its absolutely awesome.

Like going to an allowance race at a classic distance and then watching Invasor.
