Jerry McNamara: Overrated or REALLY Overrated?

spunky mcspunkenstien goes 0 for 6. david r, you are a prescient man.

Nah, I'm just a cranky punkass. He was hurting - I doubt he wanted to end his collegiate career on the bench, watching the replacement point guard drive drunk to the hoop every trip down court. Also - WTF was up with the boner Boeheim had for the press down the stretch?

I love Melo, but there's no way Syracuse wins the National Title without G-Mac. Period. Six 3s in the first half? That buried Kansas and gave Melo, Hack, et al the advantage from which to work. G-Mac's a winner. Period. He did it again throughout the Big East Tournament. Put him on my team anyday - I don't give a s_ _ t what his stats are. His hero is Derek Jeter. He plays like D.J. He doesn't care so much about his own stats, or how he may look, he wants to win. Talent's great. Talent's cheap. Winners are hard to come by. G-Mac's a winner. Period. Put him on my team. He may coach it one day, or he may be the G.M. who puts the championship together. Never forget what he did for the 'Cuse. No one ever has before.
