He's like 6'9 235.― Matt Armstrong, Thursday, March 19, 2015 6:33 PM (Yesterday) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink
Guys like that don't really get injured that much anyways. Injury risk greater for bulky guys or leapers.

as far as i can tell when he was drafted he was around 6-11/220-225,
He was 6'9 in bare feet, these are publicly available measurements.
Even post insanity/injuries Sanders still had absurd DRPM numbers. He was/is a great defender.
― Matt Armstrong, Friday, March 20, 2015 5:59 PM (5 hours ago)
again when i was questioning the sanders extension there was much less data to go on, and DRPM didn't even exist yet. i'm wary of buying into hype over a season or so's worth of defensive numbers, because they can fluctuate a lot. i never said he wasn't a very good defender. i questioned the contract because of 1) not a lot of data to go on on the defensive end 2) the fact that he gives you nothing on offense and 3) the fact that he had trouble staying on the court because of fouling. this is even before character issues became so problematic. obviously the jury is in at this point and he's a great defender, but even leaving the character issues aside, was he worth 11 million a year under the old cap structure? i don't think that's such a no-brainer

My conspiracy theory is that kev doesn't like lanky shotblockers who are awkward offensively.

i think it is definitely fair to say that i get less excited over one-dimensional players, particularly those who don't have a lot of ball skills

Steve Nash is retiring.
All time FT% leader, third all time in assists, two MVPs (and one second place).

One of my top 3 players for watching all time. Pretty much singlehandedly got me back into the nba about ten years ago.

cheap shotting someone in the nuts is hella lame, like i can deal with taking a cheap shot as long as its not designed to injure, i mean we all get upset, but why the nuts thats just so childish

wasn't the thing he did in college incited by being called a racial epithet? not that the thing last night is comparable, it clearly isn't, smh @ marcus for the latter
― slothroprhymes, Saturday, 21 March 2015 20:08 (nine years ago) link
IIRC that's what Smart claimed but no one else heard it.
― Matt Armstrong, Saturday, 21 March 2015 20:38 (nine years ago) link
I'm pretty comfortable saying Nash is one of the 3 greatest PGs ever alongside Stockton and Magic.

seems to me that Isaiah's post-career tragicomedy has if anything led ppl to underrate his playing days, but I'm just slightly too young to really remember the guy well. all the footage I've seen makes prime look like genius stuff though, barring some famously dumb mistakes against Boston in the playoffs.

zeke was fucking amazing and his third quarter in game six of the 88 finals is maybe the most amazing thing i've seen in an nba finals

Zeke was Iverson with better GMs and less longevity

way way way more of a pure pg than iverson, more of a pure pg than magic even
