Why is the weakest link on the team talking lol I swear if they don't achieve that it's because Artest can't do anything anymore
Remember when the Heat promised 8 championship rings? Or when all the analysts predicted 75+ wins for them in a season? Lakers < Hype
How's that being cocky? He says they want to try to beat the record. He didn't flat out say we are going to win 73 games
You really think so? Less than 8 points per and sub 40% shooting 2 years straight. And his defense has definitely fallen off along with his athleticism.
He takes the least amount of shots in the starting line up. His D is still above average despite him being slow due to his natural instincts. I've seen other one sided D players get more slack. He started off the season incredibly out of shape but got better as the season progressed. Had that great streak toward the end of the season when Kobe was out for awhile where he was averaging near 17 pts on above 47%. Still decent to me.
He's just yapping his mouth to get attention. Not worth 5 seconds of attention. Anything more than that is rewarding him.
He's started out slow but he finished strong both years. 2nd half of 2011: 10 points, 40% FG, 36.7% 3pt FG, 1.8 steals 2nd half of 2012: 10.7 points, 43% FG, 33% 3pt FG, 1.4 steals
