This is absolutely spot-on. It seems like all of a sudden Rafer is in a class with CP3, Nash, etc. now that he's in Orlando, while he was never given any respect when he was in Houston. I for one am happy he's gone...
I'm guessing a guy named Steve Francis doesn't ring a bell for you? Bob Sura was probably my favorite and the best PG under the T-Mac era. His defense was one of the best for a Point guards, he had great leadership as a player, he was an above average passer and an above average shooter. I wish Bob Sura could still play, but injuries plagued him. The first thing that comes to mind when I think of Bob Sura, was in the 2005 playoffs when he fouled Josh Howard hard on purpose to retaliate for fouling Yao Ming hard. This video is also quite depressing because this was in T-Mac's prime 2:44-3:00 was when Howard fouled Yao 4:37-5:00 was when Sura fouled Howard <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/On3mcD7LSaE&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/On3mcD7LSaE&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>
What seperates Lowry from those guys? One thing, they weren't chosen by Morey. That is why they failed. In Morey we trust.
Brandin Knight? really?we had him before? dont remember but this sure is a list of top quality point guards...
Unfortunately that was the one truly great year we had from TMac and Yao wasn't Yao yet. Too bad the stars never seemed to align.
