    Man I was about to post this.

    Absolutely absurd how good this guy is. I said in another post, I feel when watching him the same way I felt with Jordan. You can sense greatness.

    His numbers and the shots that he hits are insane. The guy seems to make every shot when it matters most, and that stat on shooting 53% from the right corner 3 is absolutely not fair when he is so good everywhere else.

    it really grinds my gears when I see the word "evolution" used to refer to one person or being.

    Why would a valid usage of the word bother you?

    It can be used colloquially.....but because of how I have heard the term "evolution" defined in various science classes, texts, and studies it is a tad irritating to hear it used in a context that, in those areas, would get you laughed out of the room.

    It's like when people say "I have a theory" when they mean "I have a hunch"

    Colloquially it's okay but....c'mon lol

    Wow really? This is really sad to see smh. The evolution of a player is an expression used to mean he has grown and developed. You really take this that seriously, and get irritated about it.. :confused: C'mon man.. go outside!

    Here's a LEGIT spelling complaint..
