    He was a semi-lethal 3 point shooter but not like "Jet" Terry. Good luck Troy.

    No clips of Troy's comeback?

    Terry has to be hitting about 50-60% from the corners. It has been automatic all year.

    Troy will be one of those guys that finds his way on the Spurs sooner or later and becomes the next "GREAT" shooter for them.

    I'd love to see the highlights if anyone can find them.

    I would hate if Troy went to the spurs because I could see that happening.

    I envisioned Troy as our terry replacement once Terry's contract ends this year. Oh well. I do love the brewer trade just wish we could have held onto Troy.

    Thought this was worth a bump for this recent story told by Daniels

    http://www.theplayerstribune.com/troy-daniels-hornets-fashion/

    "I’m really into designer sneakers, high-end sneakers: Balenciaga, Giuseppe, Christian Louboutin. What I like about high-end sneakers is that they’re so well made. I don’t wear them so people can look at me and go, “Nice shoes.” But at the same time, I like to collect quality things.

    I’ll tell you how I got my first pair.

    About two years ago, I was in Atlanta with James Harden — back when James and I were teammates on the Rockets. We were at the mall, and I saw this nice pair of shoes. I mean they were real nice. And I turned to James, and I said, “Hey James, you like these shoes?” And he said, “Yeah, those are fly.” I just couldn’t stop admiring them.

    They were really expensive, though — and this was when I was brand new to the League, not yet established. So I didn’t have the kind of money where I could afford to buy that type of shoe. But I still kept looking at them, sizing them up, just, you know … taking them in. It was this aspirational thing.

    And before I knew it, James looked at me and he went, “Hey man, throw them up there. Throw them up there on the counter.” And I asked him, “What? What do you mean?” And he was like, “Put them up there on the counter. I’ll get’em for you.” You might think that that sort of thing happens in the League all the time, but trust me, it doesn’t. James is one of the real ones. I was so appreciative.

    I can afford nice shoes now, and that’s a blessing. But none of them — not even the ones I’ve bought for myself — mean as much to me as that first pair, from James. And the irony is, I don’t even wear those shoes now because the gesture meant more to me than wearing them ever would."

    Wasn't this around the time Harden was eating by himself? Cool story!

    Harden no leader tho. Harden don't get along with teammates tho. Harden eats by himself tho. Harden no chemistry with team tho.

    Role players don't deserve nice things though.

    That's a fantastic story. I like the little details, like the one about it not happening in the NBA.

    My exact same thoughts. I figured this stuff happens all the time. James just earned some more respect, that's very cool of him to do.
