Rudy Gay or Keith Van Horn?

I kinda like Rudy Gay better because he's black, so he looks cooler than KVH. Borderline superstar material. Not that interested in "stats", sorry.

 

Where are you on this whole Japan inviting Jeremy Lin to play for its Olympic team? Curious.

 

No, Rudy Gay is equal to Kevin Durant. Didn't you get the memo Sam?

 

Sam you inspired me, I'm now committed to a WWKVHD? For all decisions in my life, as such I'm having bagels for breakfast

 

Actually Lin's not Japanese, but rather American of Taiwanese descent.

 

None of these poll choices are Jeremy Lin. This poll is invalid.

 

he reminds me a lot of former grizzlies coach brian winters...as a player.

note the hefty scoring, the mediocre efficiency, the durability, the consistency from year to year, the strict commitment to averageness for so many straight seasons, slightly above in PER, slight below in WS/48. gay wasn't quite the passer the former grizzlies coach was, but no one's perfect.

 

What's with all the white Gay comparisons?

Brian Winters had nice facial hair, though.

 

They're basically the exact same player.

 

But Rudy Gay is better than Durant..

 

I suggest you ignore Sam and f4p. They just don't get how good Rudy Gay really is. Some things are meant to be understood by only a few of us.

 

Where's the Jeremy Lin option?

Both are/were above-average, high-quality players. I do think that Van Horn needed to dominate the ball more so than Gay in order to be successful. Gay, to me, seems like he could function well as either the main star or a second option on a winning team. Plus, with Gay there is still some upside -- perhaps he has not yet reached his true potential?

So, with all that taken into consideration, I voted for Gay.

 

you made the cardinal error in this thread: objectivity. that's why up there: ^^ in that post above mine this guy samfisher is clubbing your objectivity into the ground.

he tried for a second to consider your point: by the end: HInt - his surname rhymes with "Scan p*rn"

 

so is KVH the white Rudy Gay...or is Rudy Gay the black KVH ??
