Easy, do you really think that about Wade? Really? Why? Because of stats only? Did you watch Wade play at all? I mean, are you going to tell me that you can't tell the difference in how Wade plays the game? I mean, this is his rookie season. You have to have attention to detail if you are to pick up little things about Wade that make him different. I'll tell you what. Take a look at Wads stats in 5 years...that will be the proof. This is very similar to how I felt about Sam Cassell in 94. Sure, his stats weren't great. But some people could tell that the guy was special even with limited minutes and experience. That he had a gift of playing the whole game. And we are seeing that today with Sam and in a few years, Wade (he's a rook now!). In five years, if Wades stats are still the same, then yes. You can compare him to Francis then.
I guess Francis is the "king" of the "and1 ballers." Meaning, he's worst of those types of players. Kinda sad...
Francis has shown what he can do when the spotlight is on him. He played a top notch playoff series against the Western Conference Champions. He played well in the all-star game. His effort in games certainly shows somebody who cares a lot about the game. I think that kind of performance under pressure, effort and attitude is what we might want representing our country in the summer games. He's a better player than Wade. He's got more experience, and would be a valuable asset to our team.
You would guess wrong, as Marbury is the and1 poster boy, and by that, I mean he is literally on the and1 posters. What a stupid post, seriously. Sure, francis, is the worst "and1" player (whatever the hell that means) in the NBA, worse than the professor, hot sauce, matt maloney, rafer alston, just the worst. It's sad. It's real sad. I'm crying right now. Honestly, I'm crying, it's so sad. This whole thing is just so sad, sad, sad; I need a tissue and a hanky and a zoloft because of the seriously sad nature of the whole thing. It's honestly just the most tragic thing in the universe. I hear violin music. This is almost as good as your "The 94 Rockets were only good because they hit 3 pointers" arguments. Epic.
Francis can't shoot from outside in the last season, in which he was required to be a system player and more of a spot shooter. Wade and Bibby are better in that regard. With the big guys in the middle, shooters are required to bust the international zone. So Francis gets shafted. Personal grudge aside, good decision by Stu Jackson.
Man with Boozer and LeBron playing, I hope they don't get tuckered out like Yao Ming does. I mean if they can play all summer and then not peter out at the end of the season...what does that say about Yao? DD
Well all I can say is too bad for Stevie. I mean he didn't want to play for Stu jackson team and now he's begging to play? HOw ironic.
Well its not really his team Steve wants to play for the United States of America and its not fair not even to get mention for the team
Oh, come on Sam. You misunderstood. I didn't mean litterally, "sad." I meant sad as in pathetic that Francis has not been picked over other *and1 type players*. I mean, him not being picked is not just because of Stu. The Olymic commitee would overrule him of Francis really deserved to play. Even rookie Wade is better considering his age. I mean, who knows. As time goes on, maybe Francis will be picked (after someone else drops out). And when I say the "worst and 1 player" I mean he brings the worst of that style to the court with his "skip to my lue trot" and "killa cross over for sho!" He's one of most inefficient point guards that has ever been hyped; and he's a veteran! His flash and athletic ablity makes him overrated. You have been fooled by his flash! Why do you continue apologize for Francis? How many more years do we waste on him to finally show improvement? You do care about him *improving* don't you? Or do we just carry him along regardless?
funny thing . . If francis was shunning the team everyone that is beathing now for wanted to be there would beat him for not wanting to be there Rocket River
We've already heard that we're trying to get McGrady, lol. It must suck for Doc Rocket that every single time he posts, people psychoanalyze every single word and try to decode what he's trying to say. He says "Hello!" and people say soething like... "Hmmm, interesting choice of word. Four letters. We're getting Nene!!"
