    I was just about to say this...I actually hate when people bring up Mcgrady's name all the time here but that play reminded me a lot of him. They both have a similar build and playing style.

    Very languid, long, but explosive.

    I'm pretty sure what he did was illegal in 13 different states.

    Just shows how young players with superior phisical attributes would develop under proper coaching. That's why Morey likes upcoming young prospects, because what you see today is not what you get tomorrow - they could be far better next month/year.

    By the way, hibbert is quietly becoming probably the best 2 way center in NBA. He struggled in stretches this season, but patience paid off after years of development. Larry bird picked 2 stars outside of top8 picks.

    I guess that makes Granger expendable.

    That's the first time I've ever seen Lebron look like that after a play.

    actually i think phantom dosent make it look very good. It was way more explosive with normal speed.
    Also lebron was left on the dust, pg first step is really good.

    Actually, I think LeBron was trying to send him left to the help defense in the hopes that Birdman makes Paul hesitate and would have allowed LeBron to follow up with a block from behind.

    That didn't work. Lmfao.

    Is PG slowly becoming one of anybody else's favorite players? He's probably my favorite SF.

    Also keep in mind that he was a SG when Granger was healthy.

    If you watch the feet you can see Lebron do a little hop right as George flies by him. Can't chase a guy while your in the air, even if it's only 4 inches in the air.

    But yes, that was spectacular. Indiana has themselves someone special.

    nasty dunk....

    ive never seen PG play, but can someone summarize how he plays and what makes him special this year? I looked up his stats and they weren't that great percentage wise for all the hype i've been hearing.

    not a hater at all, just curious

    McGrady's first step used to be ridiculous.
