    This is probably more headscratching:

    Harden is now Courtney Lee and Jeremy Lin is Anthony Johnson. The only favorable comparison is Beverly to Alston, I don't recall Beverly having those skip-to-my-lou handles.

    Turkeyglue was a very good player on the magic. It's a great comparison. Both of them could handle the ball, pass, shoot, drive.

    dwight - you didn't win anything there. to them you're just another ex-player that left.

    win something in houston and #12 will be revered. but you gotta win first. that's how things work. you win, people will love you.

    hmm shaq definitely did that .. but of the 3 players that left there Dwight probably was handled the worst. He basically mailed it in for a whole season, got his coach fired, pouted and complained and just gave up on the team. We hate tmac for doing that to us so imagine how their fans feel.

    You sure? At least the Magic got something for Dwight. The Magic didn't get **** for Shaq.

    Not sure why he's upset considering he never accomplished anything for that franchise and he left on bad terms.

    I'm pretty sure TMac gave up on the Magic and pouted until he was traded to the Rockets. Stars pout and prance about when things don't go their way, with the exception of very few stars who actually act like adults. It's just the nature of being idolized and given the keys to the city and such.
