    Regardless, the fact that they haven't told Mike Jamessss anything is the sign of a bad organization.. no wonder Washington sucks year in and year out.

    Thats not a valid explanation broham. No one on that wack Wizards team plays defense. Ask Flip, he'll tell you. Matter of fact, he'll prob. tell you how he blew past one of his players during practice.
    Leonsis and Ernie Grunfeld need to grab the reins of that team because ish ain't looking up.

    When we brought Mike James and Steve Francis back at the same time, I almost boycotted the season. Even then it was apparent the our best PG out of 5 was the rookie (Brooks).

    Mike James is garbage.

    I kept saying it like a broken record when he was here: Mike James took more shots per minute than Yao Ming (I posted the numbers, way back when). That's not the guy I want playing point guard with Yao Ming, i.e. with the Rockets, or with developing players, and I think a lot of coaches and players might feel the same way.

    He was good at Toronto because he jacked up a lot of shots. The good point guards can score bunches like Mike James once did, but they always lie back first; they would rather see somebody else score. Chris Paul, Brandon Roy, Steve Nash: they all lie back and don't worry about their own scoring until it seems like a necessary moment. They allow other players to be or become stars, like David West, Amare Stoudemire. Mike James, on the other hand, is simply "Let's get me some points!"
