What about a Mike Alston or a Rafer James?

    Both Rafer and MJ are giving me heart attacks every game for the most part. My question is, if you took both their best characteristics of their game and personality/intelligence and morphed them in to one player; would that be a championship caliber point gaurd?

    What if we morphed Yao Ming's frame with Kevin Garnett's athleticism and then they had sex with Michael Jordan.

    Would anyone care?

    You can say that about any two players past/present.

    My question is why did you start a new thread when you could have easily posted this in any other Rafer/Mike thread?

    You'd get a player like Mike Bibby, or a Kirk Hinrich without his defensive superiority.

    Yes combining them would give you a "championship caliber point guard"

    Man I really want a profound in-depth explanation of what people think and define this term.

    So by splitting the minute between the two, you basically get a poor man's "championship caliber point guard".

    How about a Shaquille Ming,

    Tracy Jordan exists already, watch 30 Rock, he's a horrible basketball player. As for your signature, for shame TeamUSA for shame. SF3 is a Rocket thru and thru, and he actually likes the city and the city him. Stromile Swift was a turd. They aren't even int he same league.

    My guess is one of them, my money is on Rafer James, would suck monkey balls through a coffee stirrer, and the other one just might be able to start at PG in the NBA.

    Indeed, left and right brain are really causing misunderstandings.

    Tracy Jordan, I meant a player with both Tracy and Jordan skillsets. You focused on the name itself. What is this, a discussion forum about people names? Shame!

    As for comparison between SF and Swift, you think it was about their attitude, tenure, or whetehr the city loves him or not. Wrong again. Instead, your love for SF blinded you to see my point within the context of the current issue about his potential contribution to the team. Steve and Stro are highly athletic but they're poor in BBIQ. Shame!

    a Bibbi would mean the rockets have three championships in a row.

    So then shouldn't your signature have that little explanation as a caption?

    Are you trying to be controversial?

    Comparison Steve Stromile
    Athleticism X X
    All Star X
    Point Guard X
    Forward Center X
    Dissapointment in NBA X
    No playing time X
    Bad attitude???

    Steve is just wanting to play. He loves this city. Stromile is a guy who was given a chance and never lived up to what he was suppossed to be. Neither one has a "bad attitude". One thing Stro does have is a vagina, and Steve just wants to contribute.

    Excess spaces are taken out I guess, but you get the idea of the above post.
