From espn Mess. Board Ray was on ESPN radio this morning. They did a bit where they ask him 10 questions in rapid fire. (They goofed and used a "pre-edited" version that had more like 15 questions). I missed the first few, but here were some of them: [Q] How many games will Seattle win this season? [Ray] 48. I checked the standings -- they need to finish the season 21-3... [Q] What team is the most over-rated? [Ray] Lakers. [Q] What team is the most under-rated? [Ray] Golden State. [Q] Defender that gives you the most trouble? [Ray] Bowen. [Q] Offensive player that gives you the most trouble? [Ray] Allen Iverson. [Q] What will Yao's PPG be in three years? [Ray] 24. [Q] What player in the league would you most like to see leave? [Ray] I respect all players who make it to the NBA.
Are you talking about Ray Allen? He obviously doesn't like Lakers and Kobe. This is his comment the other day: ''So much is said about what Kobe Bryant is and what Kobe Bryant does. I don't know if a lot of people know it, but I was drafted No. 5 and he was drafted like No. 8 (actually 13th in 1996). Not that means anything. But I think I've always ranked right there along with what Kobe has done.'' A bit silly IMO.
I hate it when people foolishly compare themselves to Kobe. Only T-Mac can say he's anywhere near Kobe.
Cause they got Desmond Mason as well. And hes gonna be an all star some day. On another note, Payton maybe old but hes still one of the best point guard in the history of the NBA.
Ray Allen is not as good as Stevie Francis. Although he seems to be rededicating himself to the game. I think Yao will be in contention for the scoring title in three years. 28-32 ppg. Good shot from the field and the line=hard to stop.
