You stay classy, Jameer Nelson

"I think I'm a better player, and I mean more to my team," Nelson said when comparing himself to Devin Harris. "My numbers are better. Yeah, he's bigger, but he's not a legit 6-3. I'm a legit 6-1."

Hey, I feel for what this guy had to go through in his personal life, and I understand he wants to get paid, but no need to knock Devin down in order to build yourself up.

How the are both point guards the same?

Devin's a winner (not of championship rings, but still a winner) and Nelson is obviously throughout his career is not. So *gulp* Devin > Nelson. I hate the abscessive flopping though.

06-07 season:

Jameer Nelson - 13 pts, 4 assists, 3 rebounds and 1 steal per game on 43% shooting, 33% from behind the arc, in 30 mpg.

Devin Harris - 11 points, 4 assists, 3 rebounds and 1 steal per game on 49% shooting, 28% from behind the arc, in 26 mpg.

I haven't seen a lot of Nelson since his college days, what kind of defender is he?

[bdictjames]

I don't know. Probably average defense, since he plays with that tough body.

For some reason in that last post I was deferring to Tinsley. But still both are horrible winners.

Read the article, it was tongue in cheek..

Didn't Harris just get an extension? I'm sure he's just taking what Harris recently got and is trying to get similar based on production level.

He shouldn't have named anyone. He could have infered without naming, but I don't think it was to be a jackass.

[stretch]

Agreed. He shouldn't have used him as an example, but I don't think he meant any harm by it.

Jameer Nelson is a better PG than Harris, Starbury is better than Kidd, and Ericka is the 2nd best center in the NBA.

I bet they all smoke the same dank.
