    Actually Rick has two just like Brent.

    And yes, Rick did say that about David Robinson which still makes him a prick to me.

    More screens in the 1st Q of a Jazz game then any other game full game in the NBA.

    Lebron is huge. I think he's too perimeter oriented. He needs to take smaller defender down low and punish them. His shooting is still suspect, but it's hard for a 6'9 275 dude to shoot jump shots off the dribble. Physics is against you. He should have more post moves like Magic Johnson, but he continues to be perimeter oriented.

    The scariest thing is that defense used to be a flaw of none other than Michael Jordan. We saw how that worked out.

    I think LeBron is one of those players that is so completely on another level of ability that he will soon be able to upgrade his game at will. Jordan saw a part of his game that he needed to work on, and fixed it. I think we COULD see the same from LBJ.

    Agreed. His future is in the low post, not on the perimeter.

    Didn't MJ win the DPOY in his 3rd or 4th season?

    Ok he said major flaws.

    Not using screens effectively is one. What are the other ones Barry?

    Uh. My bad if that wasn't what you were implying.

    I get it if you're pissed at Rick for saying what he said. He has a tempestuous and even arrogant streak at times (he even gets on his kids' nerves). I just think that he's earned the right to criticize a great player if he wants to, as he was one himself.

    I'm not saying he didn't earn it, in fact I believe he did. I was pointing out that Rick, like Brent, has two.

    Who thinks Lebron used some PEDs back in his high school days? I hope he didn't but I don't believe in physical phenoms anymore.

    True. They're so far ahead of everybody else when it comes to screening technology it's not even funny. And Boozer is amazing cutting off screens, one of the bests in the history of the game. Anyway, that's the reason why the Jazz are the funniest team to watch in the NBA and why I'm watching more Euroball every season.

    I went to the game last night and LeBron looked pretty good offensively to me. 34 pts, 7 rebs, and 14 assists. He is a monster. Definitely the best player I've ever seen outside of MJ. You have some hope of containing Kobe, but LeBron just does whatever he wants to do.

    Rick Barry is such a loser…...If he played today he would not even make an NBA team…Perhaps he would not even be a factor in the WNBA…
