With a bad ankle too.
Dude just pulled one out for Minny.
Who do you think is better?
Al Jeff or your boy Bynum
Now, no hypos or predictions.
He has some of the sickest post moved I've seen. How old is he?
Obviously Al. What kind of stupid question is that?
Turned 24 earlier this month.
Allanon made a case for Bynum over Al saying Al didn't play any defense.
What are you waiting for, Dallas? JHo, Kidd, Green and Bass for Jefferson + filler... Legit post guy next to Dirk, JET plays the 2 and Barea runs the show...
Well he's a Laker fan. All fans tend to exaggerate about a guy on their team.
Big Al doesn't play much D. Good player though...
the truth is AI>Bynum
but to laker fans its bynum>AI
Jefferson doesn't play a lick of defense. He's been on a team with one of the worst records over the past 3 seasons. I'd take Bynum over him any day of the week considering he impacts the game on both ends.
YOu don't think Bynum would be stat stuffing on the Minny right now? Please. Actually Love/Jefferson is a pretty redundant front line and the worst defensively in all of basketball. Minny would be a much better defensive team with Bynum anchoring the middle.
No, I don't. Bynum has nothing on Jefferson's ability to score on the block.
I think Jefferson can be taught to play good D, considering he's young enough. Just like Bynum was taught in the past year or two. Then again, you need to do it now. Once he's used to slacking it's too late.
Can't be. McHale is a sellout, who offered Garnett to his beloved Celtics for nothing. I mean, 3 of his current starters, including the best back-to-the-basket young player in the association, draft picks and the biggest expiring contract in the league? That's inadmissible, he should have traded Garnett for Odon and Brown, or whatever the Lakers offer was, or simply let him play one more year there, miss the play-offs and a good draft pick and let him walk away for nothing. Right?
Anyway, Big Al I know for a long time, he's the most enjoyable player to watch in the low post currently in the NBA. Coach Clifford Ray did an awesome job with the kid.
Now, are people noticing Love's rebounding? I think fans aren't really understanding how good the guy is rebounding the ball (among other things). Best rookie rebounder since Barkley (in fact, he's better numbers than Barkley). Awesome reading and awareness, the kid is a freak.
Bynum would be on Minny because he wouldn't have Kareems tutelage. There would also be a lot more focus on him which means he would average about 4 points and 8 rebounds. No Kobe, Gasol,Odom, etc....
Yeah I'm sure Minny would do that trade just because they did it in NBA 2k9.
It would be interesting to see what Minny's record would be if they started Telfair and Foye in the back court all year. Since they've changed the lineup like that Foye has played like an all star and they've been hard to beat.
Tell that to Boston...
Yeah, Boston fleeced Sota, all they sent back was 2 role-players who're starting, draft picks, including a lottery one, a huge expiring and that kid Al Jeffers... wait.. what?
That response shows how re ed that trade is and the lack of thought put into it. When Minnesota traded KG, they got younger and brightened their future. Crappy teams don't trade their best young player for washed up players.
Just because Minnesota traded immediate talent for future talent and youth, why exactly would they trade future talent and youth for immediate talent?
Defense guys. It's easy to overlook defense when a guy scores 39 points. Al's a great scorer, no doubt but his defense really sucks.
Joakim Noah, one of the most offensively challenged Centers in the NBA, averages 4 points on normal nights. But against Al last night, he scored 14 points on 70% shooting.
When Al actually goes up against a good scoring Center, they score like 25 points. Just check out his opponent PER, it's sky high whereas Bynum's opponent PER is probably the lowest of all Centers.
I'd take Bynum's 14 points and 2-3 blocks on Tim Duncan as a better achievement.

DeAndre Jordan averages 3.4 points a night but against By-dumb he scored 23 on 92% shooting.
