so saying Hedo should have the ball in the waning seconds means Hedo > Dwight???

yeah that makes sense

This means Hedo > Dwight:

Dwight is nothing more but a good role player. The Magic without Hedo are a lottery team. and you know it

All you have done is make an ass hat out of yourself while trying and failing to prove a point you know people would laugh at. Now you have on your face and are trying to justify it.

In for penny...in for pound.

You poke it in his behind and pull it back out.. I know your little nursery rhimes. sick. Keep that to yourself.

Dragic outplayed Deron Williams when he was on the court during the last two Jazz Suns games last year. It was great to see him bust two straight threes in Deron's face.

so, because of one game you conclude that Dragic is the Laker's hope???

did you see all the other games Dragic played??

[hater]

This means Hedo > Dwight:

ask for a sarcasm radar next time you write to santa.

DoK has personally apologized to me for that irresponsible horrid comment.

Did I ever say he was the Lakers hope?

Why did you at first deny that you said Turk >Dwight, and now you're saying that when you said it, you were being sarcastic? Pick a lane and stick with it.

Phil Jackson tried to trade for Goran last year. If that ever happened, then I'd somehow have to be a Suns/Lakers fan. LA would be smart to get Dragic, a Dragic/Brown combo at PG would be a perfect triangle fit.

does everything gotta be explained to you like 10x?

- I was pissed Hedo did not have the ball the last seconds
- I was sarcastic saying Dwight is nothing but a role player
- Hedo is not > Dwight

happy?

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

did you see all the other games Dragic played??

Yes, I did. Towards the end of the season, he was playing extremely well.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

So being a perfect fit for the triangle as a PG means I'm calling him the team's "hope"? I wasn't aware the PG was such a vital position in the triangle.

Yes, I just don't get why you originally denied saying it at all before explaining why you did say it.

Horse . My points about Stockton are incendiary yes, but, I devoutly believe them. They're spoken out of years of thought & consideration. I didn't stoop to calling him a " got" or "gay" or some such other nonsense that the Spurs Fandom invented and use constantly. I stuck to the facts as I see them. And I ain't backin' down. When I'm wrong on this Forum I admit it and have numerous times. I ain't wrong here. Stockton was selfish & afraid and it cost him, his team an NBA Championship. He had a golden opportunity to do something special and he pissed it away to rewrite record books. It ain't death, but, its a tragedy nonetheless.

Did you watch the 98 Finals? Stockton could ahave won it for the Jazz if not for the huge choke job that Malone did. The man was a stud and I'm gonna bet your wife's fat ass that he's gonna torch Fisher even if he's 60 years old

[ezau]

He got what he deserved...his karma ruled his dogma.

Funny thing, you sound more and more mentally demented by blurting out those little nursery rhymes. Player appreciation. That's what we're doing right here. Just because Stockton didn't want a single championship doesn't mean he didn't exist.

[poop]

John Stockton is maybe the most underrated player EVER.
he was the best Pure point guard EVER.
he was a small unassuming white guy picked well into the 2nd round from an unknown college and he went on to become the NBA's All-time leader in Assists AND Steals. only player to be all-time leader in TWO major categories.
this quiet, 'boring' small white family man was unrecognizable among the general public as an NBA star his whole career.
despite his appearance he was also one of the most Durable players ever, playing some 19 seasons and only missing a handful of games throughout...he made multiple all-star selections, co-allstar game MVP, olympic gold medallist and made the NBA Finals in '97 and '98.
this man led the league in assists for like 5 straight seasons, while alsom putting up 15+ppg on 50%+ shooting, 88%+ freethrows, and high-% 3-point shooting. he was as consistent and dependable, Clutch shooter and player as anyone. he spent his entire career in Utah, a small market, as a small, low-key unathletic white guy, and thus never got even CLOSE to the recognition he deserved. but as a omeone who saw his career unfold, i can say theres not a single point guard ever id take over him if i were putting together a team.

I know, I know...[could have] withstanding...he didn't win it. And that my friend is the be all & also the end all. If Bryant needed to win it on two separate occasions to put the wolves at bay then I can assure you every other m'fer is going to have to toe the line at least on one occasion. And Stockton did not toe that line. Ipso facto (at least on this Forum) he'll be held to accounts.

This I vow, my wife's fat ass withstanding.

tee, hee.

Sure. But, that ain't how its set up on most Forums, this one in particular. You all frogged marched Bryant for umpteenth years for not winning it without Daddy. Uh, chickens have come home to roost. What's good for the goose (Kobe) will be standard operating procedure for the gander (Stockton)...and any other Player we deem to appreciate in the future. If they ain't ringed, woe be to them. Uh, think [living ].

tee, hee.

Ok, I guess I have to lay down the gauntlet. You all claim Stockton was the best/perfect PG in the history of the league. You've yet to explain why, but you make these ridiculous assertions. I will go as far as saying you clowns are only saying this because he is white, as poop repeatedly said during his mindless post. So, if John Po-Boy Stockton is the greatest PG in the history of the game, so you all say; then I'll leave this forum for a month if you all can find me three posts that has Stockton in the starting five of the numerous all-time teams threads. There are plenty of them, and yet you wont find Po-Boy on any of them. These posts cant be from stupid Jazz homers either. I dare you all to pull up those threads.

Then you would have to take magic out of the equation. The point is if magic came into the league today I would bet your depends diaper supply that he would no way in be playing the point position. I guarantee you that. Since people perceive him as a point guard he will always be put 1st there on those stupid all time lists.

[jazzypimp]

I'll let charles Barkley do the talking

"John Stockton is the perfect point guard," Charles Barkley told NBA.com. "There has never been a pure point guard who made better basketball decisions with the ball — ever."

Magic would not have been playing the point nowadays.. would he be handling the ball most occasions?? yes.. but so does kobe, lebron, dwade etc. guys 6-8/6-9 just dont play point anymore..hence they are not pure point guards.
