It was too mainstream tbh. Mainstream insults like that are not tolerated in the mookie crew.
Better than being in the sucker crew.
Did you like that one?

That's 100% true.
Edward has been chode bloaded I saaaiiiiiddddddd.
I don't know what it is but Kermit still has 6 more months of tossing our salads before he's admitted as a Mookie Crew junior smegma dumper.
Is it just me or is 90210 the perfect TPark replacement after the inevitable massive bacon-induced coronary? All he needs to do is gain about 400 pounds.
Greg Oden has one leg longer than the other. Should have been a warning sign right then and there.
Plus, Durant was a better player in college. All 30 GMs would not have passed on Durant for Oden. It was about 50/50.
The Blazers passed up Larry Bird with the #1 pick. They passed up Jordan with the #2 pick. And they passed up Durant with the #1 pick. Two of those players are top 10 players ever and Durant is well on his way to being an all time great (maybe not top 10 but top 25 perhaps?).
Yeah, they blew that one. Could have told you that back when the pick was made.

The kid is good but saying he will be top 25 all-time is a ridiculous statement.
This is why Longhorn homers are hated. Stupid like this.
Wow, reading your post I wasn't sure if you were Longhorn homer until then.
I said on his way, perhaps. I didn't say he was a top 25 player. However, I'm not judging Durant because I'm a Longhorns lover. He wasn't even really a Longhorn. 1 year doesn't do much.
As an NBA player, Durant is an unbelievable talent. I've heard Jared Dudley (The Suns lone defensive player) say Durant was the hardest guy in the league to guard because he can hit shots from anywhere on the court, get to the rim at will, and can shoot over anyone in the league with his size and length.
And Durant is a pretty good defender too. And by all accounts, he's a gym rat who works on getting better every day. Oh, and he's humble too (see his Twitter post saying he signed an extension while Lebron was holding a 1 hour special to say he was going to South Beach).
Durant has all the tools to be an all time great. You can't doubt that. But usually what separates the really good from the great is drive. And what separates the great from the all timers is the willingness to do something about it. Durant has that willingness.
Lebron has the talent, physical skills and freakish athleticism coupled with his size to be the best ever. But he doesn't appear to have the drive. Durant appears to have the drive to win.
Anyone who watches the NBA can see that, whether they love or hate the University of Texas.
And back on topic, McCoy is not the savior. He was a great college player and has some tools to play in the NFL, but I don't think he's starter material. I will say this, he's going to be better than Tebow though.
I hate OU, but Bradford was the better pro prospect.
lol homer
BTW, who's the youngest player ever to be the scoring champ? I forget his name....
lol longhorn homers
Longhorn nuthugger with more classic revisionist history. At the time probably about 90% of "experts" and NBA insiders said they'd take Oden over Durant. Longhorn nuthuggers and Bill Simmons were the only guys taking Durant.
All of them were wrong, but at the time Oden was the overwhelming choice.
Hook em Horns
Who was player of the year that year? Who was by far the best player in college? And who has one leg shorter than the other, a huge red flag for a big man?

Again, I don't remember Oden being the unanimous choice here. And looking back now, how were us Durant supporters wrong? Who's the better player?
What so funny is that everyone here is glossing over the fact that Durant is far and away a better player, a near franchise player (hasn't quite earned it but it's coming) who can score at will and is pretty good on the other side of the ball too.
Oden has yet to play a whole season and may never play a whole season with the leg injuries that he's had (see Bill Walton another Blazer big man). And yet, I'm a homer for stating the facts. Sure.
Oden was the overwhelming choice for #1 that year. No question.
Durant a top ten player of all-time
He's got about 6 championships to go and 10 years of averaging 30 pts a game before he's even in the conversation. Of course, if he played in NY, they would already be crowning his ass.
90210 questioned it in order to maintain his top spot on the nuthugger leaderboard.
Nathan Explosion made a nice push, but his comment that Bradford is better than Colt (although Colt still better than Tebow) kept him out of the hunt.
You're an idiot.
I actually like Durant and I'm a huge fan of his but longhornfan makes it easy to scoff their former athletes.
I said the Oden supporters were wrong.
Again, Durant is hardly a Longhorn. He went for 1 year, bolted and has no intention of graduating from the University of Texas. McCoy was a 4 year player for the Longhorns. He's a Longhorn through and through. Play for the school at least 3 years and you can be called a Longhorn. 1 and done just doesn't cut it in my book.
Having said all of that, you can't deny the Durant is a talent on the court. Although the trolls are trying to put words in my mouth by saying he's Top 10 (I said perhaps Top 25 when all is said and done, not definitely Top 25), I will say that you can't argue what a great player he is NOW at age 21. He's still got about 12-13 more years to go before his career is done and you could argue is a Top 10 player in Today's NBA.
