    It's a good piece, but not much new. I wonder if Lillard will now get his defensive training? quid pro quo.

    Lillard should have interviewed Payton...

    DL: So why did you blow me off last summer?
    GP: This interview is over.

    Will Lillard be better than Payton? That's the question.

    LOL! Only you, BGD.
    Dame has a LOOOOONG way to go before anyone even starts to consider that a question worth asking. The likely answer is: no.

    That's at least the most articulate english I've ever heard from GP..he really capped the street talk for this one. Dame and GP are phot negatives of each other, jlprk is right on with that one. Payton's son will play for the Beavers next season, GP said his son's game is also very different from his. Dame can't become like the Glove because for one, there's no handchecking in this era. Guys can't play defense like they used to. It's like comparing Mark Price to Pete Marovich, one had a 3pt line and one didn't
