Big statement..... I'll have to think about that one......

I couldn't think of one better; Clyde wasn't really a one-on-one maestro, and B-Roy was great, but didn't do the crazy Harlem Globetrotters shit like turn Dirk Nowitzki 360° with his fake-outs.

You mean a face up 1on1 type, not a low post guy right? I assumed that's what you meant. CJ is unstoppable for sure. Steve Smith was nasty with that little baseline hitch step. You actually see CJ do that same little studded step.

Exactly; CJ's bag of tricks is about as deep as Marry Poppins's bag.

B-Roy was so strong he did not need to do that - but I remember him going behind his back in Miami and having D-Wade going for the bleachers as he sailed to an empty layup. I also remember him changing hands in the air when he saw C-Bosh coming at him against Toronto - so... B-Roy was a handful as well.

That Miami game was a treasure.
 
B-Roy and CJ are equals in one on one they do it differently.

Roy worked out of the Triple threat WAY more. Jab steps and rip throughs were his go to moves and he had step backs for all of them.

CJ is much more flashy and has way more ballhandling fakes than Roy could ever have.

Not better just different.

Fair enough; I'll accept that. :ghoti:
 
I bet Kersey was an amazing 1 on 1 player.

RIP

Meh, it's the East and as long as CLE has LeBron and he's healthy, they will be right back in the finals (losing to GSW).

I just feel like Kyrie worked well off Bron, don't see IT doing it. Nothing to back it up, just how I saw the game flowing when I watched Celtics games last year.

On the other hand, the legend of LeBron is playing for three quarters then mailing it in. Remember the old joke about LeBron and 50 Cent forming a new group and calling it $1.25?

Then you've got lil' Zeke who's all about the fourth quarter.

IT will miss half the season, Bron will walk. They got Crowded, and more importantly, a top pick in next year's draft. They're setting themselves up for life after Bron.

I agree with this and why I believe Boston benefited most from the trade. I guess we have to wait to see who the lottery pick turns out to be, but until then Boston by far got the best player in the deal. And since they also needed to clear minutes for Hayward and Tatum at SF, losing Crowder was not a big deal.

When IT is finally ready to play, it will be interesting to see how LBJ reacts to IT's D and ball dominating tendencies in crunch time. Kyrie adjusted for James....can IT? My guess is there will be a lot of growing pains.
