But....he's bad

Then he would be the worst player to make the HOF.

 

[Rhal]

Lillard keeps putting himself into elite groups every year and yet the media almost thinks of him as an after thought. Just shows how strong the guards are at this moment and how many good players the league has right now.

If Dame was in NY or LA he would be considered a superstar.

If Dame was in NY or LA he would be considered a superstar.

And still struggling to make the playoffs.

 

[julius]

Is it really a bad thing to be called the "worst" of that group? The worst of that group is still better than a whole lot of other players.

Worst is worst.

I don't think it would matter. He's all over tv. The team just needs to be better. Look at Westbrook

 

[Cippy91]

If the team performed better this season, they would of considered him an all star. It's stupid but that's how it goes. I just don't get how they give him all NBA but no all star love.

Thats like saying the 2011 Porsche 911 GT3 is worse than the 2009 Ferrari 458! Why even respond ass clowns like this. This type of reply tweet looks like something a few on here would put out there.

I would have put you in the no way he makes the HOF camp.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

How is he "on pace", exactly, Sly? I mean, of those 5 dudes listed, only two are in the HOF.

Wade and Lebron will be in the HOF.

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Don't care about Debbie Downers, Dame has been great.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Wade and Lebron will be in the HOF.

 

[HomerLovesKoolAid]

Of course he is. He's the greatest Blazer ever, potentially, maybe, some day in the future, or possibly now.

You know how someone is great. It's not their presence you notice, but their absence. I was am an idiot and started listening to Derek Jeter's detractors after about ten years in the league. Baseball stats geeks are the biggest pricks on the planet and they will tear a player apart to analyze his faults. There was line of thinking that Jeter couldn't play SS anymore and everybody jumped on. And maybe they were right. But nobody could jam a high and tight fastball up the middle like Jeter. Nobody could get 200 hits when he was almost forty years old like Jeter. Nobody has more hits at SS than Jeter. I only noticed all this stuff AFTER he was gone and Arod was the closest thing to a star on the Yanks. I promised I would never do the same thing with Dame. Appreciate greatness when it's here. Not after it's gone....

and he's a musician!

 

[ripcityboy]

I got nothing against Dame's flow but as far as music and bball go, he ain't no Wayman Tisdale. He was a demon on the boards and he played a mean jazz bass. RIP....

I hate the Yankees with a passion rarely seen...

But I always respected Jeter's game.

Fun fact: Dude is fucking built like a horse in person... saw him about 15 feet away at a yanks/M's game (The day Ichiro got traded to them) - holy shit.

I respect you Streuus. You're a Giants fan. But if you are really "down with Steve Perry" that your hatred of the Yankees shouldn't come close to the Dodgers....

 

[HomerLovesKoolAid]

Right. And he plays defense!

I'm actually not a Giants fan - I'm a Mariners fan. (And to a lesser extent, Cubs fan... because we had WGN and TNT - and the Cubs won my fandom back then).

I just have never liked the Yankees - never will.

But my cousins, and uncle... well they love the Yanks. But they love the sport of Baseball as much as I do - so it's okay.

M's fan. That's cool. Dipoto is going to turn that team into a winner soon. He's made some great trades this offseason. Can't believe the Angels let him go.

He's making a TON of trades - which usually I'm more for quality over quanity - but for the most part, they are really good moves.... Haniger is going to be legit, and for him to be a part of the Segura trade... Awesome.

I bought the MLB package the 1st day it became available. SO nice to have all these spring training games to listen to - but damn, I want the season to just get here!

You poor bastard. I also have this affliction.

Can we trade Dave Simms for a broadcaster to be named later? It's literally the only thing I'm not happy about with the team - his broadcasting style wore on me really quickly.

 

[riverman]

Worst is worst.

Knock on Worst
