Meyers Leonard appreciation

[blue9]

He's going to knock someone out with those flying un-self-conscious elbows one day. I really don't understand the purpose of flailing around every rebound, even when no one is contesting it.

Cool - I could rattle of a long list of names that I hope catch one of his elbows!

Meyers deserves credit for a lot of things...patience being one of them..the dude is unselfish, healthy and has really low miles on him for the years he's been here....he's just grown up. Stotts will leave him in a game when he played like last night...when he doesn't...he pulls him quick.

He flexes after made shots or blocks. He wears "cool" sunglasses inside. He's in love with his body. There are literally dozens of examples, at least 4 of which
were on display in game 2.

Personally, I do not care one bit - as long as it is not hurting anyone - why does it matter. He has his way of celebrating or looking or whatever - good for him. Live and let live, I guess.

yeah...Meyers will never be "cool"....it's just not who he is.

Perhaps you're new to professional sports? Nearly every player celebrates after doing anything even remotely positive. How is this different from the norm?

Have you seen the outfits that players wear to games? I don't even know what "cool" sunglasses are, but holy hell if that's not complaining about the snowflake on the tippy top of the iceberg, I don't know what is. [/QUOTE]

He's in love with his body.

He should be. Professional athletes dedicate nearly every waking moment to their body and their craft, dude looks like an adonis. If I had his body (pro athlete or no) I'd be in love with it too. Again, I see no problem here...

To each their own, I'm not trying to bag on you, I just don't see any of these as any different than what anyone else in the NBA does on a nightly basis, so it feels like unnecessarily picking on Meyers. He's respectful, not a dirty player, has always kept his nose clean, and gone through a ton to get to where he is, in my opinion, let the kid celebrate big moments in a big playoff game.

OK, whatever.

I hope Meyers takes Zach and Skal to workout offseason with his trainer...the guy got results!
