Another example of how statistics lie. If you just look at how many times Mo gets to the free throw line, it seems like he's really bad at drawing fouls. Fortunately, this NBA-savvy reporter from Korea saw through the bull ****.

He wasn't a big fan of Kryskowiak and doesn't seem willing to hide that fact.

Was anyone a fan of LK besides Royal Ivey and Michael Ruffin?

How does this show that he's ready to rebound? It's just a synopsis of mo's NBA career, with one statement about krystkowiak. He's still the same old mo.

I am confused as well.

How does that say he is ready to rebound...All he said is he is here only because we offered the most money!

He didnt mentioned nothing about wins and coming back to help this team win or the players to get better under his leadership, nor did he use the reporters question to communicate that.

All he mentions was the money he got to come back here and then blame the losing seasons on the coach (who he failed to mention that he too is the leader on the floor) and not the frickin point guard who is supposed to lead the team and share the blame!

He took absolutely no respondsiblity at all for the teams poor play and the fact he could not lead by playing hurt and staying healthy and in shape.

If you read into the article it tells you all you need to know about him and the fact that he is nothing more then a guy who is better suited to come off the bench as a 6th man with the second group!

He can not lead a team, run a team, or set up or get others involved first rather then himself. That is not his personality, his makeup or what got him to where he is.

He has been a player who plays off of others to find his own shot! And in fantasy leagues and the NBA in contract years, that is what shallow fans and GM's and their agents look at and quantify as success.

Numbers is what gets you paid and set up. It should be wins. But it is not.
It is NUMBERS over ...wins and substance!

It is that simple. And if he starts for your team YOU WON'T WIN ANY GAMES!

That is the bottom line. No knock on him....he got paid and he got his cheese... Good for him. But he can't even get his team to .500 as the starter.

That is not hatin' that is a fact!

This is where we'll get the fire back from LK towards Mo if the anger hasn't fully disapated in him. He shot back at Redd after Redd made comments directly towards him, will be interesting to see if he does with Mo or if the dust has already settled. That was a pretty boring read.

i will agree with every poster in this thread. it's nice tha t M o was a second round pick and has made it in the NBA and got a nice contract. it's nice of him to dis the past coach after he was fired. he likes the bucks because of the money they gave him.

it would be nice if Mo was at a basketbll camp in milwaukee rather tha n one in korea. that makes me ask how much did the people in korea pay him to go there? I have to believe CV also went to korea for the money.

i have to wonder if Mo and Cv develop a great relationship over the off season, how will that affect Mo's distribution of the ball to other bucks big players such as Yi and bogut and the smal l forward - Simmons or mason? Will Mo start looking to Cv as his firs t option, after himself - of course.

When a guy says he wants to rebound, I would expect him to say what things didn't work in the past and how he expects to fix those areas. he did touch on lack of leadership, but didn't say where he expected that leadership to come from. On most successful teams, that leadership comes from the players and the coach's job is to keep the players' egos in check. leadership very seldom comes from the coach. Is Mo expecting Skiles to provide leadership?

oh yeah, because a week in korea dwarfs the 9 months he just spent with every member of the team
