Stockton may have been better with the local media, but overall stockton was very hard on fans, especially about autographs, didn't do a whole lot of public appearances, and generally was pretty aloof.
Deron's fire is what made him such a great player, and a lot of great players are dicks, look at mj and Kobe. I don't get what the big deal is.
Exactly!. Once again, the above times infinity.
I want my players to have that fire.
Like you said previously, still so many sour grapes.
To be honest, I just cant believe how quickly fans forget what a great player Deron is and the competitor that he is. He brought a lot of excitement to the team. It was the right move to trade him because we needed to get value in return, but that doesn't erase the great times Deron gave us!
How quickly they forget...
