Here is your update.
He doesn't know what a PG is. His mind hurts my head sometimes. I thought he was joking at first but the more I read the more I just shook my head. Oh course true PG can score. The best PGs can score. It's just a matter of what is there first priority. He doesn't know if Nash and Chris Paul are pure PGs?
I heard Chris Paul talking the other day. He said, the job of a PG is to make sure everyone touches to ball to start the game so you can figure out who is hot. Then fill in whatever is missing. What is so hard to understand about that?
He really doesn't know the difference between a 2 guard, a PG and a tweaner?
I also found it sad that his teammates were surprised he was such a good passer.
Just when I think he is getting it, he opens his mouth and stuff like this comes out. GA wants to do whatever GA wants to do when he wants to do it. All I know is he better stay here were we don't have a PG, we just have guards and his HC won't clamp down on him. That said, I think he would be a better player on a team where someone would.
#2 He is approaching his return like this like training camp, so it will be at least another 2 weeks.
#3 he doesn't think players should be compared. Honestly, that's just immature. Of course players are going to be compared. Players don't live in a vacuum. There is a history to this league. Being compared can be a burden but most players don't push away the compliment because it raises their stock. They just don't like it when they don't live up.
There were many players before MJ showed up but he managed to set his own identity because he did things that were unique and he won the biggest games.
Kobe's game is like MJs. Lebron's is not. Lebron is something different. We will have to wait and see if it is something in a new category or not. Right now I have him as Dominique-ish but thicker. nique was smoother though but LeBron is still young and has added other things like passing.
6-7 200 vs 6-8 250

Dame Nique was a bad ass.
#4 He didn't know to condition is hair so it fell out. So now it is shorter. He wanted to be like Kobe but he can't be because Kobe is a SG/SF in the mold of MJ and GA is a SG/PG. A psychologist would have a field day with Gil. He just wears it all on his sleeve to see. Gil has a huge inferiority complex. He spells it out. He doesn't want to conform at all. He wants to do it how he wants to do it. That's why he doesn't like the comparisons.
I guess we will see what he actually does when he returns or if this is just another way to get press clippings as he admits or is covering up for the being scared comment.
What a head case.
at you confirming your prediction from an ESPN peace...
