That's the same thing that any proponent of Ben Gordon's could've said about him playing in Charlotte last year. I could post highlight reels of Gordon doing work in the playoffs that would shatter that Gary Neal performance. Gordon averaged 20.2 points in 29 playoff games as a Chicago Bulls player, so showing me Neal score 24 points in one game doesn't trump him
Gordon hasn't been relevant in 4+ years. Neal's Finals game was last season
Neal hasn't done nothing statistically better than Gordon over the past "4+ years" but play for the right team (Spurs), and have a more acceptable contract. Also, you must've skipped over the part where I posted a link comparing Gordon's last season numbers when the Bobcats actually gave him 'somewhat' consistent minutes to Neal's statistics this season playing for similarly bad teams, so I'll repost it...

Before you get your defensive mechanism all prepared to react & attack back at me via post, I'm not trying to say that Neal will be a bad player for the Bobcats, because I actually like his game and think Charlotte will benefit from playing him alongside Kemba as much as possible as long as the matchup allows it, almost to the same tone where I've stood my ground that I felt like Charlotte should've gave Gordon more consistent minutes off the bench until a few months ago where I came to the conclusion that he's just disinterested in even playing for the Bobcats. Neal is a carbon copy of Gordon, but the very difference may be their motivation and acceptability to take on such a sporadic role off the bench '
G$N will give us production like he had with the Spurs cause Coach Cliff is like POP.
