Adam Morrison: "I've won two championships."

This is from an interview with the Washington Post....
When asked to assess his career, (Adam) Morrison said he would give himself "a C-minus."
"It was a high pick, so there is going to be more pressure. That's the way this sports, entertainment thing works, so this is part of the deal," Morrison said. "I was hoping to have a job in Charlotte, be one of the starters. But it didn't happen in that situation. Going to L.A., we all know that story.
"I've won two championships. I've been lucky enough to do that," he said. "Other than that, I spent a year off not playing, and then I guess since I haven't played, it's been bad. That's how everybody else views it."
I don't know what's funnier, Morrison generously giving his career a "C-" or saying that he's won two championships. No, you were ON a team that one two championships, you did nothing to win them. Every Laker fan sitting in the Staples Arena did about as much as you did to win those 2 rings Mr. Morrison.

His performance is somewhere in the D range, but any career that includes two championships can't be all bad. Nothing wrong with his statement imho.

I don't know what you expect the guy to say. He said he was lucky enough to win two championships and admitted the fact there should be more pressure on him being a high pick.

He didn't say anything wrong, he does have two championships.

Appropriate response given the question. He's not going to just flat out admit he's a bust.

Seems like the TC has an agenda against Adam Morrison for no reason. Whether you like it or not, it's true that he has two championship rings and you are straight up ignorant to say that he contributed nothing to the team. If it were up to me this topic would be locked.

See nothing wrong with what he said. He knows he had no influence on the two chips.

The world is so brutal these days. Everything what he says seems to be so interesting huh? I can see him proving the haters wrong. I am officially on that Adam Morrison bandwagon.

People should stop hating on the guy. It's not like he planned to suck. He doesn't hype himself up or anything, he just wants to play.

Guys, this is getting out of hand.
There are good and bad players on every team. Doesn't mean the bad ones don't do anything.

Agreed.

Ammo needs to be stronger, mentally. Dude walked through college, got to the NBA and wasn't trained mentally. He took his talents for granted.

That was hilarious.
Oh and I also hope we see an Adam Morrison redemption tour this year.

D range?
Two rings, plus he's famous (helps with the ladies) and has been given ("earned"?) $17M. That's an A+ right there.
Seriously though, might be the worst pick every. Clear clear clear 'F' for his career. Maybe you can argue for an incomplete since he's never actually resembled an NBA-caliber player.
