I'm sorry sir, I'll be sure to get your written approval before comparing players on our team to other players in NBA history who have similar playing styles, similar physical traits, and thus far similar stats on the limited information available.

Acknowledged multiple times in the OP.

Yes, let's be afraid to discuss Knicks players on this Knicks forum that exists for Knicks fans to discuss the Knicks. Let's be afraid because of what other fans of other teams might say. Sounds legit to me.

It is? I was under the impression that Shumpert's play and career trajectory would not be affected by what I posted on RealGM.

And when did I say it was? Oh, that's right, I didn't. I simply said that thus far, Shumpert's stats (you know, hard facts) compare favorably to those of Wade in a rookie season where he was a year older, albeit in very limited sample size.
Everybody knows that the probability of him being as good as or better than Wade is not very high. But, if he was going to develop into a Wade-level talent, it's entirely reasonable that his first five games would look exactly as they have looked.
Good grief, I make a comparison of Shumpert and rookie Wade and everyone reads it as "Shumpert vs MVP CANDIDATE ALL NBA SUPERSTAR CHAMPION DWYAAAAAAAANE WAAAAADE". Wade was just another promising rookie when he was a rookie.
