Lol are you a Bulls or Wizards fan? He's 5'7 and just lost his little sister. Also was in surgery for 6 hours for his tooth. Then proceeds to have the game of his life. We can talk about how he's been overlooked but that narrative is too old.
Miss me on the carrying too, half the league does it. Fred Hoiberg just couldn't figure out a way to stop him without Rondo.
He trains and learns with the best athletes in the world, including Floyd Mayweather and studies film with Kobe. He's a freaking stud for being 5'7.
Just imagine Sacremento right now...they had Demarcus and IT but decided they liked Darren Collison better.
No, you weirdo. I'm a Pistons fan. On the Pistons board. Who are you?
Carrying isn't jaywalking. "Everybody does it" is invalid.
It's an irrational dislike. I get that he's a great offensive player and he's succeeding despite himself.
and he's 5'9" without shoes. Maybe I'd be moved if he lost his sister, his tooth, AND two inches.
That's precisely the point I was trying to make, an irrational dislike. You can still root for other teams in the playoffs when the Pistons don't make it. I thought we'd have some common ground as my handle is literally a former wolverine alumni, but considering you run with the Wolverines, I'm not surprised by any of your comments.
Let's meet in the middle and call it 5'8.
"I’m a little guy — I’m only five-foot-eight — so unless you’re a huge basketball fan, you’re probably not going to recognize me around town. I’m not like Jared Sullinger ducking into the doorway of a restaurant. I blend in."
"But Thomas is telling it like it is. And he’s seemingly been consistent: He gave the 5-foot-8-inch figure in a 2012 TV interview, too."

Aren't you presumptuous. Jamal Crawford is great. You trying to advocate for a player who annoys me, not so much. You read "I can't bring myself to like him" and you think "oh! Floyd Mayweather will do the trick!" Maybe you can convince me to have a taste for IPAs while you're at it.
We're sports fans. Being a Pistons fan to begin with is arbitrary enough by itself. We can like and dislike different things.
I do root for other teams. I want a good series from GSW and Utah, hope Harden loses to SAS as he stops manipulating the officials, want Washington to beat Boston, and wish there was a way for Toronto and Cleveland to somehow both lose in 7 games.
I'm not going to root for Boston even if Jesus of Nazareth suits up for them. Maybe I'd like IT more if he wasn't buoyed by obnoxious East coast fans.
