I don't think people should cry when you say that, but you're still incredibly wrong.

While I think many of you know I'm not a DeRozan fan, he's still a guy who considering the body of work he's had the last few years, he's an All-star caliber player, a bottom tier all-star sure, but when you're the #1 scoring option on a top 3 team in the Conference, you should be an all-star.

Would have made more sense if BR said DeRozan shouldn't be earning All-NBA team selections, which would be true.

We don't receive wisdom; we must discover it for ourselves after a journey that no one can take for us or spare us.
May our performance in the playoffs judge the merits of DD rather than a click bait sportswriter wannabe...

I think these comments from this geek at the Bleacher is a good thing. We know what happened the last time Demar felt disrespected by people underrating his game. He went on to have the best season of his career. #ProveEm

Those tweets aren't fake

On Thursday evening games in November against the Central division when it's snowing after two days rest, Demar has a TS% of .700 in the fourth quarter with six minutes or less left in a game decided by 5 or less points.

Yeah ok let's ignore the clutch game in the most famous arena in the world and also the Celtics game on ESPN at home without Lowry and the game 7 3rd quarter takeover against Indy and the Game 3 and 4 in the ECF. #FakeAllStar #MiddletonBetter #

So 5 games?

Have they seen Paul George's offensive stats? Talk about a volume chucker who creates for his teammates LESS than DD does which is the central point of their argument.

this argument starts and ends with James Edward Harden Jr

when i started dating what is now my wife, we had one night where i met her at Humber College, brought jerk chicken and we watched the Michael James-lead raptors get thrashed.
years later and she still won't eat jerk chicken.
add that to the list of baffling occurrences that didn't sway her from marrying me.

I can't speak for him but I've often found that the people with the weakest understanding of the nuances of the sport and on the math utilized in many of the most popular all-in-one box score metrics tend to have the hottest takes and one of the most popular ones I've seen over the years is the idea that all positions and roles are the same and that these all-in-one box score metrics which then rank are in fact rankings of who's best in the league (meaning some people think Bebe is one of the best players in the whole league right now) and transferable from any one team to another.

So 5 out of the 8 most overhyped players in the past 50 years have all played in the NBA in the past 5 years. Me thinks someone is quite new to the sport of basketball.

Off the top of my head for guys who should be considered for this list:

Mitch Richmond (and he's one of my favorite players)
Dan Majerle
Mark Aguirre
Joe Johnson
Kiki Vandewehe
Reggie Theus (the original Mike James)

This won't happen unless fans make defensive lowlight videos like they did for Harden.

The raptors ruined jerk chicken for her? That's pretty shameful. If you live in the city buy her some from Mitzie's jerk around Bloor and Islington. The jerk there is so good I think she can be saved.
