He'll go to DC or Los Angeles.
By the way
Not true.
I scored 20 a game in intramurals. Since I could score there, I should be able to get at least double figures in the league, right?
Obviously not. Level matters. Scoring 25 a game in NAIA proves nothing. The competition was inferior and Rodman was far and away the best athlete on the court. Those point totals prove nothing about his ability to score against NBA athletes.
It kind of is.
The talent gap between an intramural league at a big school and NAIA is actually a lot less than the talent gap between the NAIA and the NBA.
Okay, if you say so. I'm sure that players in your intramural league had the same talent as Rodman.![]()
Neither did the players Rodman went up against. That is my whole point.
I never said the intramural league was better, just that it was closer to NAIA talent than NAIA was to the NBA. Their were many former college players and even a former NBA player who played while I was there (Rick Brunson).
I played on one team that had a former UVA standout and his brother, who was 2 time defensive player of the year in the CAA along with three other guys who played high level D3 ball. So yeah, there was some talent there, and no, I did not score so much that season.
I never said they weren't.
Go read my post again.
Dude. I did not say it was comparable. Never once.
I said there is a huge gap between NBA and NAIA talent. Suggesting that Rodman can score in the NBA because he did in an NAIA league is just silly.
What I also said was that the gap between a top intramural team and NAIA is less than the gap between NAIA and NBA. I stand by that.
Never once did I say intramural talent is comparable.
If Rodman was scoring 25 a game against D1 opponents, then your point might be somewhat valid.
Just want to say that I think it's hilarious how nobody is giving shit to Durant for teaming up with other all stars to win. But when LeBron did it, it was wrong. In before somebody says he was a douche about it, how the decision was publicity stunt, how LeBron is a choke artist, etc. Don't give me any of that BS. Tell me why it's okay for Durant to do this, but not LeBron.

Exactly when was it that Durant left to go team up with all-stars?
Obviously I mean if this report has actually legs, and Durant ends up with the Warriors. It's very clear that he would be wanting to team up with a championship team to help him bulster his legacy.

You dragged your intramurals into it to try and act like it was comparable. You said that you scored 20 per game in intramurals but it didn't mean you could score in the NBA.
Just because Rodman didn't score in the NBA, doesn't mean he couldn't have. He chose to be a rebounding/defensive specialist because he was on teams that had plenty of scorers. We don't know if he could have scored more because he chose not to and didn't work on that part of the game.
For you to try to claim that he couldn't have scored more because of the level of college ball he played is laughable. Based on that argument, he shouldn't have been in the NBA at all. After all, the level of talent he faced sure as hell wasn't preparing him to be an elite rebounder or defender any more than a scorer.
I told you, bichezTimmy and Manu retire. Durant comes back to Central Texas. Done.
Everyone will chase him. That means nothing.
Also, it isn't like his Texas ties run deep. He spent 1 year there for college.
