I hate that they tend to do the concerts at big games. The tickets to see OKC are already in high demand and the arena will be filled, you didnt need to add a Jeezy show to drum up excitement. Have Jeezy perform when we play the Magic on a Wednesday night or some shyt. Thats how you get folks in the building.

Bruhs could Horford hit superstar level if he hit 3's consistent like he did against New Orleans? I mean he would be damn near unguardable and would definitely be a 20-10 type player...

I know it's basically terminology, but he won't be a superstar player. When I think superstar I think a guy image/talent wise is a flagship guy for the team/city/league, Al isn't that. Talent wise, I'd say he's a fringe superstar guy. On any given night I'll take him over most guys in the league.

But he won't get the true appreciation until he leaves the Hawks or retires, I hope the the former doesn't happen. This summer will definitely show since he's a tier A free agent.

Nah. I hate that he's taking so many 3's TBH, b/c it's taking him further from the basket. Even if he made the 3 at a 40% clip I don't think he'll ever be a 20-10 guy. He doesn't rebound at that level as is and as a scorer I think he's probably a 16-17 ppg guy. That's still really good for us, but he's not gonna get us more than that even in a best case scenario

Yea I agree. I don't look at Al as a superstar but he'll def get treated like one by the Hawks this summer

Even If he shoot the 3 at a 40% clip you dont think he'd average 20? He's a 17 ppg player now. He's shooting like 3 to 4 3's per game already.

The light switch came on for me the other day with what Bud is trying to do for him.

If AL hit the 3-ball even with Millsap's consistency he moves into top 13-19 player range imo.

Nah I don't see that at all. Al is solidly a top 25 player in the league. Even with a reliable 3, I don't see him elevating his overall game to near elite level this late in his career

Al's been elite. Most versatile big in the NBA.

Your definition of elite and mine are probably different then...he's a top 5 "center" in the league to me and very good, but I don't see Al as "elite" or doing elite things. I just see Al doing a lot of things very well but nothing at an "elite" level
