Sheed got complacent and had a tendency to jack up jump shots instead of dominating the paint. One of my all-time favorite players ever since I watched him in UNC and imo had all the tools to be in that Duncan/KG bracket. Or at least Webber. Except motivation and focus. Those problems would still be there today.
I always felt that, on the court anyways, he was way more team focused than to worry about putting up his own stats. I know he was a dikkhead sometimes, but for the most part he was an amazing teammate on the floor

I think the complacency wouldn't be looked at like that as much nowadays. I think he'd be encouraged to stretch the floor and take way more jumpers.

I only saw him from Portland onwards though, so maybe my perception is skewed by not seeing him when he was in college and on the bullets. I never had a view of him as a guy who didn't reach his potential

That's my point breh. :skip:

There were little guys who were less athletic that Barea who were making All-Star, All-NBA, All-Defensive teams in that era....so why the fukk wouldn't Barea get burn?

Watch Barea rip up OKC's defense in the WCF....and we're supposed to believe he couldn't do this against fukking Steve Kerr in the same era that Muggsy Bogues, Spud Webb, and Earl Boykins were getting mad burn?



Steve Kerr himself said that he wasn't athletic enough to play in this era. But he could get 20-25 minutes/game for the most dominant team in the 1990s.

Earl Boykins was nice but nikkas tweaking saying Muggsy Bogues better than Barea

People love to talk about Jordan's competition when players like JJ Barea would've virtually gotten no burn vs the Bulls in the finals Jordan played in
JJ Barea definitely would have played over Shandon Anderson or Howard Eisley. :usure:

Not to mention BJ Armstrong was a damn All Star.
