No one overrates him. You're dumbass refuses to just admit that Randle>Parker. It's fukking clear as day and you want to stay on the "I'm still right" train. It sailed, Parker ain't shyt and Randle is better than him. No one is overrating Randle, he's a quality bench/role player, no one is calling him anything else.

Before the injuries, Jabari was a legit 2nd/3rd option, when Julius was nothing more than a role player (and still is), yet y'all Lakers fans wouldn't admit defeat. Y'all kept aruging and aruging otherwise, despite the rest of the board telling y'all it was over.

If the Lakers drafted Jabari we wouldn't even be having this conversation.

Why do I need to keep repeating this?

He's a Lakers fan, their idea of rebuilding is waiting on some big free agent to sign with them or trading for talent from small market teams like Memphis. Kobe was over 20 years ago, when's the last time they've scored big through the draft?

The Grizz are on that Spurs rebuilding plan, developing young talent while still remaining competitive. They've done a heck of a job doing that so far with the cards they've been dealt (granted some of those cards have been self-inflicted)

Jaren Jackson is a star, if they on that Spurs rebuilding plan, he might be the Grizz' Duncan. Especially with the numbers hes putting up.

Injuries happened and even without the injuries his playstyle would not fit into today's NBA. We can't argue Rose over other players today because injuries derailed his full potential, that isn't how it works.

You fukking know this too. I know you know this. You understand perfectly why he's a bad fit for the NBA, but you insist on continuing this because 1) don't to be wrong and/or 2) you just don't want to concede to Laker fans.

Randle has improved a lot since those days too, he isn't just the same player even though you insist he is. He does less dumb shyt, exerts more energy towards the right things(as in defense/screening/etc) and isn't nearly as bad as making up his mind with what to do with the ball when he touches it and instead reacts to what the defense is doing.

Randle is also no longer on the Lakers. We got no affiliation for him left, yet people still defend him because we know we're right. You don't see any Laker fans still defending Clarkson and a bunch turned on DLo too, so it's not just because he was once a Laker but because it's actually just the fact that he's the better player.

Also @Gil Scott-Heroin remember when I said Kemba should be in the MVP discussion. :mjgrin:


I'd say forget this if he drops off, but I know you'll remember it anyways and tag me like 30 times telling me about it.

And do you remember what I told you -

He won't keep up this pace (he started off hot last season and then his form went on a rollercoaster), and his team won't be a high-enough seed.
