    Good and necessary win by Clippers

    It's crazy how people overrate Chris Paul. Never even made an NBA Finals. Yet John Wall (who is basically the exact same player) gets bashed for not winning.

    He does? Outside of Cowherd hating on Wall, I haven't heard or seen this "doesn't have a ring" narrative with Wall.


    We get it, you're a UK fan.

    This is a reach.

    Who bashes Wall? lol. Even Cowherd has come around from his rookie year hate. Jesus Az, get off the UK Message boards. Those people are looney tunes making up arguments about former players like Sleeper.

    When not sending death threats to college refs.

    Yeah buike loves a good UK shoutout even though it makes zero sense. Definitely needs to get off the uk message boards. Talk about a delusional fan base.

    Cowherd was making this point a few months back, is there a more delusional fanbase than UK fans? I mean if you were putting together a 5 man team with former UK players, would anyone pre-calipari even be on it? Would the best player be...Anthony Davis?

    Kansas has wilt, unc has Jordan, ucla has Kareem, Kentucky has...?
  • wildcats20
    Jamal Mashburn
    Rex Chapman
    Teyshaun Prince
    Antoine Walker
    Rajon Rondo

    I can't really think of any other big names PRE-Cal.

    Obviously none remotely close to some names of the other schools.
  • wildcats20
    Tony Delk
    Nazr Mohammad
    Ron Mercer
    Sam Bowie(lol)

    In basketball, I'd agree. In college football it's between the Domers and OSU.

    I do or I have in the past.

    He's actually played a lot better this year than I originally expected so I'll give him credit.

    I also think CP3 is overrated.

    Sorry but no one is as delusional as ND fans.

    Kenny Sky Walker folks!

    Probably Dan Issel. 27,482 points.

    Yes, but you bash anyone who isn't top 5 in the league.

    Az made it seem like people say Wall should be coming off the bench.
  • Azubuike24
    No. Wall is clearly a top 25 player in the league. I just recall people would generally rank Paul among the league's elite players and my point was there isn't much difference in the two. It was actually more of a statement to say Paul was overrated...Wall is just the best comparison to him. Their numbers and achievements are almost identical.

    That's not true at all. John Wall got a ridiculous amount of hype coming into the league and besides this season he's been mediocre at best. What has he won? How many playoff series has he won?

    This.

    ND is so overhyped every year.
  • wildcats20
    KD sitting tonight with a left calf strain. Either he's actually hurt(probably could play) or Steve Kerr knows it doesn't matter against the Blazers.
  • wildcats20
    Russ with 22, 8, 10 in the first half.
  • Ironman92
    OKC playing well but I don't think they can do it for 4 quarters. Houston wins it late as Westbrook goes 1 on 1 last half of the 4th
