With athletes like that playing defense, Steph would have had no chance.

The "look" defense, as in, if I look at him hard enough he'll miss.

Oscar's not winning a lot of support. Claiming that all the current players, coaches, and front office people in the league are too stupid to figure out how to win is kind of a tough argument to sell.

You also have to wonder if he's even watched many games. Because teams do pick Steph up pretty far out.

Come on, Phil. Let some respect rise above the jealousy.

Stephen Jackson wins the top dumbass award for the category -- the older I get, the better I was.

That really puts the issue in perspective. It is my opinion that, back in the dark ages of the NBA, standout players like Wilt and the Big O stood out as significantly better than their peers. Their stats reflected their outstanding accomplishments...but teams did not have the wealth of talent that today's teams do. So an outstanding player in this era (see Curry, Steph) is necessarily a more skilled and physically gifted player than the stars of yesteryear.

Coach K on Grayson Allen -- http://nypost.com/2016/02/29/coach-k-pl ... g-defense/
"I thought the [ACC] took action, and you’ve got to move on. The world doesn’t move on, because it’s Duke.”
Yeah, right. People watch him deliberately trip two players on tv and the only reason they think it is wrong is because he plays for Duke. What a tool.

In one of the oldest buildings on the USC campus, they had a plaque honoring Preston Brooks, the Congressman who beat Charles Sumner with a cane on the Senate floor. I saw the plaque almost 40 years ago, it may be Brooks was a USC alum. I don't know if it is still there.

These students need to be careful. Memories are long in SC.

Wikipedia: Brooks attended South Carolina College (now known as the University of South Carolina) but was expelled just before graduation for threatening local police officers with firearms.
