nate jonesacc Wrote:Elton Brand???? candidate for MVP this season????

this needs to be elaborated upon...I want to hear this

HERE YA GO FELLAS!

Elton Brand averaging 19 PPG, 12 Rebs, 3 blocks, and shooting 50% from the field.

#4 in total rebounds per game
#1 in offensive rebs per game
#1 in blocks per game
#1 in total blocks
<span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'>#7 in efficiency ranking</span>
#17 in Field goal %
#11 in total rebounds
#2 in double doubles

Do you ******** ever bother to watch sportscenter? They rave all over Elton every time they do highlights. Even your moron light blue fella Stuey Scott gives him "props". He's been called "Ben Wallace with an offensive game" more than once. Bill Walton and The Czar commented on Friday about how the Clippers are absolutely TERRIBLE without Elton, because he was out on Friday, and the Clips were TERRIBLE.

Please, do some research before making stupid ****** comments.

Rick has to turn every thread into something about UNC.

I didn't say a damned thing about UNC. Of course UNC has the best NBA players out of anyone. Hell, they're alumni are probably better than Duke's and Maryland's combined. See, I am at least rational about this kind of ******.

Unlike some people, who seem to think that Maryland alumni are better than Duke. That is some hilarious ******! Steve Francis makes a pitstop at Maryland, dominates in the NBA, and now Maryland has better NBA players than Duke. :laugh: :laugh:

when was the last time that an NBA MVP came from a team mired in mediocraty? that's what I meant

I know his stats..he should get out of LA ASAP...IMO

nate, you talk about people making stupid ****ing comments wothout doing research, well maybe you should do the same...do you even know half of Steve Francis' story

and if Francis made a "pit stop" at umd, what did brand, maghette, and avery do at Duke...

I'm not saying he will be MVP. What he will do is get the eye of the voters. He is a candidate, not a hugely strong one, but he has a chance. If the Clips make the playoffs, which is feasible, then Elton will get serious look from MVP voters.

BTW, yes, he should get out of LA. He ought to go somewhere like (back to) the Bulls. The Bulls trade away Jalen, Chandler and Curry away to free salary room, start losing on purpose to win LeBron. JWill, Lebron and Brand... :eek: That would be the team of the future, if they could afford it.

Ok, I shouldn't have used the word "pitstop", but you get my drift. It's not like Stevie was a three to four year guy, leading Maryland to a national champtionship, like many Duke players have.

nm...forget it...

But McLeod and Carrawell? Neither were even drafted in the first round!

From Roshown's official player profile at :

<a href='http://www.nba.com/playerfile/roshown_mcleod/?nav=page' target='_blank'>http://www.nba.com/playerfile/roshown_mcleod/?nav=page</a>

Selected by the Atlanta Hawks in the first round (20th pick overall) of the 1998 NBA Draft


...You were saying? That makes Roshown a bust, IMHO.



<!--EDIT|The Peoples Champion|Dec 24 2002, 12:35 PM-->

Hey, you're right. I'm wrong, I thought he was drafted in the 30s, but oh well. He still wasn't a bust. An underacheiver? maybe, he did average 10 PPG his last year, until I think he got injured. I'm not totally sure, though.

IMO, in order to be a bust, you have to be drafted in the lottery.

You talk like Ray Allen is the defensive player of the year or something....

-JD

BTW, I think Allen had 35 last night.

And, actually know, the first post in reference would be the first mention of UNC. :wave:

nate jonesacc Wrote:And, actually know,

Before some of the other find it, don't you mean "no" instead of "know"?

The first post was about the dook rumor. It was taken in the context of what was going around about UNC. You were the one who made it about UNC.

As was my post. It was to point out that any rumor can be started, and my case in point was a former UNC player. Both are icontext to another point. Duh

It was you who went off on an unwarranted tangent about UNC and their pros, when it was fine between me and damascus and navy.

Geez, let me look in my Christmas stocking and see if I can find the Nate Jones primer on what is allowed in a thread..... :rolleyes:

I never said anything was or wasn't allowed, just pointing out a tendency you have. It's quite annoying, BTW.
