LOL...Mikenike...I think I found someone who had the john wall hype and is not good in the nba

found the post lol
all i can say is that this is all moot because wall's not in the nba yet. once he gets there, then argue. but knicksboy34 has one point, mikenike shouldn't get all worked up if someone disagrees with wall not being the greatest for the same reasons you say everyone else opinion is invalid, that we have to wait and see. when you guys are making arguments, don't let your emotions get the best of you (my word of advice for you, i'm 25) because you won't be able to make valid argument points.
actually those 2 are pretty comparable comming out...javaris is taller though and bigger..wall is faster and a slightly better passer then what javaris was at that point. because of walls hype if he puts up the same freshman numbers as javaris he will prob go top 2 unless someone has a breakout season
Crittenton will eventually find his place, he's gonna pan out the same way that Chauncey Billups did. THEY'RE NOT BY ANY MEANS THE SAME PLAYER OR SHARE THE SAME SKILLSET, I MEAN IN TERMS OF BEING TRADE THROW-INS AND JOURNEYMEN WITH TALENT. Crittenton should've stayed in school though. HE HAS POINT GUARD SKILLS, THATS WHAT HE IS. YOU CAN'T COMPARE WALL AND CRITTENTON. JUST STOP IT. WE DONT KNOW HOW EACH ARE GOING TO PAN OUT. LETS JUST SEE AT THE YEAR'S END. A PRIME EXAMPLE OF THIS SITUATION IS THE YEAR THAT THADDEUS YOUNG AND KEVIN DURANT CAME IN AS FRESHMEN. YOUNG WAS MORE TOUTED BUT WE SEE WHO IS THE BETTER PLAYER NOW RIGHT??

Noone said that this is how John Wall is gonna end up. I just wanted to show Mikenike that there are players similar to John Wall who had troubles in the NBA and that it's tough to call a HS kid the Future Greatest PG.
"There isn't much logic when it comes to the draft. There is only PROJECTIONS. There is no such thing as a sure thing. "Blake Griffen will never score an NBA hoop." That arguement is just as valid as "John Wall will be the greatest point guard ever," or "Ricky Rubio is John Stockton w/ more skills," or "Tyreke Evans is going to be a solid point guard."
Scoring a lot of points in college doesn't mean you will be a good NBA player. Jumping really high doesn't mean you will be a good NBA player.
Brandon Jennings is either better than John Wall or not. What may be proof to you, may not be proof to others.
You are all just guessing.
Therefore, all of your arguments are invaid!
I win you biatches."
You were refering to this?
We'll just have to wait and see at next year's combine to see if butidont is right about the athletic ability of John Wall... I doubt he's quicker than Rondo and Rose though. I haven't seen a lot of john wall, though, to be honest. He probably just looks really fast cuz he's playing in HS! hahaha HS.
which doesn't mean anything (this is all assuming wall is as good as mikenike thinks he is and enters the draft)
Then how is "He is not faster than Rondo" more valid than "He is faster than Rondo"?
You have to question the validity of somebody who is questioning the validity of your statement when you question the ability to call a statement a statement, because while you can question the validity of a statement you cannot question the validity of an opinion because opinion isn't a valid statement, meaning questioning the validity of my opinion or questioning the validity of mikenike's projection would lead to everybody questioning the validity of your statements that question everybody's questions. Any questions?
It isn't.

Duhhhh
I think it is still early to knock on Critterton who looked promising his first year when he played with the Lakers. I think all the trades and lack of minutes have effected him a lil. He may have come out to early but I think once he get time and some minutes he will be pretty good. NBA sometimes confidence is a big factor. It is possibly that Wall is hype but Rose and Mayo got the same hype or more and they are doing well. Why compare Wall to Critterton and why not compare him to Rose. Also Jennings is said to be real quick and most young player suck on D so Jennings outscoring Wall does not say much.
KNICKSBOY
I compared him to Crittenton to show mikenike that not every fast PG is a 100% All-NBA lock. He called him the Best Point Guard Ever...
i did not say he was the best PG ever i said i wouldnt be surprised if he turns out to be, and i also said i know a star when i see one , like i knew "to show mikenike that not every fast PG is a 100% All-NBA lock" that, thats like implying that i think Usain Bolt will be all NBA
I made a mistake. You say he will be the Best PG ever. ( is that not the same thing)
I dont know how you got Usain Bolt in here.
And you say you think He will be the best PG ever on the other post...you did not say suprised once. As a matter of fact you told us to wait and watch....
"great another doubter, u will learn soon enough"
"Yup that i did say it, oveboard or not , watch and learn"
those are your post copied and pasted
thanks and yes i do think he will be one of the greatest, but i wouldnt be surprised if he does become the greatest
"I compared him to Crittenton to show mikenike that not every fast PG is a 100% All-NBA lock."
u must think i have 0 knowledge about the game, my 10 year old sister knows that, if that was the case T.J Ford wold be an all nba player
