[QUOTE="Darth_Revan_666"]

[QUOTE="-Halftime-"]lol @ Nash being one of the best point guards of all time-Halftime-

Well he's definitly going to the HoF.

Because morons vote on it. He's a one dimensional player that didn't start putting up great numbers till about 2005. 6 years doesn't make a HOF career,especially when you're one dimensional and don't win championships.

One dimensional, what are you talking about? He's not a great defensive player, that's a given. But that's the only part of his game that's weak. Are we going to say Dikembe Mutombo isn't that good because he's not that great offensively? No. He's one of the best defensive players of all time. Nash is a phenomenal passer and deadly sharpshooter to boot. He's one of the most dangerous perimeter shooters and most importantly he makes his teammates better. Nash doesn't care about flashy numbers, he cares about setting his teammates up and making them look good.

The guy only played 33 minutes a game this year, on a bad team and he STILL led the league in assists. He'll likely end his career with 10000+ assists, along with the likes of John Stockton and Magic Johnson. He ranks 10 all time in 3 pointers made (and he's not done yet) and has the highest 3 point FG% of anyone in the top 50 3 point leaders. And it's not even close, guy hits 43% of his 3s all time. He's a hall of famer, there's no question.

[QUOTE="frostybanana"] Oh and no way Jason Kidd is a pure passer. He's the definition of the do-it-all point guard. No_Hablo_Ingles
doesn't seem that way to me at this point in his career. He can shoot, but when he drives he seems to be doing it to kick it out to shooters.

He's 38 years old, he doesn't have the quickness and strength he had in his better years. But it's not really fair to call him a pure passer when for the vast majority of his career he was so much more than that.

[QUOTE="frostybanana"] Marginal differences. Vision and passing ability go hand in hand so now you're splitting hairs. No_Hablo_Ingles
They are not mutually inclusive. When I say passing ability I literally mean the ability to make all the passes. I've seen Rondo do a bounce pass at half court, pass 3 defenders on the fast break, to hit a streaking Ray Allen for the dunk. That has less to do with vision (Westbrook would have saw the same thing) and more to do with being able to do a difficult pass through a tiny window that is closing.
You just seem insulted that someone would say something negatively about Rondo. The fact is Rondo is a pure passer and Westbrook can do it all and that's the reason he was picked over Rondo. Nothing more, nothing less. Now you can go and keep splitting hairs if you want, but that's the reason reflected by the coaches and I don't see how that's wrong exactly. frostybanana
I don't get insulted when someone says bad things about Rondo... honestly I expect a PG shooting FT worse then Howard to draw criticism. I disagree about Rondo being a pure passer (that seems better fit for a PG like Kidd), I prefer to say he is pass first (not the same thing IMO). From what I remember about the International game, a player like Westbrook is a better fit because he can shot from outside which improves spacing.

I've seen Westbrook make his share of pretty passes as well. Like I said, they're marginal differences. Oh and no way Jason Kidd is a pure passer. He's the definition of the do-it-all point guard.

All I'll say for now is, Pippen is certainly wrong! Jordan is not the "best scorer to ever play the game".

Ok, at least he said "maybe" or "probably", depending on which qoute you read.

mont13
He can use whatever qualifiers he wants, what he's saying remains the same. It would look pretty questionable (and probably hurt his credibility) if he outright said LeBron is a better player before he even gets his first ring so he didn't definitively state it. So now he looks slightly less crazy. If Kobe isn't as good as MJ (and he's not), then there's no way LeBron is, especially without the hardware. Jordan can play the numbers game as well, let's not forget that. He had a season in which he scored 32 PPG, 8 RPG and 8 APG. But Jordan's game transcends the numbers. And for Pippen to insinuate that Jordan is JUST a scorer is absurd. Jordan got it done at both ends of the court and is the greatest basketball player ever period.

[QUOTE="No_Hablo_Ingles"][QUOTE="frostybanana"][QUOTE="No_Hablo_Ingles"] Because he has a mid-range...

Yeah? He's a better all around guard than Rondo is and the USA Basketball team wanted his offense.

Because he can shot, nothing more. Rondo's Defense is better according to... just about everyone (there is a reason he is All NBA first team defense and got a DPOTY votes), Rondo's vision is better, Rondo's passing ability is better, Rondo makes better decisions with the BB. Westbrook has far more potential, and a much much better shooter.

Marginal differences. Vision and passing ability go hand in hand so now you're splitting hairs. If I were biased, which I'm not, I would split Westbrook's skill set as well to make it look like more of a overwhelming difference (he has a better jump shot, he's more athletic, he's more explosive on the break). There's no need for that really, you just seem insulted that someone would say something negatively about Rondo. The fact is Rondo is a pure passer and Westbrook can do it all and that's the reason he was picked over Rondo. Nothing more, nothing less. Now you can go and keep splitting hairs if you want, but that's the reason reflected by the coaches and I don't see how that's wrong exactly.

the guy 22 years old. give him a break. he's certainly had his blunders but he will learn and get better. he hasn't played well in this series, but durant has had his struggles as well. in fact, the ENTIRE team has been struggling. this isn't because those guys are playing poorly necessarily. they're playing a Mavericks team that is playing some good, solid defense. The same Mavs that completely shut down the reigning champion LA Lakers. Point is, Westbrook will get better. There is a reason he was chosen over Rajon Rondo for the USA Basketball team.

Sad as hell. I'd take the Macho Man over any of the disgraces that are in mainstream wrestling these days.

I would have to go with Poseidon. It was an amazing visual and doubly gratifying because you start the game off defeating a very powerful god. It really set the tone for the entire game.

[QUOTE="sanim02"]

[QUOTE="jimmypsn"]

Lots of gamers disagree with you that's why it didn't sell well. They don't want it and they are voting with their wallets.

jimmypsn

PSP games always sell poorly cuz of how badly the system got jacked up by the hackers.:? Also who says it's terrible? I have yet to meet someone who told me NOT to play it.:?

No man. If people truly thought the games were awesome. They would've bought it but they didn't. All PSP users are not pirates . That's just offensive man.

Just because a game is good doesn't mean it will sell well. It didn't sell well because of the platform, plain and simple. The game was critically acclaimed and most people that actually played it hold it in high regard.
