    Ahhhh jesus, I'm done.

    Never said anything about Thabeat. Nice try.

    Was I right about KD being a top 10 player of all time?

    I was a 21 year old kid that thought Shanks was the smartest guy in the room. Obviously, that poor judgement on my part.

    Is KD getting better every season? There are some nba writers who think that KD should win most improved player in the league this year that is how much its obvious how he gets better each year.

    More often than not I've been right about the Thunder. I played basketball growing up and watch them more religiously than any of my other teams. I like to make predictions. So what. I made some bad ones when I was much younger and everyone now holds it against me. Thats ok.

    Wow, some writers have opinions, that means a heckuva lot.
    Jaws said Kaep could be top 5 all-time (which will never ever ever ever be the case).
    You drink the kool-aid wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too much. Sometimes it's good to take a step back and try to be even a little bit objective.

    MCW has the skillset to average a triple-double for his career.
    Boom, I have now made him a better player than he actually is.

    Do you not think that KD has vastly improved his game this year?

    I think MCW has that skillset. Thats fair to say considering his size. I hope the sixers end up getting two top 10 picks. Put Parker/Smart on that team and MCW would put up SICK numbers.

    He has a chance to be. He's not even close right now, but is still young.

    If we are talking about absolute peak of a basketball players career then KD is already a top 10 player. But, you do need longevity and as long as we dont' assume injury its safe to put KD in that category.

    For some reason nobody talks about KD's defense. He isn't one of the best in the league but he is getting there. He is finally learning how to use his length.

    He scored 0 in the 4th last night, maybe if he got some rest and didnt care about his ego, they would of won last night.

    Right now, yes, eventually KD will pass LeBron, sometime in the next 3 years is my guess.

    Maynor was until he tore his ACL.

    KD will in 3 years, a lot of people even some LBJ fans have said the same too.

    Just like when Kobe was the best, then it was LeBron, eventually it will be KD.

    Nothing crazy about that.

    LOl, now the 2nd biggest homer on the internet shows up.

    The reason the Heat lost last night, (if you watched the game) is that Chris Bosh was terrible and couldn't hit a wide open shot and Beasley couldn't guard a fly. Lebron scored in the 4th last night, what are you talking about?

    You guys don't realize I've watched Eric Maynor since he was a freshman in college at VCU. The guy isn't and never was anywhere close to the best backup PG in the league. He barely even has a job now...the Wiz had to trade for a old ass Andre Miller just to not have to put Temple at PG.

    James did not score in the 4th last night.

    Maynor wasn't athletic to begin with but when he had his surgery he was done. Right now he isn't a NBA player.

    Oh yeah, your right. Maybe he should have been more selfish and not have set up open shots for MVP Bosh

    I didnt watch the game, i saw he had 22 entering the 4th.

    Ended with 22.

    Beasley/DWade had more points than him.
