Just got home from doing a double and I have just one thing to say before I take a nap.

C-Webb deserves to be in the HOF. He better get in. Injuries or not he carried the Kings. They added pieces and got better each year but without him they are and were nothing. That’s in the wild wild west. The Lakers domination was crazy. They had the perfect mix of young and old talent along with a championship coach. Remember when they beat Tim Duccan’s Spurs by like 30pts a game in the playoffs? Yep just as I thought you don’t remember. Ok, Ok that was more than 1 thing but I would also like to add that head to head when C-Webb was healthy, he had classic battles with Duncan, Garnett and Dirk don’t get it twisted they played each other one on one. They usually cancelled each other out. Again, I’m speaking about his healthy years. I’ve got many battles on tape. It’s a shame the Kings didn’t win that year they would have stomped the Nets. Again,they didn’t have that mix. Just because you don’t win a title doesn’t mean your not a winner. I’m going to miss those sweet passes. I think he’s goint to be on TNT tonight with Kenny, Ernie and Charles. Ok that’s it I’m going to bed. I’ll be back up at 10p to do another double. Good night mates!! I know I sound all over the place I’m tired.

I mean many of these euro players need to work on their ball handling skills and ability to create their own shot. Also lets not forget on learning to play with their back to the basket and play defense.

Tim: I’d argue that for 90 to 95 percent of the college kids coming out it’s… the NCAA. More focused coaching on just them, an increased focus on fundamentals, and the chance to be taught. Plus the longer you can be taught the more you can develop good muscle memory.

At the NBA level you’re expected to be a finished product more or less. And I would establish a committee with mental health professionals, NBA Scouts, and Strength and Conditioning Coaches, to determine the 4 or 6 highschoolers every year who could get a waiver.

When you go down the list of talented players that have won postseason awards and to have him sweep them all…that’s impressive.

Okori — I don’t necessarily agree the kids would get a better development on the college level than the pro. Whose assistant coaches and facilities will be better for the kid coming out of high school — pros or collegiate. Even when you take Kentucky, Duke, UNC into the equation, with their top-tiered facilities, those budding stars should have the right to go into paid NBA internships, where they have access to the finest of what the sport has to offer — and even better (in the legal sense) the cash is ON the table!

I’m self-interested, though… these one-and-done tourneys are fantastic for the NCAA tourney…

well i think those guys would get in, but it’d be a much harder road than the guys who were at least juniors.

I also maintain that 99.9 percent of kids coming out of HS could use at least 3 years of major-college ball. Here’s why: Different styles of play, the chance to develop good habits as opposed to bad habits, and the resurrection of the NCAA

Durant is in - I believe the only freshman to win National Player of the Year and the Naismith.

They are in if for no more than historical points of reference.

Damn you eloquent bastards.
