Wow, that thread was painful. Especially the guy talking about how bad the defense is in the NBA. Because, you know about all those lock down Euros that are dominating the NBA.

Have you ever heard of this guy?

Averaging near 8.5 PPG makes you one of the greatest Greek players of all time?

Gotta keep Tyreke Evans' name in that discussion. Jennings is deserving of his praise so far -- guy has been unreal. But watching Tyreke every night, I can't believe he's 20.

Last night vs. Dallas...
29 points (13-21 FG, 2-2 3-pt FG), 10 assists, 7 rebounds, 1 steal, 1 block

He's supposedly a great defender. Plus, stats are tough to come by in Europe. It's a much slower, more deliberate game. It's much lower scores, and IMO, a lot of "overcoaching". That's one of the reasons a guy like Jennings comes here and tears it up, IMO.

By comparison, a guy like Josh Childress only averages 12-13 PPG in Greece, but he shoots something like 60% from the field.

I just watched that whole standup on Netflix..one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

BTW, that wasn't posted because of the Kobe thing (which is hilarious regardless)..I just thought a few would get a kick outta those jokes.
