    I have said many times that Austin is a really good player but I have yet to see his supporters admit to his obvious flaws.If I missed this admission I apologize. A lot to read and remember

    You're the one that need to come up with names. You mentioned Trae, @abeer3 what's the site you use for the LEBRON stats?

    So Vince, who are these "offense-only players who can't play well in the playoffs" bracket that AR is part of, in addition to Trae?

    I dont need to come up with anything. I gave you a direct comparison that is not that far off.

    But here you go: DeRozan

    Cam Thomas not at same level, but the fact that he was a 24ppg scorer with decent efficiency the year before and he got waived, speaks volumes as to how little offensive-only players are valued right now in the NBA.

    Winning is great, but it is about the journey. People who don't get that, don't deserve to win.

    .

    Seriously? I never said he doesn’t make mistakes and or TOs or get picked. You DID say he “couldn’t” get by the playoff defenders into the paint and to score at the rim. Mocking the video just posted showing and making an intelligent article about the importance of him doing it for the team with 6 different plays showing him doing it. How disengenuous can you get.

    This “debate” is just devolving.
    One side provides facts while the other doesn’t.
    It became trolling pages ago.
    When someone backs up their claim by using +\- stats, you know their case is paper thin.

    I said can’t and struggled and I just posted video showing both.So what I just posted video of him being terrible at it. I showed video just like you did.Your video didn’t bother me why does mine bother you?

    You really can’t say or post any of AR flaws or people start calling you names

    as opposed to cherry picking stats and footage? Jesus!

    and I was replying to a dude who brought up his physical stats as if that could somehow excuse his bad playoff performances.

    guys he shot 40/25, with 27 turnovers in 6 games, HE WAS BAD, you're defending the indefensible.

    This is what happens on most of these boards.You go against the echo chamber and suddenly the name calling starts and the virtue signaling.Happens a lot
