@ bboley24	:	(20 May 2013 - 03:04 PM) b.) No one has mentioned the hoopsworld rumor that DH is intrigued with the possibility of yours truely
@ bboley24	:	(20 May 2013 - 03:04 PM) a.) Royce has screwed up any chance of someone with pyschological disorders to get signed. So much for being a Pioneer
@ 2016Champions	:	(20 May 2013 - 11:12 AM) The question remains, how do you rank them? By "who dominated their era more" or do you use the "time machine" argument?
@ 2016Champions	:	(20 May 2013 - 11:10 AM) That's pretty much what pioneer means.
@ rocketrick	:	(20 May 2013 - 07:44 AM) If it weren't for the "pioneers", the NBA wouldn't be what it is today. Royce White will probably make more money in his limited "career" than some of the big name players from past eras who made the game what it is today.
@ 2016Champions	:	(20 May 2013 - 02:45 AM) How do you rank someone like that?
@ 2016Champions	:	(20 May 2013 - 02:44 AM) I mean, Bill Russell is the GOAT if you're talking about who dominated his era the most, but in today's game he might just be a rich man's Ben Wallace.
@ 2016Champions	:	(20 May 2013 - 02:42 AM) I think pioneers should be on a completely different list all together, but that's probably just me.
@ rocketrick	:	(19 May 2013 - 11:46 PM) Although most on this forum never saw them play, I think it's difficult at best to keep Bob Cousy and Oscar Robertson off this list.
@ timetodienow...	:	(19 May 2013 - 10:59 PM) Top 5 point guards of all time 1)Magic, 2)Stockton, 3)Nash, 4)Thomas, 5)Kidd IMO
@ Richards	:	(19 May 2013 - 10:39 PM) Hate to see a player like him going out now. Time has come for sure though.
@ 2016Champions	:	(19 May 2013 - 06:23 PM) Time to retire. Do you think he could become a coach one day?
@ Richards	:	(19 May 2013 - 03:27 PM) Jason Kidd 10 straight games, and total of 25 games for this season with zero points.
@ feelingsuper...	:	(18 May 2013 - 01:01 AM) I had no problem this evening.
@ thejohnnygold	:	(17 May 2013 - 11:20 PM) it's working for me
@ 2016Champions	:	(17 May 2013 - 10:20 PM) Does anyone else have trouble accessing page 4 of the James Harden thread?
@ Sir Thursday	:	(16 May 2013 - 04:10 PM) @BenQueens: Probability of that happening is 4.5%. Still, didn't cost them in the end...
@ BenQueens	:	(16 May 2013 - 04:30 AM) Randolph 1/4FT in the last minute. Career 76.5% - Wow.
@ BenQueens	:	(16 May 2013 - 04:20 AM) Bad time for the Thunder to lose track of Tony Allen.

Lin's drive to the basket...

Ok I have to start a thread to finally bring to the forefront; Jeremy and his propensity to drive and "kick".

It's more or less like: Jeremy Lin's drive and "oh god I hope somebody is there to catch this!"

Why is it that our point guard is doing the right thing by driving and yet fails miserably by throwing the ball aimlessly after hitting traffic? It seems like a routine gig as a part of his driving nature and yet he still fails to see a teamate before he kicks the ball out. I have seen Patrick bail him out numerous times when he tosses the ball backwards hoping someone will be there to receive the wayward pass.

Please someone tell me they have noticed this throughout the season?

I think the announcers like to call it "over-penetrating" (which just keeps sounding worse the more you think about it). But Lin seems to do what a lot of rookies do and just drive in and get cut off or caught in the air. I know he doesn't have Chris Paul handles but this is basic "don't pick up your dribble" stuff. I think priority number 1 for Lin is to develop Tony Parker's tear drop. Once he can hit the floater I think he will get caught in the air less.
