More Mid-summer Chatter



























Best Coach of All-Time?
I may sound a bit biased but Phil Jackson. His accomplishments speak for themselves and his coaching philosophy is admirable. He doesn't take the cookie-cutter approach like many others, instead he's one of the best at tapping into the true potential of almost every player and team he's coached. Not to mention, they always come back to him.

Jason Kidd, Derron Williams, or Chris Paul?

Kidd can push the ball, thread the needle, and throw oops upside your head. D. Williams has good D, and plays the half-court set better than most PGs in the league right now. Chris Paul is one of the poster childs of the rising young NBA stars, but he has a lot more to prove if he wants
to be considered part of the elite. I give the nod to Derron Williams.

Kobe vs Lebron, who would win right now mano-a-mano?
My buddy asked me this. This is a tough one. Kobe's lost some weight, which makes him quicker and more capable of penetration. He has a better J than Lebron. Lebron can overpower him, but his passing skills won't do him much good in a one-on-one.

Winner: Kobe

Kevin Durant or Greg Oden, who will win a title?
I'll be honest, I haven't seen either of them play much. But I know that Durant is a natural
and Oden is a throwback center with great agility. It all depends on whether Durant ever develops other parts of his game besides scoring. There's a lot of players that can score, only few that are successful within the framework of a team to win consistently. I got a gut feeling, Oden is going to be part of something big.
