Not to mention the least entertaining superstar in recent memory.

To be fair the center position is really weak right now, although he is probably the best there is. I'm not sure there is s superstar in that entire positional group.




and as weak as it is, he still doesn't stand out

shite he was 3rd in PER among Centers and one of 9 NBA centers with a PER over 21.00 (21.73)

Kind of surprised at the Gasol hate, but not surprised it is Boom and LE leading the charge.

For me personally i don't find the guys in MEM likeable at all. Conley is but most of the other guys? No way. I think d12 is a pretty likeable guy. Seems like he has a good heart and does tons of work in the community. And he's not afraid to he himself he likes to laugh and joke around. Notice the 'we don't bluff' and all that tryin to act hard BS. Pffft gimme a break

I'm just happy to see he's moved from rookie ball over at Pels talk to some AA stuff. Can't wait to see him take his talents over to the OT lounge.

IMO, he doesn't score enough to be a superstar, and it's not because he's on a team with a ton of offensive threats. He scored over 30 points 1 time this entire season (he had two other games with exactly 30 points).

Maybe I have a negative opinion of him because he doesn't play very well against the Pels (which is when I watch him the most).

Since playoffs started Pels have been off my radar. Insignificant so to speak. I'll be back to weigh in on the 15-16 season in a couple months.

They have a bunch of players that most fans don't care about. Also you only really hear about the good from their players since they aren't a market the media really cares about.

Most people can't stand the dude. He came into the league as this choir boy and his baby mama situations has killed his reputation. Any little thing he does is magnified because of the hate people have for him. He was one of the most likable players in his early Orlando years. Him forcing his way from there along with his Lakers situation and personal life has killed his reputation.

This is a solid post that shows you follow your team really close and down't follow a team like the Grizzlies all that closely. Which is fair, but you should at least mention that before shitting on other teams.

Tony Allen comes on the radio all the time and is hilarious. Marc Gasol wears goofy arse t-shirts, quotes pulp fiction during post game interviews, and spends a ton of time working with St. Jude. Zbo won a community assist award from the NBA.

This was all after a game against the Pelicans near the end of the season:

Well according to you, at least one of those guys ahead him in PER DeMarcus has a meaningless 25.2. So where does the other guy, Brook Lopez(an afterthought in the NBA right now) 22.7 rank on your meaningful stat scale?

Given his city and team he likely has more endorsements than Gasol, so he's definitely winning in that department.

I believe anything JT says. Also, Mike Conley looks so uncomfortable every time he is on camera in this.

Youve got a Euro who aren't likeable in general then guys like Randolph and Allen and Barnes who act like they are the baddest dudes alive. Conley comes off well in interviews So I kinda like him. Then they bring guys like Doufus and Calathes off the bench who look like guys in the over 40 rec league.



Ohhhh boom. Will you ever learn?

A Houston fan who wants to talk shite about how unlike able another team's players are.

Boom is the most unlikeable motherfricker on the planet.

You're prob a close second.

Best Center in the NBA and it's not close.


One could easily make the case that Cousins will surpass him soon, if it hasn't already happened. So it is at the very least close.
