Like how he never took ownership of missed assignments on defense(though I always thought the criticism was overblown too much by low IQ fans).

Then there was the mentioned ANNNDDD 1!!! Which he cried out after every shot near the rim...Even if it was on a fast break in an empty gym.


I get it. For me, though, any of that was outweighed by those timely rebounds he did get, his toughness, and his absolutely killer fall away jumper.

Oh don't mistake that for not recognizing that. West may be one of, if not, my favorite player since I have followed this team.

Guy embodies almost everything you want out of a supporting guy. I would kill for a guy like West on this Pelicans team. A leader, a fiery competitor, plays both ends and is consistent while not monopolizing the ball.

West was the opposite of high variance. Guy was the epitome of consistency. I remember the stat form that 07 run where West had only ONE game where he scored both less then 10 points and less then 10 boards. Outside of that game he ALWAYS gave you at least 10 points or 10 boards. Then the following season only scored less then 10 ONCE....When he got hurt 15 minutes into the game. He always found a way to give you something.

Make no mistake about it David West might be my favorite Hornet. My respect continues to grow for him game by game.

Seeing him give up the type of money he did to go to SA for a chance at a ring just reinforces that.

On the flip side with Chris Paul, he continues to get more annoying by the year. I know it might sound unappreciative but I just cant stand to watch him now. The flopping, whinning and "unintentional" Shots to the groin makes him hard to tolerate.
