Another Thread, Same Subject

You sure can twist things people say. Your last sentence should prove my point, but somehow I am sure you will not see it that way. Once again, telling people their posts "aren't very smart" or "admit what you said was not very logical" is a personal attack in my book, maybe not yours. Your posts on other threads, as well as this one, made me make the statement about personal attacks. Look, we just disagree and that's okay. My opinion is that using a 1st round pick on this guy was a waste, while you think otherwise, nothing wrong with that. Just don't belittle my opinion.

My fears exactly. I can see the AAC marquees, "Now Showing, Manatis 2: The Shawn Bradley Clone."

?????????? UT should their true colors by not coming on the field to accept their second place award. Classless and a black-eye on the entire state because of our state university's lack of sportsmanship.

You should be a politician, e-bone. I don't believe I was wrong in using his European stats. Those are the only stats I have to go on. BTW, by your response, in the box above, you should clearly see how confrontational you are. I'm in my upper 30's and you are wearing me out. Coach, I don't care if he is a 7'5" purple kid. By your reasoning, if Shaq had gone to Europe out of HS he would have rode the bench for years because of his age? If you are right, then it explains why Europe has lagged behind the U.S. for many years on the BB court. If he has that much talent, enough to warrant the #20 pick in the draft, then he should have been playing more. I have seen the Mavs draft too many tall white guys that they state can handle the ball, run the court, etc, etc., etc., alla Chris Anstey, that never panned out.

Like I and JD stated earlier, it is not necessarily just this post, this tone seems to be a common one when you disagree with people. Don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with having a differing opinion, but when you use phrases such as: "I get irritated when people say things that aren't very smart" people tend to react. The above quote is just another way of saying, "Don't be a dumba$$" which tends to make people defensive. I don't really care if you agree with my opinion or not. I still think the 7'5" Russian, that averaged 2pts and 2 rebounds in the Italian league, is not worthy of a 1st round draft pick. Just My opinion.

Our chant come August? "Remember The Titans!"

I think John Denver pointed out how you are confrontational and have been in the past. You can chalk it up to "I don't sugar coat things....I speak my mind, etc..." but when you make personal comments about someone's post, expect to get feedback from them. If you are going to dish it out, don't be upset when it comes back around to you.

You don't see how you are being confrontational? Sorry if I took this comment as a shot at my thoughts on the Big Russian. I hope he pans out, but I see him being another European bust along the lines of the guy they picked from Serbia years ago. Anstey from Australia was another big white guy they said could run the floor like no other big man. I wonder where he is now?

And by the time he matures, his contract will be up, he'll become an unrestricted free agent and some other team will reap the benefits, if there are any. You enjoy being confrontational, don't you.

He averaged 2 pts. and 2 boards a game in the ITALIAN league. That is all I need to know.

Lloyd, Nemphius, Blab, Garnett, Farmer, Wennington, Bradley. Podkolzine, etc.... Just another in a long line of big white men with limited skills.

Mean Green Basketball Signs Kendrick Davis DENTON (6/7/04) – The North Texas men’s basketball team issued its final scholarship for the season as head coach Johnny Jones signed Houston, Tex., native and Univ. of Arkansas transfer Kendrick Davis. Out of Clements High School in Sugar Land , Tex. , Davis originally signed with Arkansas and spent his freshman and sophomore seasons playing for the Razorbacks. The 6-4, 181-pound guard will have to sit out the 2004-05 season due to NCAA transferring rules, but will have two years of eligibility remaining with the Mean Green. “We’re excited about the addition of Kendrick Davis to our basketball program,” said Jones. “He is an exceptional player and this will give us a head start on recruiting for our 2005 class. After visiting with Kendrick and his family, I feel that he will be a great fit for UNT and UNT will be a great fit for him and as well.” After an exceptional freshman season, Davis came back to average 5.4 points and 1.2 rebounds per game in 12.7 minutes per contest as a sophomore. He shot .341 from the field, .262 from the three-point line and ranked second on the team in free-throw percentage at .895 (34-38). Davis scored a season-high 19 points twice, against Jacksonville and South Carolina , and posted a season-high four assists in two games as well. He put up his best single-game numbers in the outing against Jacksonville , recording four assists, four rebounds and one block to go along with his 19 points. He reached double figures in the scoring column six times, including a 10-point effort in 12 minutes against nationally-ranked Mississippi State . The left-handed shooting guard made an immediate impact on the Arkansas team his freshman season, averaging the third most points on the team with 10.3 points per game. He also averaged two rebounds and 1.4 assists per game while shooting 37.9 percent from the field, .339 from beyond the arc and a team-best 79.1 percent at the free throw line. Davis began his career with a 13-point effort in the season-opener against Jackson State and the next game scored 23 points against Oral Roberts to become the first UA newcomer to score game highs in his first two outings since 1996. Some of Davis ’ best games during his freshman campaign came against nationally-ranked competition. He hit his biggest shot of the season against then-No. 20 Mississippi State as he made a driving layup with 25 seconds remaining in the game that gave the Razorbacks a 53-51 victory. Davis scored 14 points and added four rebounds, three assists and two steals against then-No. 20 Illinois . He made three of five three-pointers and scored a team-high 13 points against No. 4 Alabama on Jan. 8 and scored 15 points (all in the second half) and had four rebounds against No. 20 Georgia on Jan. 18. Davis led the team in scoring during 2002-03 eight times, scored in double figures 18 times, had a pair of 20-point performances and led the team in assists five times. At Clements High School , Davis earned all-state, all-city and all-district recognition and was named District 20-5A MVP after averaging 30 points, 5.4 assists and 4.6 rebounds as senior. The high-school standout led Clements to the district championship and a 22-11 record under head coach Ralph Farley. He had games of 46, 45 and 41 points during his senior season. Davis ended his high school career as Clements’ all-time leader in points scored (1,563) and three-point field goals made (241). As a junior, Davis averaged 19.5 points and 3.6 assists on a 25-10 team. He averaged 6.6 points and 5.0 assists as a sophomore on a 26-9 club, and 7.0 points and 4.0 assists as a freshman on a 25-8 squad.
