I was going to post this earlier, but I've been busy pushing crack and talking to hookers on the streets of Philly. This was in last week's Sports Illustrated, and I think it really just speaks for itself:
Which NBA player thinks he's a lot better than he really is?
Kendrick Perkins, Celtics C.....8%
DeShawn Stevenson, Wizards G.....8%
Rashad McCants, T-Wolves G.....5%
Dahntay Jones, Nuggets G......5%
Damon Jones, Bucks G.....5%
This pretty much just confirms what Celtics fans have known for a while. Pharaoh Perk thinks he's a viable offensive option capable of Al Jefferson highs, when really he's just a Pharaoh space-eater. I appreciate what he does defensively and on the boards, but he should really never ever shoot unless it's an easy dunk (which he manages to screw up most of the time anyway). The man literally has no offensive moves in his repertoire; I don't understand how somebody can have so little self-awareness. Once the Big 3 retires and it's just Rondo and Perk leading the way, we're going to be royally fucked.
PS, DeShawn was also a no-brainer on this list. Dude thinks he can stay with LeBron. Seriously? Just ask Jay-Z how that all turned out.
PPS, Is anyone hoping that they ask "Which NBA player thinks he's a lot worse than he really is?" Rajon's gotta top that list. Dude pops off for 19-15-14 and somehow still looks like he's gonna shit his pants whenever the camera's on him. Also, check out this little nugget of love:
Factoring in the typical jumps as players get older (as well as better free-throw shooting), we might see the following peak season for Rondo some day: 16.1 ppg, 10.8 apg, 7.2 rpg, 2.5 steals, 55.4 percent FG. It's in play. We also should mention that he's a good defensive player and immensely fun to watch.
That would be fun. Hopefully it happens before all of those assists are wasted on the Pharaoh.
SI Poll - Whatever
Rajon Rondo - Sickest Thing Ever
