wow there. dont compare joe smith to kandi man and kwame. Sure the 95 draft had way better players like stackhouse, sheed, and garnett...but joe smiths rookie campaign and sophomore campaign werent bad at all...he did pretty damn good stats wise for a rookie. he just never panned out to be a sheed or kg. joe smith is talented.


And the thing is he actually probably could have been more. He was even off to a great third season until he ended up in Philly and on the bench. Then he signed in Minnesota where he was obviously overshadowed by KG. After that he probably fell into a role of role player. The guy is getting up there in age, but this year in Chicago there have been times when his old ass has carried the team. Someone on the Bulls board made a post making a point along these lines and saying its about opportunity. You kind of get the feeling he didn't have the opportunity at times and fell into a journeyman role.

Hell... I will say it Joe Smith has been the Bulls best player in several games. I would have never expected that from him.

Joe Smith is shooting like crazy lately, he should get a lot more touches if he can score like that.

I dunno. But I bet he's lost the six or seven Bball IQ left in his body.

Everyone says Michael Jordan is an a-hole and whatever, but you have to wonder...

Does Kwame Brown suck because Michael Jordan verbally raped him and called him a f----t?

I said it last year on the lakers board, Kwame has the potential to be the worst player in the league and no one believed me... till now.

It's shameful to note that two of the worst 1st overall picks ever are both of African descent. (Kwame and Olowokandi).

Oh well, at least we have Hakeem.

Where is Olowakandi? Exactly. No where. Kwame will be on NBA rosters probably for another 6-7 years. Sure, he will suck, and sure, he will be one of the worst players in the league, but at least he will be in the league. The same cannot be said for the Kandi man.

^ yea that's pretty much the extent of it. Kwame is horrible. He single handedly lost us that game against the suns, but he's in the league.

LaRue Martin is the worst 1st overall in the modern era.

Look up the name, kids.

No. Over there, he's a cricket star. Over here, he's a star character in the film American Psycho who hates/distrusts Jews and women.
