Frank Brickowski after being baited and taunted into getting himself ejected going against Rodman

"I wish he were as confused about his basketball as he is about his sexuality," he said. "We'd be in better shape."
or
Cedric Maxwell on his offseason plans
”After I`m through playing, I`m going to drive around in my big car, go to construction sites, roll down the window and say, `Sorry, boys, but I got nothin` to do today.` ”
I’m thinking more NBA front office backlash for the first but more societal backlash for the second. Frank may face discipline. Cedric wouldn’t…but he would get booed. Frank probably gets cheered depending on the market.

Tim Hardaway’s topping both of those.

There's no consequences NBA-wise as far as what Cornbread said. His comment will probably just get dragged through the mud on 'insert social media platform of choice'.
Frank is probably getting a 250k fine, forced into sensitivity training, AND dragged all over social media.

Tim might face a five game suspension and forced sensitivity training.

We really go into Barnes, that would be the bottom of the things he did that would cause public outcry.

He would just get roasted on IG, kind of like Kyrie and the flat earth.

What I wanna know is why is Cedric Maxwell in the top ten in career TS% along with the likes of DeAndre Jordan, Toody, Jokic, Curry, and Tyson Chandler.
I didnt really watch him play but hes listed as a small forward so I find it very confusing. I understand why everyone else on that list is there. Theyre either dunking centers or top 20 GOATs. To be fair John Collins is also in the TS% top 10 which surprises me.

He has a Finals MVP and was starting over McHale for many years.

But like what was his game? Because most guys in the top 5 all time of shooting efficiency are either centers who only dunk, or legendary all time greats.
How was Maxwell scoring so efficiently from the small forward position to be 4th all time in TS%, between Jokic at #3 and Curry at #5.
Just seems like a very surprising/random name to see in that spot to me.
Tho as I said, John Collins is also a really weird name to see there at number 7, ahead of KAT at #8 and KD at #11.
Collins doesnt feel like a guy who only dunks and/or never misses a basket. I know he takes at least some three pointers. So how the hell is he so quietly an all time top 10 player in scoring efficiency.

H combo of being a great slasher with quick moves around the rim while not being that athletic. He wasn’t a bad ass elite, but he wasn’t the kind of explosive. You would think he got to the rim. He was basically an under size guy who would attack slower players who defended the foul line down. He could draw fouls pretty well too, but I wouldn’t call him a really good shooter. Considering he didn’t take any threes I’m also surprised his career averages as high as it is. Well, not surprised because I’ve always known it but when people started shooting threes you figured he’d go down the list of a number that factors that in.
Think a shorter And really explosive coming out of the triple threat Antawn Jamison Who started his attack at 12-18 feet almost every time.
I don’t really remember him having a lot of moves. He got to the basket like really explosive guys, but he didn’t just finish over you. I don’t have a crystal clear memory of him his first few years so maybe I missed the days he was dunking on everybody. He was just a little Tweener forward who had the size to be a Tweener wing who should really be a 2. Pretty unique guy.
Not great.
Good.
Definitely benefited from having better players with him so he could sneak in and do damage as the other other guy.

Andrew Toney was kinda like that as well, but a lot better at it. Little guy who is inexplicably kind of a power two guard but also quick as ****. I think Toney had a way better jumper but again Maxwell isn’t a guy I have a crystal clear memory of at his best.

You know what? Sarunas marciulionis was also like that. May have been an era thing. Guys who were tall as kids were Way more likely to be traditional big men on lower levels back then when tall people weren’t trying to expand their games as much. They didn’t look to the future and train people to have the expanded skill set because on the higher levels everybody was big. They just make the tall kid a forward or a center even though most of them will stop growing early. A lot of those midsize guards were probably bigs when they were little just like I was and kept a lot of in between and interior finishing game.
That’s how I ended up a two guard sized power forward. I’m sure it wasn’t rare.
A lot of those old-school midsize guards played like Dwyane Wade after he lost his hops.

Idk if Cornbread isn't better than say a guy like John Drew or Dan Roundfield or Jeff Ruland who were all stars in the East.
