Brandon Jennings thinks he is better then "overhyped" Ricky Rubio.

[QUOTE=GOBB]Y



And this could be said about Allen Iverson career in Philly. Yet no one ever considered it. Kinda funny.[/QUOTE]
I said the same thing about Iverson in Philly. That's how the dude excels and that why LB built that team around him. I think that they were a great team that complimented him great in the year they went to the finals. That was a special year.

Who said this was a week draft class?

Overhyped Rubio is just overhyped, and I strongly agree with Jennings and other rookies.

he is right also because rubio is scared to come to the NBA. rubio threads should be ban-worthy. this **** doesnt deserve any of the hype surrounded by him. its sad to see fans delusional

[QUOTE=adamcz]I got a better question for you. How about you tell me when Jason Kidd, Steve Nash, John Stockton, Deron Williams, Chris Paul ever won a championship? If pure point guard play really leads to championships, you better come up with a really good excuse why those guys don't have them.
[/QUOTE]

I've been thinking a lot about this recently, and I think you're right. At the end of the game, you want your best player taking the shot. But if you're best player is a "pure PG" then he's best at setting up someone else and not himself.

Jason Kidd was great in NJ because he made Jefferson and Martin All-Stars. Which is nice and all, but who the f*** wants those two guys shooting to win a title?

And if you do have a superstar, you don't want to take the ball out of his hands and give it some "pure PG". When Dallas is trying to win a game in the fourth quarter, they're giving the ball to Dirk and telling everyone else to spot-up and get the f*** out of the way. So Kidd's play-making ability with the ball in his hand becomes pretty pointless.

Rubio is one of the most overrated players ever, along with Darko. How about waiting until the guy actually does something in the NBA before you call him great? He's done nothing to deserve the amount of hype he gets.

Yet someone like John Wall is already worshipped here as the second coming of Jesus Christ. What the hell has [i]he[/i] ever done, compared to Rubio??

Excellent point... at least Rubio has played against men. Wall has only played against kids. He hasn't even played in college yet. :rolleyes:

Yes he has, and he scored 29 points...

Hes also played against NBA players in the summer....

Pickup games in the summer mean nothing... you really think the NBA players were going 100%??

You're right, Wall did play one collegiate game... against Morehead State. :rolleyes:

Rubio played against......

Chris Paul
Deron Williams
Jason Kidd
Kobe Bryant
Dwyane Wade
Michael Redd
LeBron James
Carmelo Anthony
Tayshaun Prince
Carlos Boozer
Chris Bosh
Dwight Howard

Lets end this argument once and for all:

Brandon Jennings is the better, and more productive, NBA player.

Ricky Rubio hasn't played in the NBA, so we cannot compare him with players that have actually produced in the NBA.

John Wall hasn't played in the NBA, nor has he played in high competition against NBA players, so comparing him with Jennings, Rubio, or anyone else is pointless.

The best thing about him saying that, is that he said this long before he dropped 55 last night.

[QUOTE=itsGameTime]The best thing about him saying that, is that he said this long before he dropped 55 last night.[/QUOTE]

Of course he did, but until Rubio plays in the NBA its impossible to know who is a better NBA player

The Iverson and Kidd comparison are legit. Let's not forget Rubio is a GREAT defender like Kidd

Charlie V scored 48 in his rookie season too and it wasn't against a team as bad defensively as these Warriors...

just saying...

It was against Milwaukee :ohwell:

Charlie V didn't average 20 points and 6 assists on 50% shooting. And his team didn't suddenly get better when he was a rookie.

You obviously didn't see either of Jennings' last two games. If you had, you would understand the difference well enough to not bring this up. In 7 NBA games, Jennings has already put up 4 all-star worthy performances. What the **** is up with everybody bringing up Tony Delk, Charlie Villanueva, Filp Murray, and all the other one hit wonders who haven't in their entire career had as many good games as Jennings has had?

Charlie V has. And Flip Murray becoming notable was when he was in Seattle avg 20ppg there for a short period of time.

I haven't read any post about Wall being better than Jennings. I have, however, read posts about Rubio still being the top PG of this draft, and better than Jennings.

I'll watch parts of the games later on tonight (league pass archive), haven't seen him play at all actually. But I don't care how good he is, this type of hysteria is ridiculous 8 games into his career (bucks going to be a solid playoff team, jennings best scorer since Kobe etc etc). Charlie V also had back to back 25+/12+ games in the first couple of weeks of his rookie season. Remember watching the 48 point game and thinking he was going to be a star...turned into a dud though. I think this is just a hot stretch Jennings is having to start his NBA career, didn't just magically go from an average player in Europe to all-star in NBA.

If I just scored 55 points, that included a 29 point quarter...I'd probably think I'm better than a prime Jordan.

[QUOTE=Yuki Nagato]do you know that rubio and jennings are two completely DIFFERENT type of players?

It's like comparing iverson with kidd.[/QUOTE]
No its not, although Jennings is an explosive scorer, he's also a great passer, don't get these Iverson comparisons at all.

[QUOTE=Dresta]No its not, although Jennings is an explosive scorer, he's also a great passer, don't get these Iverson comparisons at all.[/QUOTE]

So how did AI get assists? I get it, his shot wasnt there so he passed it and luckily the time he passed it the guy scored. No playmaking ability for AI. Gotcha. Whether B.Jennings is AI or not? Who knows. But dont act like AI wasnt a damn good passer. Trying to figure out how this kid 8gms in his NBA career was a better passer than AI. That I dont get.

Jennings also took that statement back.

[QUOTE]"The Ricky Rubio situation I think I went a little overboard by calling him all hype," he said after his workout with the Wizards. "He's a great player. He has the most experience out of all of us in this draft. He's been playing pro ball since [he was] 15. So about him being overhyped, that was wrong of me.

"I have much respect for the dude. We did a photo shoot together for Slam Magazine, so I got to know him off the court. He's a real good guy."[/QUOTE]

So maybe you should take it back too.

We'll never really know how well Rubio's game will translate to the NBA. But I've seen some of his games and let me tell you, his court vision is up there. He's definitely a better PG than Jennings, while I think Jennings might be the better player. If he develops a jumpshot like Brandon does, he could be one of the best in the league.

OH no no no no no! BJ should give BJ to Ricky Rubio cause Rubio will kill jennings on the court any given days.

He seems to be a better player than Rubio judging from the recent three games.

[QUOTE=FULL CLIP]well, tonight he sorta proved it.[/QUOTE]

Wonder what Rubio thinks of Jennings now that he's the better PG.
