Rudy Fernandez on Dwight Howard Gif

[QUOTE=JordanL]Dude, what the fu[i]c[/i]k is your problem. Even when a thread is not about the Blazers, you continually make it about how overrated you think the Blazers are.

Don't use your irrational hatred for the Blazers as a way to take away from Rudy's talent/accomplishment. He's a damn fine player no matter where he's playing.[/QUOTE]
:oldlol: You're either insane or just waking up from a hang over because no place have I bad mouthed the Blazers. Only time I called the Blazers over-rated was when people start touting them as "next" because of a bunch of guys [I](Greg Oden, Rudy Fernandez, and Jerryd Bayless)[/I] who NEVER stepped foot on a NBA court. All I've done in this thread is speak on the brewing love affair with Fernandez.

Seriously, un-bunch you panties and actually read what was typed. No place on here have I been "anti-Blazer".

Kobe set him up though. That was sick dunk.

Funny how some guys go off like fricking fireworks if people somehow [I]dare[/I] to criticise their heroes, be it individual players or (more uncommon) teams.

Hey folks, your mancrushes are grown up adults. They could defend themselves if they gave a rat's ass about what other people say about them. They don't need underage kids stepping up for them on internet boards.
And most of all... they wouldn't ever lift a finger to aid you in any way whatsoever. Heck, they probably wouldn't even stop to give you the time of day. So get your collective heads out of your ass and engage in grown-up conversation instead of getting out your e-balls every time you think someone disrespects the guy of your dreams.

[QUOTE=stewen12]Rudy Fernanadez is the biggest actor. He just runs directly into people try to draw the foul and then falls. The Best Dunk was Wang ZHi ZHi on Lebron or Dwight[/QUOTE]

Can you give me a link to this?

[QUOTE=fiad06]Dwight sucks because Rudy dunked while he was ahead of him? Dwight would of blocked the **** out of that ball if Rudy diddnt push Dwights arm out before he dunked.

There was no way in hell Rudy could of dunked that if Dwight was infront of him.[/QUOTE]

Ahh... there is no way he would even try to dunk over Howard if Howard had position- he is probably too intelligent to make a direct frontal attack on a superior foe with a height advantage. (Check out [I]The Art of War[/I], by Sun Tzu)

There is no shame in what happened to Howard on that play- you are the guys who make the in "your face" "posterized" dunks more important than they are, and see them as some kind of absolute determiner for deciding who the best players are.

Fernandez is going to be a nice complimentary player on a team that [I]could[/I] be great at some point. He rose to the occasion in a big game on a world stage, and made the most spectacular shot in the Olympics this year. Doesn't mean he will be a superstar, but you have to give the guy some credit for coming up big when it counted.

Bynum>>>Howard. First of all, Bynum is a legit 7'1", while Howard is about 6'10" at best. Secondly, Bynum has the GOAT post player as a mentor and has pulled out many varied moves, Kareem has stated he only used about 10% of the moves he knows in game. All Bynum needs to learn is counters and he will be unstoppable on O. Secondly, Bynum destroys undersized guys like Amare and Dwight Howard like it's nobody's business everytime he goes up against them.

Howard still has no semblance of a back to the basket game. His footwork is incredibly poor. He gets by on strength and athleticism alone, and the FIBA game exposed him for what he is.

Awesome play.


Kobe blew it on that one. Props to Howard for even trying to block that.


What's funny is after the play, on the free line, it looked like Kobe was trying to blame Howard, haha.

When? By who???:confusedshrug:

:banghead: It was Yi Jianlian on a putback against Carmelo Anthony...

Wang Zhizhi is a heavy set center who couldn't dunk on anyone over 6'7'' (only had 4 points against USA all FT's)

[QUOTE=Da KO King]:lol [B]at the "best player in europe" comment.[/B]

Rudy Fernandez was a taken #24 overall by Phoenix and then traded to Portland in 2007. Not a peep was heard about Fernandez until this past draft when everyone hopped on Pritchard's sack because he "tricked" the league into "allowing" Jerryd Bayless to fall into his lap. After that people began talking about Fernandez as though he was going to be a NBA all star.


EDIT: apparently the rolleyes icon doesn't work.[/QUOTE]

he was certainly among the best overall, and for sure the best young player. he'd go much higher if he was in this year's draft.

Dear Kobe Bryant,

I am disappointed in you in some aspect of the games. Especially letting the .gif of Dwight Howard getting dunked on being made.

Always enjoy this kind of post, especially when they go after mancrush crowd.

Have not been around here long, but about 75% of the posts and a good % of threads, are ruined by the kind of people you are going after here.


[I]Could it be, though, that players do care about what is being said about them[/I]. Not from any specific internet board, but from friends who tell them things they hear to see on the internet, or comments they hear other players or writers make in the media? I do know that some players use this type of thing as motivation. Dwayne Wade seems to be doing that now. Jordan would always use comments by other players as motivation.

Just a thought.

[QUOTE=Da KO King]The responses in this thread lead me to call this play the most over-rated thing of the entire Olympics.

Rudy Fernandez has a full step and a half on Dwight Howard. Howard jumped in hopes that Fernandez would either go for a layup or **** it back before slamming it. Fernandez did neither leaving Howard with absolutely no chance at making a play.

Second point, Fernandez is NOT guaranteed to be a good NBA player. Has the tools needed to be quality but it is not a lock to happen.[/QUOTE]

Because its against Team USA people add extra mayo and cheese on it.

[QUOTE=gpfanz]it doesnt seem right because he broke Kobe n co ankles? :roll:

i hope ur satisfied with Ricky Rubio's ankle breakers thou :applause:[/QUOTE]
Rubio? When did he come in here? I'm talking about Fernandez. Kobe? At what point was he in play. It was broken play in which Rudy capitalized on. I said Great dunk, did you read that?

I'm talking about his game. Sorry if I offended your lover.

One terrible mistake by Kobe and now he's getting attacked. Sad. Despite him completely destroying Navarro in the first few mins in the game and then forcing him to sit out due to "fatigue". Then, he gets switched on Rudy and plays GREAT D on him except for that one play where he try to sneak from behind. I won't even mention what the MVP did on the offensive side.
