The player that comes to mind the most is Kevin Love. Dude plays like a shooting guard and takes 6-7 three's a game

Yeah he's got a good shot but it makes me cringe watching him roam on the perimeter like he's Robert Horry or something. Get in the paint man!

CavsFTW staying salty. Dude still mad at anything Bron does.

I've never seen someone this butthurt. Tries to cover it up acting like he doesn't care too. lol...

One of the worst cases of butthurt I've seen on here.

dis nignag looks like a total retard in the post so i understand he uses the only skill he has which is shooting over people. hes pretty damn good at that

Agreed, dominate the post and the paint and you are on your way to victory. If your big men constantly spend time on the perimeter and away from the basket you are giving up a huge advantage.

Does Kareem hate him or something? The best non US-players according to KAJ are the Gasol brothers, Duncan, Tony Parker and Manu. Nowitzki? Stay in the post, big fella! There was an interview with KAJ in 2010 where he said this about the Mavs:

The most important key player, even more than Dirk Nowitzki is Jason Kidd with his excellent leadership.

Really?

And he's dead wrong about NBA teams shooting three pointers at a bad percentage. The average is at 35.8% right now, making it more efficient than 2pt attempts, which are at 48%. Kareem is one of the greatest ever, but some parts of that interview are total nonsense.

Everytime I hear an interview of Kareem he sounds extremely bitter.
And the criticism he's making is the typical sort of stuff you hear from old people who don't watch the game and just make assumptions. Some of the things he's saying were maybe true in the early 00s, but the game has evolved.
