SOMEbody’s not an Eagle Eye Cherry fan, I take it.

Will do. Can always use something new to try out during a new work week. Thanks!

I had not till this comment, but I just tried an album. Dug it. Thanks, Breadspin!

I’m one of those that can’t listen to songs with English lyrics without getting wild distracted, so it’s a lot of three piece piano jazz (Erroll Garner, Ahmad Jamal, etc.) or Afro-Caribbean stuff when I need to plow on through something tedious. And sometimes Enya at 8:30 in the morning because deep down, we all like…

“I think when you, you know, become 25 or, you know, in the 28 range, you tend to think about the game. And then when you, you know, get to be about 44, in that 44 range, you really figure it out. Like you spill some soda or something. Run the defense from Hoosiers. That sort of thing, right. These kids haven’t abused…

So is the argument, “as long as we don’t consider two MVP seasons that effectively changed the way the NBA plays defense, Paul is better?” Also, Paul’s older, so yeah, his track record is longer. This isn’t big news. Curry’s peak is better than Paul’s peak. Curry’s in his prime. Curry’s had more success, both against…

This is all fair and your name is Dick Fitzenbut which appeals to the 11 year old in me.

You’ve watched the NBA since 2013, right?

He’s point guard T-Mac.

A lot of this is very fair, though it occludes playoff success, which should probably matter when we’re talking all time greats. Paul’s biggest playoff moment was making a layup over Tim Duncan to get to the second round. I think that matters.

Yeah, I was replying to a commenter who intimated that Paul’s PER being better than Magic or Steph Curry meant he was a better player. He is not.

Enes Kanter is 16th in PER this year. Does that mean he’s better than Dame Lillard, Damian Lillard, Blake Griffin, Brad Beal, Jimmy Butler, and Karl Anthony Towns?

Magic, Isiah Thomas, Jason Kidd, Gary Payton (GP is possibly indefensible, I realize), John Stockton. Anything older than that (Oscar, for example), I can’t speak to and wouldn’t try.

Paul’s as good as any point guard in NBA history

You’re the finest kind, Marchman.

No, I actually just remember being alive when blogs were a big new thing and can promise you that Bill Simmons did not invent internet blogs.

You know Bill’s not gonna fuck you, right?

Bill Simmons did not create “blogs,” my dude.

take your star you monster
