Yo y'all remember when the NO Hornets existed, and then changed their name to the Pelicans for some unfathomable reason?
Sup with that?

The owner wanted to change the name to something more local. He originally wanted to change it to the Jazz but Utah refused because of their proud tradition of mormon Jazz music, so New Orleans decided on the Pelicans to honor the Louisiana state bird, the brown pelican.

I mean I guess that makes sense. It just seems like kind of a downgrade. Like if the Detroit Lions changed their name to the Salamanders.

Well, they sure as hell have been playing more like Salamanders than Lions. For like the past 60 years.

They changed their name for good reason. I think if they changed their name to The New Orleans Crew (or however you spell the Mardi Gras stuff) would have been cooler. Also, Anthony Davis is FILTHY. That guy is going to be a superstar.

I'd argue he already is

Fair. I meant more along the lines of he is going to be better than Lebron. Not quite Kobe or MJ status though.

Bold statement.

Anthony Davis will be better than Lebron by the time he is done. He has the handles of a point guard, but he is hard enough to play center and power forward. He can shot long shots, and play post. The guy is an all star (pun intended).

As a Kobe fan, I don't necessarily disagree with you. But players these days are judged on their amount of rings. Davis ain't getting any of those anytime soon.

I'm a Kobe fan too, I think Kobe is better than Lebron by far. I think Davis in the end will accomplish more than Lebron. He will get a team around him (with no injuries) soon enough. It may or may not be in Nola though.

So you're a Hawks/Kobe fan? There seems to be a lot of those.

[fgadmin]

I'm a Hawks fan, but at the same time Basketball is a player's league. I think Kobe was focking awesome, and one of the greats. I also have mad respect for Barkley (and I'm a bama fan).

Barkley and Marino. Two of the greatest that never won a ship. I get the whole players league thing, but I could never love anybody unless they're on my team. I was rooting pretty hard for Steph last year tho, and he let me down big time.

I rooted for Lebron for the first time because I bet on Cleveland winning the championship. At a certain point you have to accept your team won't win. You cheer for them, but you gotta root for a player you respect to enjoy the game.

I indersdutand what you're saying. It's just impossible for me to do that as a Laker fan. Because they have always been contenders, up until these last atrocious few years.

I didn't grow up during the Wilkins era, so I haven't had hopes of anything in a while. I root for my team always, but at the same time I pick a player to root for not on my team. Keeps things interesting.

I dunno, Lebron is without a doubt one of the goats. Easily on par with Kobe or MJ. The only reason he doesn't have as many points as them is because he actually passes the ball and gets assists.

vjfoogie — 9 years ago(November 04, 2016 07:39 PM)

Okay oneI don't care about the points stat. Melo scores a ton of points but he will never win a championship because he sucks as an all around player. I would NEVER want him on my team. Also, Lebron is also NOT on the level of Kobe or MJ. Anthony Davis will be better than Lebron. The guy is all around going to be better. I don't think he is smarter in basketball terms, but he has more talent.
