In some ways, he reminds me of Nate Robinson... sure he high-enery, but what about that shoot-first attitude...I just hate when he takes those shots early in the clock, or when as the point guard he takes a shot immediately...
Geez, someone should tell him he's a rookie. Besides, it's not like he's a good shooter, he's a terrible shooter. That airball 3 in the last game was just ugly.
He should stick with defense, and take shots when he's open...
I usually love to root for rookies, but so far this season, I have to say I hate what that guy does...
FrenchKnicks - what game are you watching?
Nate Robinson? Are you freakin' kidding me?
Nate never managed the floor as Shumpert demonstrated last night. In addition, Shumpert plays UNDER CONTROL. Did you watch him carefully position players BEFORE he ran a play? Shumpert is NOTHING like Nate. What are you basing your opinion on, other than some missed shots or a personal bias against guys with muscles?
Besides, Shumpert is NOT a terrible shooter. 4-11 for a player shooting with an injured leg? C'mon Son! Opinion is one thing. Being arbitrary is another.
You hate what he does because he missed some shots?
Please.
