He is a taller version of Nate.

Why can't JR be a more versatile, gifted and defensively-rugged and raw version of jeremy lin?

If the Beautiful Mind, Lin, dropped 67 points in two games (or displayed a crossover dribble with extra mustard) there would be a coronation.

Insipient Alzheimers is at terrible thing.

No coronations may be scheduled until after a Knick is traded or signed by another, more youthful, properly built, properly run, better dressed, fiscally brilliant franchise. In a better conference or division, far far away...

Harden is a superstar because he shoots 2's at a 5% better clip than the shithole bum we have scoring 67 points in two games.

JR is Big Nate because he plays for this stupid, insipidly-owned and starphucqued cluster dump we are forced to post about.
When Nate continues to work out after a few years away and wins a POTM or POTW, he's the way we should have gone.

I will wait quietly with confetti for the next game Jeremy Dearest logs a triple double. Or DLee gets a double double and a deflection. Or Jamal Crawford hits the open man.

BEAT THE SCATS!

Both nate and JR have incredible talent and both don't have long term contracts. Good comparision.

Lin has 25mil deal.

I don't remember Harden being proclaimed a savior or worshipped as one. He is only 23.

Agree with Nate Robinson hes a 5mm $ player playing for 1mm and he did it to himself. But make no mistake--Nate is a no joke player in fact if we lose JR Smith Nate should be one player we look at. He can replace JR but he can ball and play PG.

Nate has been more of a bonehead than JR, on-court wise. Never seen or heard about JR shooting at the wrong basket. Yet. JR has meant much more to the Knicks in a comparable amount of time, IMHO. Although JR does not have any "Dunk Competition" patches on his warm up jacket.

Sorry about the Jesus Harden mention, was referring to the JR = James Harden thread. Insipient Alzheimers/self-inflicted. I do believe Mr. Harden is being proclaimed as a franchise player in comparison to our Melo-sub-lite.

JR is paid almost 3x what nate is getting. JR was a value signing because of all we know. Dude had issues with NOLA and known immature to pout.

Your Melo-Sensitive. Melo will create his own knick legacy in time, or not.

The guy loves it here, and has shown improvement in his time here.

I root for him more than any other Knick. And what a great story it will be if he plays a key role in a New York championship.

"J.R. is doing amazing, jumping from the bench, giving us so many solutions on offense and defense, rebounding," - Pablo Prigioni

Is there any such thing as a quiet 30?

JR has the same athletic ability and basketball skill set as Kobe Bryant.

Thanks to Mike Woodson, Smith is just now learning how to think like a basketball player.

So, yeah, you're probably right that he'd score 20 points if he started!

Wrong.

What? You're taking some quote out of context from an old thread just to tell me that I'm wrong? You're getting pretty desperate.
We were talking about him *averaging* 20 PPG for a full season, not having a brief stretch of games. I would have readily granted that he'll have periodic stretches of awesome play if you had asked me that in the previous thread.

You and Briggs are trying very hard to find old comments by me, take them out of context, and prove me wrong. I am flattered!

A month ago, Smith had a chance to beat Oklahoma City at the Garden, but his buzzer-beater from the corner missed in a one-point loss. Smith was criticized for not driving the ball. Since then he has been a driving machine.

Kobe Bryant can kick rocks.
