AND HE DID IT IN FEBRUARY.

AFTER HE LEFT THE GAME WITH A SPRAINED ANKLE.

I'm a bit surprised- wonder if his dad says anything to him.

Game was not over, by the way- he should have been in his team huddle talking about how they were going to defend OKC's final shot.

Oscar Robertson was right about one thing though...why does OKC not start covering Curry at half court? Don't know who the defender was, but he had dropped back to the 3 point line and was waiting for Curry until he realized that Curry was going to take the long 3.

Somebody should have been dogging Curry as soon as he got the ball

What was up with drafting Jordan Hill? Jennings was the guy there. I always felt that D'Antoni didn't want to deal with Jennings needing mentoring and structure. How does a guy that relies on point guards not draft Jennings when he has Duhon running the point. I still wonder where the Knicks would be if they drafted Bropez over Gallo and Jennings over Hill.

I wasn't a Jennings fan...

Holiday, Teague, and Lawson were also available, as was Collison. You could have also traded out of 8 and gotten one of those guys. Could have also taken DeRozan.

I wasn't a Jennings fan...

Was Derozan drafted after Hill? I know Holiday went 18,19. Jennings was on a radio show right before the draft and sounded really immature. I think that hurt him and might have caused the Knicks not to draft him. Immature with character issues and needing mentoring didn't fit with what the coach was looking for. However, Hill is the guy that has had trouble staying out of trouble. Choking, driving etc. I was not a fan of D'Antoni.

Strange pick...no doubt about it. Was it Walsh or MDA, though?

I was interested in Holiday, who was very young physically-not sure MDA would have liked his outside shot at the time. Pretty sure we asked him in twice for workouts.

And yup...Hill turned out to be guy with some questionable character- never really improved as a player, either, which is more upsetting for me.

Not a kid-he's going to be 28 in about 2 weeks...he's also the reigning MVP, and he did his celebration...only seemed to go a bit overboard, IMO.

"I look at games today, and they'll start a defense at the foul line. When I played, they were picking you up when you got the ball inbounds. So it's a different strategy about playing defense."

"There have been some great shooters in the past. ... But here again, when I played years ago, if you shot a shot outside and hit it, the next time I'm going to be up on top of you. I'm going to pressure you with three-quarters, half-court defense. But now they don't do that. These coaches do not understand the game of basketball, as far as I'm concerned."

Amazing shot, and his initial celebration was fine...but doing a little dance about 20+ seconds after the shot was a bit too much...and he did it in front of a ref. Almost a bit like taunting, IMO.

he's an amazing player. the game was over. the refs have to keep their composure on the court and remain neutral in front of players teams and public. they were just as awed as anyone else. how could they not be?
