they are both black and built like Kate Moss, but thats about it. Reggie has established himself as one of the best pure shooters in NBA history. Jamal is streaky at best there, but he's a legit combo guard. He doesnt run an offense well, but he's got PG skills and one of the best handles in the NBA. He's going to be some offensive player.
Yeah, that's what I get listening to my girl friend. But, I was surprised at how well he shoots, at least when he's rolling. I was expecting more drives and weird layups. I do like the handle and passing though. And the defense has been better than advertised.
The only problem is, I think the worst matchup in the league for the Knicks and Jamal and Ariza in particular is the Boston Celtics. Between Davis, Allen and Pierce there's so many big guards who can overpower them...Boston will be a major threat to win the division this year. It's going to be hard to beat them, head-to-head and for the Atlantic crown.
