@Gerry Hamilton Any word on Austin Goosby in these summer workouts?

If that is true, perhaps the best way to describe it is that he could reach a higher peak than anyone to this point, but he will likely lack the longevity to be among the all time greats. I've said he's the best in the world now too, but much of the media talk about him being the best at 22 is hyperbolic. There are multiple all-time greats who had multiple titles at age 22, and who were the best players in the world at age 21 or 22.

If he truly can't stand up physically because of his long limbs, then all this talk about him being the greatest ever is silly. To be the greatest, you must be able to play over a long period of time and handle the rigors of the game. Even so, this is just a speed bump in the series unless the Spurs simply choke, which they haven't to this point. If Harper is the long term PG, then Fox needs to go too. Trade Fox and Castle for a SG and a physical PF that can protect Wemby. A "protected" Wemby can't be that great.

Castle's limitations wouldn't affect the outcome of the game as much if Wemby was tougher. Ship out Castle. Won't matter until Wemby develops an inside offensive game that takes advantage of his physical attributes.

All this would be a mute point if Wemby were just a little tougher.

I can think of more than a few defenders in NBA history that could lock down Brunson and light up the Knicks at the other end at the same time.

A 7'5" guy should not shoot 6-21. That's why all this talk about Wemby becoming the best player ever is way too early. He's the best player now. If doesn't stop thinking he needs to play like he's 6'5", he's not going to be the best player ever. Not even close. Still like the Spurs to control the series.

Eeny, Meeny, Miny, and Moe.

Noticed that the NY media has spent the last couple of days trying to convince the nation that the Knicks aren't really "underdogs" in this series. I'm sure the NBA would like to drum up TV ratings as much as they can after the disaster last year.

The Texas talk is at the end of this video starting at 1:101:35

Enjoyed listening to Liucci tell his brethren why he hated those that complain about the Aggies always coming up short.

Yeah, gonna need to listen to TexAgs for about ten minutes this morning. Aggies is actually short for agonizing lamenters.

Yes, but the judge can't blatantly render incorrect opinions without consequences. Again, legally speaking, this case is not related to any of the other state court cases about NCAA eligibility.

I previously read it was federal court, but I just looked it up and see it is a Texas state court. That could throw nutjobism into it for a while. Ultimately the result will be the same.
