Jason Kidd as a penetrator.. When he was on the Nets, everyone made it seem like he was a great driver.. Not the case!! He either hits open outside shots or gets his in transition.

Never Liked Mike D’Antoni.

Not really an offensive genius, doesn’t get the most of his role players, can’t coach defense.

What else is there?

Put him in a team with no Nash and there you have it, the ugliness that is the New York Knicks.

He should at least let Nate run amok.

Redd does not have a more “beautiful” stroke than Nowitzki? How can you classify a shooting motion of bringing the ball behind you head and slinging it at the hoop beautiful? Coming out of college, shooting was actually Redd’s biggest flaw. He shot 32 percent from threes and 65 percent from the line at Ohio State. He had the reputation of being an athletic two–and really, I know he’s never been thought of as very athletic, but I saw him in college and then recently saw a video of him during his freshman year and he was an ATHLETE, finishing in all kinds of acrobatic ways around the rim–who couldn’t shoot and didn’t look like he could shoot and that’s why he dropped into the second round. It’s a testament to his work ethic that he’s made himself into as good a shooter as he has become but to say he’s a pure shooter is wrong.

Other undeserved reps:

Dahntay Jones, not a stopper.
Joe Johnson, not an elite scorer, just a good one

With that ackward stroke, rhythm shooter not pure shooter is the best way to describe him.

Kobe = lockdown defender. = not true. Good yes, lock down no.

Domonique winning the 88′ dunk contest but being cheated because Jordan was at home. Watch it again. Nique does the same dunks over and over and over. I mean he literally does a windmill in every round, but somehow thought doing it from the front and the side were different. Jordan did cheese by jumping from the FT line twice, but thats the only dunk he repeated.

That Joe Johnson is underrated… I think he’s appropriately rated, just because your average person knows nothing about him, doesn’t make him underrated.

Peja immediately comes into mind. He was a pure shooter back in Sacramento, and he carried that label until he went to different teams. But it’s pure bullshit, since you see that bitch throw up more bricks than makes every single game.

Honorable mentions:

Q-Rich – ‘pure shooter’

Amare – ‘franchise player’

I watch most Bucks games, and Redd’s poor shooting has been a thorn in my side for a long while. Complete myth. And of course he bought into it. Mo Williams was the better shooter of the two when he was here. Fact is, Redd is pretty good at cutting to the hoop–I’m happy with him getting buckets that way. But those ill-advised, long-range clonk-babonk lefty horks are uuugly. Rhythm shooter, sure, but everyone is a rhythm shooter.

Other than that, is it still obligatory to say “former all-star” when talking about Jamal Magloire? Gary Payton’s bunk “glove” reputation cost us Ray Allen once upon a time. And I think if Ben Wallace never had a fro he would look a lot like Antonio Davis, without the longevity.
