LOL...touches is an excuse. I've believed to be the first time he used that excuse when LB wanted to short his minutes some. The truth is that someone taught him that he can shoot his way out of anything, and by doing so he'll be Great. And that is true, unfortunately the cost to your team's ability to consistently compete(especially with any coach with less than 700 wins coaching him) is a ferocious trade off.Originally Posted by Higherwarrior
Also let me also say his skills look just fine to me, he just doesn't fit. I believe he's still a great scorer and star in this league, but never as a Piston. My hope was that he'd see how good we were w/o him and his ego would slim down a lil', but apparently wasn't enough to change what he spent double digit years building in his mind.
I'm sorry but incapable? No he doesnt get that out, he's unwilling, he's more than capable. He was when we played cleveland, But something offset that when he came out in the 4th quarter, his ego got the best of him. The shitball is rolling fast down ever since.it baffles me to think that people are viewing him as 'selfish' simply because he is incapable of playing a reserve role. he tried and he failed at it-
