But, considering that davis had one of the BEST seasons ever by a 20 year old player, considering that he had a better second year than players like garnett or duncan (and it's all quantifiable, you don't need faith to believe it true) it's somewhat annoying to have someone saying he's not talented enough and such. If he doesn't become an inch better he's still one of the better 4s out there...NOW, not in 5-6 years.
I think most people are annoyed because he makes every kind of excuse for players who are, right now, busts (like that utah pg, can't recall his name...bork or something like that) or who wants to argue that a player who has a single good quality (rebounding, and that also is quantifiable) is better than davis. I mean, if he said Nah, me, i only like lebron, durant, dirk and duncan, no way davis is better than those; heck, it's perfectly understandable. When someone says that drummond is better than davis or has more talent (nicely enough, when everything else fails, the talent card is always drawn), after a while, well, it starts irking people. Like going to a colts board and saying that matt flynn is more talented than andrew luck. How many people do you expect to argue something like that, especially coming from a guy who is extremely famous for ALWAYS being the contrarian on this board?
I honestly don't see any point in arguing with him. Would you go argue about religion with someone from the IS? Kinda pointless no? I don't even think he's a troll, i simply think he made his bed and now he has to lie in it. If he wants to believe davis is just another player and that drummond is the saviour of the universe, heck, people centuries ago believed the earth was flat. Not that many years ago people thought jawalrus russell would be a franchise changer. I'll just sit back with a bit of pizza and enjoy people still trying to bandy words with him, since there is always someone falling for it anyway.
