He won't score 25 points in a game in this entire career.

Truth be known, we're actually the same poster. I use my "sirkickyass" persona when I'm feeling like a smug know-it-all asshat, and switch back to "bordelais7" when I really DO know what I'm talking about.

Ya know, Kicky, I didn't never say they was a poll, with a sticky on it, on top of the board for months, posin the question "Will Deron ever score 25 points in a game in his career?" and that a substantial percent of the posters voted "no." Then again, even if that's what happened, who's to say you would recall it?

Yeah, Eric, and not necessarily didn't seriously mean it either, eh? There were a fair number of posters who maintained that Williams wouldn't last 5 years in the league. Many more declared that his career would be mediocre at best. They coulda all just been funnin, of course, but they sho nuff didn't present it that way. Others thought the Jazz made a wise choice. It wasn't all one or the other.
Ok. We'll ask Hopper again:
Hopper. Do you believe that when these posters made these statements they actually meant them? i.e. That when they said "Deron will never score 25 points in a game" they in fact meant that statement literally.*
* Obviously I'm not admitting such statements were actually made. The question is designed merely to determine the correct interpretation of your original post.
EDIT: It appears that aint addressed this issue immediately prior to this post. Does that change your opinion of the issue OB? Does that make whether or not these things were actually said more "relevant" to your mind?

I aint no mind reader, Kicky, and I didn't address this question in a prior post. As with all Jazz draftees that I've seen discussed, Williams was dismissed as unworthy by some. It's Jazzfanz, eh? Ya know, the crowd that booed John Stockton's draft announcement?
Now we all know my recollection isn't perfect but I feel pretty comfortable saying that John Stockton was drafted well prior to the establishment of jazzfanz.

I actually think that many of the attempts to marginalize Williams and his potential were probably a product of the "scorn" those pimping for someone else felt when the Jazz didn't take their recommendations. Many of them seemed axnious to prove they were right all along, and if that meant minimizin Deron's talent, fine, so long as it tended to make them look smart. That's just a hunch, tho. But, as good ole Willy Shakespeare done said: "Hell, it aint got no kinda fury like a bitch scorned."

Heh, Kicky, nice try. Jazz fanz are Jazz fanz, whether this particular board ever existed or not.
Next time I'll put a wink next to that for you.
How can a thread of this magnitude not have a post by CJ or Saltydawg? It is almost inconceivable. Hopper has solved the economic question on everybody's mind...how can somebody possibly pass the time while receiving 99 weeks of unemployment? Well of course besides licking his own groin.

Kicky and Bordy was moseyin down the street and seen a dawg layin there next to the curb doin dat once, eh, Pearl? Then it kinda wents like this here:
Bordy: I wish I could do that!
Kicky: Why doncha pet him? Mebbe he'll letcha!
Yeah, I think the only one worse at this draft thing is me.
On the bright side, at least Jarrett Jack is still in the league.

Who's worse here? Hopper for his goading once again or Kicky and Co. for taking the bait? Once again.

Yeah, right, eh? Kicky is always the instigator in these things. He thrives on it, and is probably lookin for an excuse to ban me. I didn't ask him to come into this thread. I didn't mention him. But he busts in demandin names and tryin to imply I'm a liiar. Same ole, same ole, ya know?
And, of course, if I in any way resist or dispute his false insinuations, then, accordin to the puppy dawg pack, I'm "baitin" him, causin trouble, and bein unreasonable. If he gits pissed because I don't kiss his ***, I'm likely to get yet another infraction instigated by him. If I resist that, I'm whinin. I swear summa ya musta spent yo life eatin crap dished out by "authority," never said nuthin in return except "Yess, Massa," and then learned to like it.
Or, more likely, want to justify your miserable cowardice and docility by pretending it's the "right" thing to do. Their attitude: "Just eat crap and LIKE it, willya! I do."

I'm sad I missed this thread. But then I never really miss any aint thread. Substitute "All kinds of people said Deron would never score 25 points in a game" for "Ima victim and lemme tellya why," tack on 25 pages of rhetorical vortex, and a final "sho nuff" post by Custer bleeding to death and I'm pretty sure I've seen this movie before.
