It's good to see you again, Big Al

[doubledribble]

Right now he looks like Big Al.

Yep.

By the way, you can look up Jefferson's stats when he was 21-22 - he was an offensive rebounding beast as well back then: second in the league in 2007-8. Young bigs tend to be good on the offensive glass in the year when they are first given big minutes: remember Millsap?

It is just that the physical tools that Kanter has (not very tall or long, but strong; good coordination, but unimpressive leaper; slow; not a great natural passer) limit what he can do. Kanter can never play like Marc Gasol, Howard, Nowitzki, Cousins or Chandler. He is a big with the physical gifts of Jefferson/Randolf, so it is no coincidence that he consciously modeled his game on Al's.

Anyway, if you check the Jefferson's stats for his first year of playing major minutes in Boston they look awfully similar to Kanter's.

Kanter should definitely be crucified for producing as well as he is in his FIRST TIME PLAYING SIGNIFICANT BASKETBALL MINUTES IN HIS LIFE while being out of rhythm and out of shape because of an injury that took 6 months to recover from and prevented him from doing - from what I understand - anything involving basketball in that time.

 

[doubledribble]

Kanter is in no way Al.

...He can hit 3's...Check yourself before you wreck yourself.

Dude, Kanter made one three-pointer in his 3 years in the NBA. One.

 

[Sexual Favors]

Dude, Kanter made one three-pointer in his 3 years in the NBA. One.

To my knowledge, he's only taken one--and made it.

There are tons of videos illustrating his outside touch, but it is true it has only happened once in a game. It seems like he's been forbidden from going out there thus far. I'm convinced it is his secret weapon that he'll unleash like the brown noise, and JazzFanz will crap their pants.

Check yourself before you wreck yourself.

I love this!

 

[Revolution 9]

Ive seen a lot more than 3 games of Big Sal. I know what he can, and can't do for a team.

i'm thankful every day he is gone

 

[CAKAR]

Wait, wait... So you're saying... Enes Kanter is really Bi Gal?

To Foye, 8 to play. drive draws a double, BIIIG-AEEEAAAAAL, GOOOOOT IIIIT. AL JEFFERSON FROM DOWN TOWN. Never DIE attitude...

To be like BIG-AAAAL is awesome

 

[Stoked]

Y'all should probably check into a few of Kanter's defensive stats before crowning him Godzilla of the paint. He's actually not that great a defender (yet).

Didn't say he was. Perhaps you should try to stop reading things that are not there.

Yes but look who they are comparing him to.
