Texas is the proud home of a great concentration of ignorant blowhards.
This thread may as well be about creationism or how much he hates mexicans.

Yeah, I figured. We Texans get a bad rap.

They look better than the Penn St. athletic department right now.
Lifetime awards or not, i don't care, here i give you the ones i could remember quickly, not even counting how many are them.
Duncan, Garnett, Nowitzki, Griffin, Howard, B.Lopez, Lamarcus, Randolph, Marc Gasol, Pau Gasol, Bynum, Bosh, Brand, Al Horford, Bogut, Amare, Kevin Love
These are the once whom i think are better than Big Al for sure. Well if you wanna let go Duncan, it is ok, since he is too old, but the other ones are better imo.
Also you can argue who is better, with these guys, Bargnani, Nene, Noah,maybe a couple more that i don't remember or Monroe, Cousins(as potential)
So the truth is, Big Al is a good big man, but not among the elite class of players in this league. That's what i argue, i don't say he is bad, i just say he is not as good as people exaggarate here, if he wasn't under Jazz uniform, i wonder if anyone would classify him as a top 15 big man in the league
P.S. Yes Boozer sucks, so i didn't even mention his name, but he is getting paid a lot, so i guess Big Al isn't the only player who gets paid more than he deserves, i guess in the league, if you are a big man, and ure 20 10 guy, you get paid a lot even if you have many flaws in the game

When i was kid only think i know about Texas was that somehow it was related to the old cowboy movies. Thanks god now at least i know which cities are there.
So i am not as ignorant as you think, but just curious, do you even know where Lithuania is (since its your new hero's country)? Without looking at the google map

News flash Sepanol, but every player you mentioned has one or more flaws Duncan is old, and has never been a good foul shooter, Garnett again old and on his last legs quite literally, he can't stay healthy, Nowitzki doesn't play defense, Griffins game on offense is one dimensional no outside game to speak of bad foul shooter, Howard same as Griffin, Lopez is slow un athletic, and quite possibly the worst rebounder ever, Lamarcus is soft relies too much on the jump shot, Randolph has a brain the size of a peanut, anyways I could go on but don't want to. There's only 6 or 7 guys you listed I'd take over big Al, so even you made all our points, that Big Al is paid the going rate for a 20 10 big.
Man we are talking about Duncan, arguably the best PF-C of last 10 years. Garnett, Nowitzki, would you even consider Big Al on the same line with these guys?
Randolph did hell of a job last year in playoffs. Of course everyone has flaws, but defense isn't the only flaw Big Al has, he seems like he has potential but he is never gonna reach his potential. If he had half basketball iq and mentality as Millsap, he would be a great player, but unfortunately it is not.
So no point for argument, we see things quite different. I counted you around 15-20 players better than Big Al but you don't agree,you claimed only 6-7 are better even neglecting the best big men in the league. So that's your opinion, i disagree but let's finish the argument, lets not make zerol more angry here
