Cant play defense but has a great offensive post game. Doesnt get a lot of love, but hes definitely one of the top scoring centers in the game.

Al reminds me a lot of Zach Randolph. Great post game, tough rebounder, but too slow to defend well and sometimes trusts his talent too much taking dumb looks.

It's not just that he's a bad defender, he's so bad that there are times that Utah looks better with him on the bench. He's also one of the worst post passers in the league.

The Jazz still stole him from us though.

Any of this makes him different from Zach, how?

Kosta Koufos sighting

It doesn't, I didn't quote you.

I will say that Z-Bo's offensive game is more face-up oriented and Al relies more on back to the basket moves.

Zach Randolph is a much better rebounder, too. Jefferson's post game is incredible, but like yo said, he's a revolving door on defense. He's also never really been a winner. Gotta wonder how he'd stack up if he played on a contender, and whether he can be your go to guy, which i don't think he can. He's been a perennial loser his whole career, from Boston to Minny to Utah.

Brodeur · 10-13-2012, 04:23 PM

Al isn't very efficient either. I mean he's not Cousins bad, but he needs to work on that a bit. Also, Koufos is a very useful player woot, Minnesota shouldn't have let him go.

Pekovic > Koufos

Brodeur · 10-13-2012, 04:43 PM

Doesn't mean he can't be a very useful backup center.

Wootylicous · 10-13-2012, 04:48 PM

Probably but it's not like they need him right now anyway.

yo123 · 10-13-2012, 04:53 PM

Koufos was ****** horrible with the Wolves. I don't blame them for letting him go at all.

Brodeur · 10-13-2012, 04:54 PM

Ah fine. When it comes down to Denver/Minnesota/Oklahoma City/San Antonio in the West, you will see how Koufos dominates.

Wootylicous · 10-13-2012, 04:56 PM

Koufos and dominate in the same sentence made me chuckle.

MetSox17 · 10-13-2012, 06:07 PM

Smush on playing with Kobe. I'm a huge Kobe fan but damn, this is pretty ****** of him to say.

Quote:

"Midway through the first season, I tried to at least have a conversation with Kobe Bryant — he is my teammate, he is a co-worker of mine, I see his face every day I go in to work — and I tried to talk with him about football. He tells me I can't talk to him. He tells me I need more accolades under my belt before I come talk to him. He was dead serious. [...]

"We're teammates, we talk basketball on the court. [Our talks were] about getting him the ball pretty much."

Raiderz4Life · 10-13-2012, 06:10 PM

I wouldn't be surprised if Kobe did say that to him but its also Smush Parker....dude has talked so much **** as well wouldn't surprise me if he was just talking out of his ass either.

SickwithIt1010 · 10-13-2012, 06:16 PM

Smush talked **** about Kobe while they were playing, so this guy can get ******.

...the fact that this hack's name is still being talked about is unbelievable.

Brodeur · 10-13-2012, 06:18 PM

It's astonishing how little I care about Smush Parker.

Exactly, I cant believe his name still comes up.

MetSox17 · 10-13-2012, 06:20 PM

I don't think anyone gives two shits about Smush Parker, i just like reading stuff like this that you don't normally hear about.

Brodeur · 10-13-2012, 06:24 PM

Kobe Bryant is an egotistical asshole with a bad publicist. He needs to get the one that MJ had.

Kobe has shown in the last couple years that he could care less what he says, or is quoted saying.

scottyboy · 10-13-2012, 06:35 PM
