im not disputing that. But the way 00 ran the floor, defended, and used screens to get shots vs bigger players just showed his basketball IQQuote:

Gotta give Cameron Burns a little love. Smoke knew how to snatch that ball, knew where the rim was and swung a nasty elbow... Sat by him and Tony Watts in a Microbiology class. I really liked him, but damn, Microbiology? Cam...
Kalpatrick Wells.. Always liked hearing that name..
Terry Lewis for sure.
Greg Carter.
Have nothing for Bullard after our final 4. Hope it was worth it.Quote:

I have met Marcus Bullard. That man didnt throw any game. He just had an off night on a big stage
To me instinct an IQ aren't the same. As for as IQ goes:
1: Doug Hartsfield
2: Whit Hughes
3: Eric Dampier
4: Brandon Vincent
5: Greg Carter
I know, I know.... but any list without Bailey Howell is worthless.
That you believe this is hilarious. Wilson was THE leader of those teams. It's not even disputed. Wilson was the only guy who could call out Bullard, because everyone else was afraid of Bullard.Quote:

Wrong. You forgot about Bailey Howell. Plus, as far as BB IQ, seems like everyone either doesn't know about or forgot about the teams in the late 50s and 60s.Quote:

Only reason I don't believe him is that it's hard to reconcile caring about winning that much with throwing away your career doing thug stuff.Quote:
