We Never Had A Chance

When this is what they're saying about you... well, you don't go back for a sophomore season.

One more year?

Um, no.

Good luck, Kevin.

Damn, that's some high praise

Considering Wade already has a ring and a Finals MVP.

If Memphis drafts KD I will have to give strong consideration to relocationg to Tenn to for the chance to watch VY and KD in person all the time.

Who's coming with me?

Didn't even think about that

But, yeah, I'd consider moving to Nashville.

If given the #1 pick, they will draft Oden. They already have a guy who plays KD's position - Rudy Gay. They might trade Pau Gasol in the off-season, but if they don't, a front court of Oden, Gasol, and Gay is pretty damn sexy.

VY : Football :: KD : Basketball

but

But if Memphis drafts him what do you think the odds of him actually sticking around past three years would be?

Who knows?

KD's a loyal dude. Maybe he'll like Memphis. Beale Street is damn fun...

please...

Beale Street gets old as hell. Kevin had a reason to be loyal to the Horns, but the highlights of Memphis don't hold a candle to Austin.

When does football start again?

one thing

One thing that pops out at me in that top five is that Durant is the one who really can't impose himself on the opponent, physically. He makes up for it with his length, but I'll be interested to see how much his narrow frame limits his ceiling.

if Yao Ming can

fill out his frame in the NBA, I don't think KD is going to have any trouble getting big. Just a matter of time. He is going to be a beast.

Horns up, Okies Down.

maybe off topic but.....

Wade > LeBron??? I know he has a ring, but you can't be serious.

Have you watched Lebron this year?

Also, Wade seems to have another gear for the playoffs. Wade is capable of taking over games in the fourth quarter. Lebron seems to settle for jump shots because his FTs are so bad and he does not want to get fouled. I would take Wade over Lebron.
