"I'm taking the basketball players over the athletes"

[avid1010]

Wow.....exactly!  Well said Mr. Kenny Smith.

Give me some traditionals every day of the week....traditional basketball players!

to link "traditionals" to basketball players is just stupid, and in the WI vs KY we saw WI with better basketball players get beat by KY with better athletes.  WI played the best game it could possibly play (hit a ton of 3's at a high percentage and didn't miss many FT's), while KY made more mistakes, failed to attack the rim for periods of time, etc. and still won.

when kenny smith talked about basketball players he was talking about napier and boatwright...hardly what you've described as "traditionals."  and when you listen to billy donovan talk about his team, he flat out says he got more out of this years talent then he even thought he could.  so kenny was struggling to make a point, and his versio of basketball players don't compare to your version of traditionals.  maybe you misinformed on FOX news?

Make out a check.

I have two kids in Catholic school, so my life savings is about $12. I might as well send cash.

Traditionals are basketball players.  I have no idea what your definition of traditionals is, but clearly not the same as mine.

You may want to watch Kenny Smith again, clearly you missed what he was saying.

Chico's ... I would give you my life savings if you could actually produce evidence that you've been told "Only white people can be wrong."

Repeat after me: "I am not a victim. I am not a victim. I am not a victim."

About race....I'd be happy to.  What kind of evidence, merely someone saying it on a national television program?  Name the parameters.  And by the way, there is an entire victimhood out there that says it is impossible for a "minority" to be racist.  Happy to provide you those as well.

The point is that good, solid, traditional basketball players that know how to shoot, defend, high basketball IQ can be extremely successful. 

[MikeDeanesDarkGlasses]

So this is how MUScoop acts when MU isn't playing?  We're overcome with the debate on the rules on how to adopt "traditional players" into our lexicon? 

I'd rather have a debate on what tastes better..... the twinkie or the hostess cupcake.

Give me the athlete. Everyday all day.

We just hired the wrong coach then....he's going to preach basketball smarts, good shooters, fundamentals, etc.

WE HIRED BO??!!??

No, Marquette is incapable of hiring established, successful high major coaches from other programs....silly Air Force dude.  Come on now.

Athletic guys are capable of basketball smarts, good shooters, fundamentals, etc., too.

No one ever said differently.  The perfect world is getting someone that can do both....kind of like what Duke has been able to do.

Unfortunately, that hasn't always been the case here at MU where basketball IQ in some years has been mind blowing.

Athlete any day of the week for me.

I'd take Bird over any "athlete" in history except Jordan, Jabbar and maybe a couple others.

Twinkie.

I think somewhere in this thread I read (awful head cold to kick off April, Wisconsin weather is the absolute best...although today it actually wasn't bad) that only white people can be racist.  Have always laughed at the "meetblackpeople.com" (or whatever it is) dating site commercial on TV.  Can you imagine the outcry if someone made a dating site named "meetwhitepeople.com?"  Hilarious.
