Hindsight.
You must not remember the Defensive anchor perkins was up until about a year ago. That was a great trade fot them that proppelled them to the finals. Ibaka wouldnt have gotten shine without that trade being made.

Can go anywhere between Lebron, Tyreke, and Blake Griffin.

The Clippers are so damn overrated. Jared Dudley and JJ Reddick make them contenders now? FOH. Until DeAndre and Blake's improves leaps and bounds from last year, they're still a fringe 2nd round team.

I think Doc will make the Clippers better but he can't help Blake's post game. That's one of the main things holding 'em back.
By far Lebron.

Not a fan of Melo but he carried the Thuggettes to the playoffs his rookie season when they were the worst team in the NBA prior to drafting him, they also hadn't made the playoffs for like 9 years or something too.

While I agree Melo was the biggest reason the team improved, I think "carried" would be too strong of a word. They spent money that summer (Andre Miller, Voshon Leonard, Earl Boykins), Marcus Camby stayed relatively healthy and Nene improved from his rookie year.

KD isnt even in that discusion lol. Some people actually thought al horford should have won that award. I argued Melo probally was. He led rookies in scoring, rebounded well, and led his team to the playoffs. LeBron, Tyreke and Blake Griffin are the other rookies tha come to mind.

Who's overrating them? I don't see anyone (outside of Certified) saying they're a lock to make the WCF or finals. Most Clippers fans realize that they'll be improved under Doc and with the personnel changes, but they won't go any further in the playoffs unless Blake and DJ step up. Hell, even the Clippers themselves know that.

Hard to top Blake's rookie year, unless you decide not to count it because it was a "redshirt" season.

Let me correct myself, I went too far saying LeBron by far. Melo, Chris Paul, Blake and Rose had some great rookie seasons. I might even put Wade in there too based his regular season and his playoff performance that year. He's my man but I don't even remember much about KD's rookie year.

I didn't say the Clippers will make the WCF or Finals.
I said we're gonna win it all...

I think Tyreke's Rookie season is underrated. I know he hunted for that 20 5 & 5, but he was pretty efficient and special. Blake was fun to watch and backed it up with production too.
You know Melo was actually was slightly better in all major statistical categories other than assist and steals when compared to Bron. Even more efficient lol. I think you should look up his rookie season, I believe him to be the better rookie. The media though, robbed him of co-ROY

If you had all of that, you'd be LeBron. I don't understand what the **** you're even trying to say there
That's the joke in reference to earlier comments

I'm with you, man. No matter what example you use, hypothetical and what if scenarios in sports are kind of silly and pointless to debate. Take away any player's best attribute and its pretty obvious that they won't be as good. Like, if Ray Allen couldn't shoot he might not be in the league or if Kobe didn't have drive and work ethic, he'd just be another Jason Richardson. And on and on. But they do have those talents and abilities and that's what makes them great, so why even speculate on what they'd be if they were someone else completely?
