Y’all going learn about the Eastern Conference one day.
The “Black Gordon Hayward” ***** originally started as a pejorative by me, mainly to temper the expectations and level of player that Paul George was PERCEIVED at, at the time.
He’d start off the year hot...and people would float he’s Kawhi/KD level. And it was clear to me...he was closer to who Gordon’s hayward was becoming....than KD or Kawhi
That’s the context for you. Do what you want with it.
That Heat team wasn't some sorry east team. The BGH thing was something ya'll do when ya'll don't like a player. You just compared Middleton to pre injury PG. You know basketball better than that.
PG had a serious set back and now he's back on that track he was headed. With Kawhi and in the MVP convo. We'll see where GH goes...
Paul George broke his leg in the summer of 2014. He came back for 6 games in the spring of 2015. He played the whole next season in '15-'16 and had one of his best seasons. He wasn't coming off of an injury in the '16-'17 season, which is the only season people are saying it was comparable.
The problem is dudes wasn't just saying "hey their #'s are close". Dudes was flat out saying GH is better than PG.
