Sounds like the writer is on drugs.

Just for people’s information, Rick Reilly is a liberal airhead. I don’t read him much, but he once wrote an article about praising his friend’s choice to get a sex change.

Jimmer didn’t have a great game, but in fairness, he was triple teamed whenever he got within 30 feet of the basket. And his teammates didn’t do a whole lot to pick up the slack.

Fredette is a legitimate scorer, but he plays no defense, which will expose him. Guys who play no defense generally don’t accomplish anything in the N.B.A.

He’ll be the next Adam Morrison in the NBA.

When I was in high school, my next door neighbor had an extra ticket and asked me if I wanted to watch a college basketball game with him (I mowed his lawn). I saw Maravich play as a junior. I think he scored 48 that night, with that floppy hair and those saggy socks.

He passed behind his back and between his legs without looking at the man he was passing to and I'm not certain he missed a shot all night.

He'd steal the ball, dribble behind his own back, and flip a bounce pass between his legs to the trailing man without looking.

He did it with such joy and ease and there didn't seem to be any cockiness to what he was doing.

There was never a Maravich before Maravich and I've never seen once since him.

A little Maravich? Don't make me laugh.

Jimmer is college basketball’s Tim Tebow. And they’re doing the same thing to him as they did to Tebow.

Wow, why the hate? It sounds racist to me.

For the record, Maravich played little or no defense in college. He was an outstanding ballplayer, but he scored forty points a game because he took forty shots a game. His dad was the coach which is often the case of players who score that many points. He never shot better than 45% from the field in college or the pros. Maravich was taller and faster than Fredette and obviously a better passer. But Fredette has YMCA hops? Fredette has a 36 inch vertical leap. Not too many white kids and not a lot of black kids can’t jump that high. He’s got better range than Maravich, heck he’s got better range than anybody I’ve ever seen. He also has excellent moves and can pass the ball when he has to. He’ll be an excellent player coming off the bench to put some O into the game.
