Kobe and T-Mac already had 3-range when they were young.
Tyreke clutch?

That rules out Joe Johnson. X may be right with the J-Rich comparison. :lol:
J-Rich didn't have 3-range early in his career. Didn't play defense (even now lol).

Tyreke aint clutch? Kidding me?

Tyreke highlights are game-winners, clutch threes and steals. (Damn, that does seem to rule out Ty)

There's a reason game winners are highlights. If missed potential game winners were highlights, everyone would look pretty damn impressive!

Also... addressing the clutchness of Ty... he has hit his fair share of clutch shots and game winners for the Stealth. Look back through ALIB II and III and you will see.

Do got a point there, but saying he aint clutch is wrong. Going with Tyreke for now.

I'm going to stick with T-Mac and my initial reasons. And in fact Richardson had better three point shooting than T-Mac.Slightly,but indeed better.

That was in the past Sit.
Look at LeBron, he was pretty much clutch before 2010. See playoff series against Detroit (2007) and Orlando (2009). Now, he shrinks during crunch time.

Chris Bosh. Ty's not a PF or anything, but Chris can be clutch (2% of the time), he has a mid range game, he passes well for his size, and has potential. He's overshadowed by LeChoke and Wade though

There's a few answers I really like, some are well detailed and some need to be elaborated. you may change your answer if you wish for more accurate comparison. I feel that going back further in time might yield a good answer ;)

Fits Gerald Henderson perfectly. :lol:

Shadow wins all the points because he was the first guy to post an original answer: Joe Johnson. (Y)

A close second was whoever said Vince Carter. Unfortunately, you did not elaborate. I also liked The X's Jason Richardson. However, I felt that Shadow deserves this round of points.

My mind control has worked. I said shadow had already won when he picked JJ & he did. He beat me to the obvious so I had to throw out a lite version of JJ, albeit slightly shorter, more athletic, more explosive, less playmaker version. Tyson is probably a bit of a hybrid of Joe Johnson & Jason Richardson with the ability to fake injuries in big games and fade from the spotlight like Vince Carter.

I would have given the Vince Carter comparison the win had it had been elaborated. (Y)

Ahhhh that was my first thought, but seeing as someone else had written it I thought I should pick someone else instead. Oh well :wink:

Seattle Stealth Back On Winning Track

Image Image

February 9, SEATTLEKevin Durant dropped 40 first half points to silence critics of his previous performance and infamous post-game interview. The NBA All-Star and leading scorer was on song from the start and did not need to play a minute in the second half of a 159-104 win against the visiting LA Clippers.

Durant led 7 other players in double figures; including Reshawn Tyson (31 points), Andrew Bogut (17 points), Allen Iverson (19 points) and Jason Kidd (10 points, 11 assists). Bogut was particularly impressive as he notched another triple double by adding 13 rebounds and 15 assists to his tally of points. “So much for me quitting on my team,” Durant said afterwards, “I’m the only player in this league who can win a game in one half.”

Eric Gordon paced the Clippers with 25 points. Ray Lliach managed 23 points while Amare Stoudemire added 15.

I like this, Kevin Durant is becoming more likeable again. I think he's turned the corner. He's that heel that is so damn good you just can't just help but like him secretly.

As for his running buddy, Reshawn Tyson, I think the Vince Carter comparison is brilliant & we all know what we think about Vinsanity (N) :lol:

Yes, I do think the Vinsanity comparison works very well. Especially since they are both Tar Heels. :)
