Seeing Mo Pete play like the way he's playing is only a Raptor fan's dream, but I'm loving the fact that he's playing so well. I also like using Mo Pete in the game as well, he's got size to shoot over a lot of guards but the quickness to blow by defenders, he's an NBA Live user's dream.

Mo Pete is like Kobe Bryant; he's scoring a bunch of points but the team isn't winning. Hopefully you will be able to pull this off, you've put yourself in a pretty tough position.
