Kirk Hinrich

When i was watching the bulls bucks hilights, i realized something. Kirk hinrch and mark price has simular playing styles, and not only that they look alike. Who do you think was or is a better player? They both can shoot threes, and they're both solid passers?

Hinrich is a decent PG who can shoot and start in any other team.

The difference is that he's not in the elite of PG's and he won't reach it with Chicago that now gave the duties to Rose

Well, they're both white I guess.

Despite how comfortable I am with the idea of the Bulls trading Hinrich, I do like him and certainly don't want to see him dealt away unless it's a good deal but I'd deem Mark Price the superior player and definitely the better shooter (a career field goal percentage of 47% and 40% from downtown compared to Kirk's 41% and 37%).

Deg! I forgot mark price had brown hair man, I saw mark price a couple of times when i use to go see the cavs play in the 80's. I thought price had dark hair, the 2 players just remind me of each other cause they can both shoot the 3 point shot.

Does Ray Allen remind you of Sam Perkins?

For the past few years, I really thought Hinrich would be an all-star and is irreplaceable at starting point. But...Derrick Rose is surely a player with great potentials. Hinrich would be a starting pg rite now, i hope he would get traded so he wouldn't have to come off the bench and play as a backup!

Owned? To me hinrich and price both have simular playing styles and mark price is my favorite player of all time. Just like When i think of bynum i'm reminded of oden, when i think of okafor i'm reminded of dwight howard. When i say reminded of somebody its because their playing styles remind me of the other person.

Price was a much more active passer and better shooter. Better offensive rebounder despite being smaller oddly.

I guess they are both point guards who shoot three pointers though.

bynum and oden are 2 young players who can rebound, block shots, and have potential to be pretty good shooters and they're both coming off of injuriese. Okafor and howard are great shot blockers on young teams.

I'd agree that he's a starter quality player but what's holding him back from being a really good point guard is his tendency to look for his own shot and his shot selection. He's got a habit of pulling up for threes or long twos when the Bulls have numbers which is tolerable when he's shooting well but just kills them when he's having an offnight.

You really do simplify players to the smallest of their parts in your comparisons don't you?

Howard has some skills in offense, but Okafor is limited

For the love of God, I thought you were just pretending to be stupid but this insanity must stop.

For clarifications sake: Ben was being sarcastic. You replying in a serious fashion to his blatant non-seriousness makes you look like a moron. Now stop making yourself look even worse by justifying what you think/thought of that post and proceed to respectfully shut the fuck up already.
