July 22, 200719 yr There's a difference between confidence in your game and cockiness. Buike and Chuck Hayes were confident, Bradley is just cocky. It's not that hard to score 1,000 career points anymore. With as many games as are played a year, if a player averages 8 points a game over their career they'll hit that mark. :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:
July 22, 200719 yr I think a little cockiness is a good attribute to have. I would take Bradley's heart on my team any day. Don't be surprised if Gillespie actually realizes that Bradley is a decent player and allows him to play a little this season.
July 22, 200719 yr A player has to be a little cocky in this day and age of the game to stand a chance. I suppose you think Jordan and Kobe are simply "confident" as well? Sure, having that swagger, especially the NYC swagger makes him a lightning rod for criticism. But I'd rather have that than the guys that havent had much confidence the last few years and played scared. You can say that about the kid, he doesnt play scared.
July 22, 200719 yr # 1 of all time is laetner. Others I couldnt stand... Joakim Noah Matt Walsh Ron Slay Sheldon Williams Tim Duncan- Same way in the NBA cries about every call. (Great Player though) Im a Uk fan and heres the very few players I never liked that were cats. Gimel Martinez Saul Smith Randolph Morris- LAZY!!!!

And thats part of the reason they are so great.
July 22, 200719 yr Christian Laettner has to be hated enough by UK fans to be a whole team by himself!!

You're actually comparing guys like Jordan and Kobe to Ramel Bradley!? As I said in my post, if you're going to have that attitude at least be able to back it up with your play. Kobe and Jordan both are/were able to do that, Bradley hasn't as of yet.

As I said in my post, if you're going to have that attitude at least be able to back it up with your play. Kobe and Jordan both are/were able to do that, Bradley hasn't as of yet. Am I comparing their games? Or am I comparing their attitudes. Ramel isnt even close to their games, but people love Michael's game and his demeanor. Ramel may not love his game, but when he's on your team, how can you not love his demeanor. Not to mention, much of your personality is developed at the high school age. You dont think Ramel was working kids when he was playing high school? It's easy to develop that. It's NYC my man, love it or hate it, thats the way it is.
July 23, 200719 yr I never have been a Duke fan, dont quiet understand UK and Duke rivarly seein how we never play but I dont care for Duke. But I must admit I watched JJ play as much as I could. It's really not a rival to us DUKE, that's right, DUKE fans. UK fans see anyone they lose to in the NCAA tourney as a rival. How can anyone hate Chris Duhon? He defines the pg position. I didn't like and still don't: Saul Smith- Tubby shoud've got George Baker and inserted him there. Randolph Morris- Still not NBA material Cliff Hawkins- One of the worst PG offensively for any team on any level ever Ramel Bradley- Can you say OVER.....RATED! Lofton will kill him again.

Don't be surprised if Gillespie actually realizes that Bradley is a decent player and allows him to play a little this season. Would you take that and his outstanding amount of TURNOVERS. He might eclipse the 1,000 mark, but also might get to a never seen before high rate in TURNOVERS. He is a specialist in that field.

I'd rather have Lofton and I'm not even a UK fan. Lofton didn't go to "tha D" either.
