tj ford is a cancer... he is not smart enough to play the pg position and make his team better.
you can not be a successful team with a me first point guard unless that point guard is an unbelievable player. Look at francis, marbury, payton and any other pg that exhibits the NN complex. I would put AI in this category to, but it seems like after 12 years he finally understands what the game is about. |
I disagree with virtually everything posted here. AI is an undersized 2, not a point. Philly tried to make him something he was not, and only after much distress, did they bring in a point guard in Snow to actually run the team. To those who call him a ball hog, look at the talent he was surrounded with. Now, for the first time in his career, he has other guys around him who can score, and all the sudden he looks like a team player. Sure, he has an adversion to practice, but no one can question what or how he does things on the court.
Although I think Jose is a better 1 than TJ, TJ has the north american mentality to the point guard position. He is a penetrate and kick player, who also goes looking for his own. I am an old school fan, I prefer a pass-first mentality at point to any scoring point guard [playing with the pass-first PGs always made the game so much easier for me and anyone else on my run], but his numbers don't lie. He does score, he does get a greater than average number of assists per minutes played, albeit he may not make it seem as seamless as jose. Personally, I think we're blessed in Toronto for having both approachs to the 1 spot coming from 2 very capable guards.
But as a side note, how dangerous is Jose now that he can make an open shot coming off the screen? WOW
