Re: The Ammo bandwagon
Why the **** are people even mentioning Adam Morrison in the same sentence as Larry Bird?
Defence? Bird averaged nearly 2 steals a game and a block a game in the NBA, until he got hurt at age 32.
Morrison can't even average 1 steal and 1/2 a block in a weak conference in the NCAA.
In college Bird led the nation in scoring AND rebounding - 30ppg and 15 rpg.
Bird was an all-star every season he played (excepting his injury season where he played just 6 games. He was MVP 3 straight times.
Adam Morrison is just a scorer in the NCAA. A fantastic scorer, but that's it. He rebounded ok, and in no way projects to be a rebounder in the NBA. He will probably get more assists in the NBA than he did in college, because he will have more options to pass to, and better defenders covering him. But there is nothing to suggest he will EVER approach Bird's WORST season: at age 35, crippled with a herniated disk, he was 20 -10 with 7 apg, and better steal/block numbers than Morrison had last year with 'Zaga!
Just say NO to Bird comparisons.
