Re: OT: Michael Redd's place among active pure SG's

Quote:
Why aren't you calling him a superstar anymore?
What are you talking about? almost every other post im calling him a star or superstar or elite player.

Quote:
i'm not trying to really compare kapono to redd....we all know redd is a better overall player than kapono....

what you did was list 4 things that were factors in making redd a star:
Then why bring up kapono when its totally out of context as to what we are talking about? Like i said, someone in a gym who shoots all day long and can make half court shots with his eyes closed fits the criteria of an amazing shooter. But not in the context of being a star in this league, which is what youre talking about. And the article quoted either did not have the context of redd just being a guy who can shoot like your regular gym guy, or like kapono, etc. It was in the context of his stardom, they were bringing out things that made him a star...the same things that i brought out. What made it stand out more was his defficiences, about not being an explosive athletic guy like the stereotypical star, yet still his shooting puts him at a high level.
