Does anyone kind of think of Morrison as Glen Robinson?

Blasphemer!

Don't you remember how good Glenn Robinson was back in the day? I took a trip back to the early 90's in my time machine, and I can categorically state that Robinson created his own shot way better than Morrison could ever dream of! You don't know anything about basketball if you think that Morrison can even walk on the same ground as the Big Dog!

Please.

Stop with the Morrison and Bird comparisons. It's more sickening than the Dunleavy and Bird comparisons. At least it's not as bad as the idiotic Mike Miller and Bird comparisons.

If Morrison is the next Bird then Redick is the next Ray Allen.

Anyways, great performance by Morrison and I agree with the poster that says that the Zags are not that good. Morrison is the Zags.

Morrison is a solid prospect and arguably the #1 pick in this year's draft but he will never be as good as Bird. Not even an old Bird with a bad back.

They played totally different games in college. I don't see how Morrison is anything like the Big Dog and he surely is not as good of a college player or NBA prospect as Glenn was.

Unless, you mean prospects who did/will perform well below expectations once they reach the NBA. Well, nobody has a crystal ball. Morrison could very well end up being a better pro than Robinson who knows? But the Big Dog certainly did not live up to his billing although you can't really say his career was a failure because afterall he was a multiple all-star and averaged at least 20 ppg for most of his career.

whenever my old man calls me and we get on the subject of morrison he says he's good but he's no larry bird. i'm not sure who compares the two but a couple of similarities stand out such as the release point on their shot or their late game cold blooded demeanor. bird was bigger,more of an inside threat and at the pro level certainly a better passer. to me morrison is more of a reggie miller type but time will tell.

What makes Larry Bird so different from any other shooter that he's compared to is that Bird was so much more than a shooter. He was a 6-9 SF who could bang down low, rebound, and had the court sense of Jason Kidd. Maybe Morrison has as good a shot as Bird, and maybe he has a similar release, but that alone doesn't make you like Larry Bird.

I want to say that I think 'The Truth's Law' is pure genius, but I think you should leave it descriptive, and not make it normative. So you don't automatically lose by invoking said imagery, but you just state that the potentiality increases on a 'logarithmic scale' or something like that. It makes it something that one must ponder the significance of.... Just my (aesthetic) opinion of course.

If you watched tapes of Robinson at Purdue and Morrison now, They score from the exact same spots on the court, and while Glenn Robinson was able to drive inside because he was bigger, Adam Morrison is sooo much quicker than Glenn Robinson was.

Adam Morrison may not be a superstar in the NBA, but he will be damn good pro.

Morrison has to be better than Bird.Hell Bird must be fifty and he's had a bad back for the last twenty years.Of course I remember than Bird once had a far better moustache.
