TW NCAA Challenge - Bracket selection

[paradise!]

Pretty sure UNC just won in convincing fashion even though Hansbrough didn't really show up.

By the way, talk shit all you want, but Tyler's stats speak for themselves. You need 1 award won in 4 years to have your jersey retired at UNC. He won all 6, in the same year. Like him, dislike him, who cares, you'd be an idiot to not respect him though.

I'll give you this, yes he is talented. But he is 100% overrated. Don't get me wrong, he has had a great career, but he will never be a star in the NBA. So he's been smashing UNC records, big deal. You do know Micheal Jordan went to UNC right? He holds abosolutely no records, for one reason, he stayed a year then left. Do you know who UNC's all-time leading point scorer was? Phil Ford. Heard of him? Me neither.

All I'm saying is, don't get your hopes up. Especially for the fact that he has created a liking to dominating the boards in college, but there is no way in hell he could do that against NBA caliber Centers. His attitude on the court isn't thrilling either, I've never seen anyone whine for fouls as much as he does, nor have I seen anyone's eyes open that wide.

BUT, like gen said, if there's anything I like about this bug-eyed freak it is his intensity.

lol wut?

In 1981, Jordan earned a basketball scholarship to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where he majored in cultural geography. As a freshman in coach Dean Smith's team-oriented system, he was named ACC Freshman of the Year after he averaged 13.4 points per game (ppg) on 53.4% shooting (field goal percentage). He made the game-winning jump shot in the 1982 NCAA Championship game against Georgetown, which was led by future NBA rival Patrick Ewing. Jordan later described this shot as the major turning point in his basketball career. During his three seasons at North Carolina, he averaged 17.7 ppg on 54.0% shooting, and added 5.0 rebounds per game (rpg). After winning the Naismith and the Wooden College Player of the Year awards in 1984, Jordan left North Carolina one year before his scheduled graduation to enter the 1984 NBA Draft. The Chicago Bulls selected Jordan with the third overall pick, after Hakeem Olajuwon (Houston Rockets) and Sam Bowie (Portland Trail Blazers). Jordan returned to North Carolina to complete his degree in 1986.

He set records at UNC. They were broken afterward as the college season got longer and players became more athletic. Don't undermine the career of the great one asshole.

Hansborough

I don't know about 'dominating' the boards as one of his trademarks. He averages what, 8 or 9 a game? I mean thats solid for college, but its not spectacular. I'm not saying he'll be a powerhouse in the NBA, but I think it's also quite bold to say that he won't. He was listed as one of the top 15 high school players in the last 10 years, is clearly one of the top college players, so he could succeed in the NBA. Never can tell though, as JJ Redick was on both of those lists and now, well.... lol.

LOL, oh yes because Micheal Jordan's career is specifically limited to his stint in UNC. Just...phail, epic phail.


to paul:

JJ Reddick is a perfect example, although he was a shooting guard, he really couldn't ever match up with true athletes in the NBA. He had an outstanding time getting open for the big threes in College, but he couldn't find a real way to outstep his defender. I think the Hansboroughs position in the NBA is incredibly dominated by players who stronger, faster, and smarter than him in the paint. Like I said before, I don't see him making an immediate impact, and although reddick is only 3 year in, he could blossom.

JUST ONE GUYS OPINION :wub: :wub:

God you're a fucking idiot. You said Jordan had no records at UNC and that he only stayed 1 year. Those were both so easy to disprove that I didn't have to venture beyond wikipedia. You were trying to shortsell his college career and weren't considering why players break more records today.

So no, you fail. Now go home and buttfuck yourself. Maybe you'll learn not to talk out of your ass at Yale (how's that going btw? You ever hear back?).

[genocidal]

God paradise still hurts me every time he posts. I can't decide now whether he's just young and will grow out of it (which I had previously thought) or whether he's really a complete moron. Either way I'm sure he's a very nice young man irl. =)

I see a man in the crowd at the Wachovia Center that looks like what I imagine you look like. Is this you? (y/n).

Yes I was at that game in Philly. Sorry for the late reply... Not watching TV at that game, I have no clue as to who you had seen. BTW...I do not look like Steve Buschemi...I just like his acting and movies.

I thought he meant he could tell how you looked by reading your posts. Much like a blind person feels someone's face.

If he saw someone that looked like Steve Buscemi, then it was probably him though. No one is that ugly and doesn't stand the fuck out.

Listen moron, I was trying to show his college career in comparison to his NBA career, I really didn't know he stayed 3 full years. I knew he was successful in UNC, and knew he didnt stay 4 years. Anyways, I'd like to see you comment on what my reply actually said, rather than nitpick it to death, you saw my point. Just do what you do best squeezer, avoid the intentions of the post and look for mistakes.

That's all you got, as your boy vykromond would say:

dix dix and more dix in ur mouth.

gg BustedCondomChick.

gg Aquatiq's 8.9%

I'd also like it to be known that I scored a perfect 100% in my womens bracket, along with my 87% or so in this one, pretty sure I am king.

Congrats as you had been the less than .05% of viewers nationwide that followed the womens bracket. Do you really follow womens NCAA basketball? I honestly didn't think anyone really did except for the families of the players.

I was also very amazed that there was a bracket for the womens NCAA. I tried to watch a game and couldn't get past more than 2 - 5 minutes worth; I would rather sit and be forced to watch the View for 24 hrs.

I want to point out that there was absolutely zero celebration in Storrs when the women won. It was expected.

ahh, paradise is terrible.
