    Man... such a great story. Lakers fan growing up in some s***hole in the middle of another s***hole. Redshirted. Undrafted. Two-way.

    The definition of betting on oneself.

    How often does a team have three different players who are capable of scoring 45 points? Who can get a triple double?

    this is pretty absurd

    We certainly have the best quota backcourt in the NBA, probably ever.

    Stockton and Hornacek?

    Carried the team. So much so that Carlisle was forced to blitz him on the defensive end to make others beat them.

    Absolutely he is. If he hadn't been behind LeBron and AD all this time there is no telling what kind of numbers we would be seeing.

    I would have a hard time believing anyone really wants to trade him. It wouldn't be as foolish as trading Luka but it would be up there.

    Fixed it for ya. ;) Hells to the no. AR has more IT in him probably than 95% of the players making more money than him in the league.

    I think what was most impressive was first off Austin bounced back from a terrible shooting night the other night. The second thing is he put up a career high despite all the different coverages and traps he saw. You know all eyes were going to be on him and they were as he starting heating up, yet AR still kept cooking the Pacers.
