Hey, we don't care if he can throw a chest pass the length of the court. And we don't care if his uncle once sung about California Girls (though they are hot). And we especially don't give two craps that Dickie V. is dying to have his love child. Kevin Love will go on to become the biggest bust of the 2008 NBA Draft, and maybe the last five.
Why? It's pretty simple. You know how everyone questions his "athleticism?" Well, "athleticism" is short for: He's too f-ing white! And, he is. Might have worked for him in high school, and in college. But it ain't gonna be the same on the next level, no matter how many Big Macs he's lost, where he'll be going up against "athletes" far superior, and far, well, you know, than he is.
Lovester says he thinks he can be a double-double guy for his career. OK, so, if his career averages end up at 10 and 10, isn't that total failure for someone who was drafted with the fifth overall pick?
Eighty-two games going up against the likes of Stoudamire, Duncan, Oden, Boozer, Brand, etc. Are you kidding me? No way his body is handling it. For the durability factor alone, we're telling you right now Brook Lopez will be a much better NBA big. And the highly goofy Lopez will have a much more immediate impact on his team.
In case you hadn't figured it out, Minnesota will win maybe, if they're lucky, an extra three to five games next season. Though, with the "way of the west," they could lose three to five, to ten more. Come to think of it, we're pretty certain the Wolves will suck for many years to come (no matter how many lovely outlet passes they experience). The question is, will Steven A. Smith?
Magic 8 ball says: Most definitely. Ask it yourself.
BTW, Steven A.: It's "you", not "Jew". Just sayin'. |
