Mark Worthington - what a tool
Good to see Mark "the cancer" Worthington doing his best to screw his own team again today ... Seriously the Blaze should cut his sorry ass right now ..
Hey average who do you follow?
On what basis do you say that Johnson pads his stats?
I haven't missed a home game this year and I would swear that DJ gets most of his points in the first half of games. Hardly a scenario of a stat padder.
As for Worthington, he is at his most productive when he is allowed to get away with little hits and illegal actions. Hence his propensity to spit the dummy when everything is not going his way.
Anyone who has been involved in basketball at a high level can tell you that stats, although helpful, are not the be all and end all. There are things players do that are integral to the success of the team that aren't recorded by stats.
Wortho has always annoyed me and he is frankly a bit of a sniper. But I think we're all missing the real issue which is it's concerning for basketball in Australia that his stats are in the top 10.
Agreed, and lol at everyone drinking up the Blaze cool aid in recent weeks ... They're not getting anywhere near a championship ... They're the tin men of the NBL - no heart
Recent article in <b>The Age</b> about Bogut.
Some interesting bits include:<blockquote>"The public's image of NBA players is true," he says forthrightly. "A lot of them get caught up in the hype and do video clips with rappers and all that crap. They want bling bling all over themselves and drive fast cars. But I think that's just the way the culture is in America if you've got it, flaunt it and if you don't, you can't."
"The smarter guys don't do that. They like to live a regular life and want to retire and be set up. About 80 per cent of them go broke by the time they retire or come close to it"
"I always wanted to make it in basketball. But then I missed out on the state team and it was turning into a nightmare. I wondered whether it was all worth it and when I was about 16, I wanted to quit & Before that point, my dad had said I could stop if I wanted to. But by that time, he'd realised my potential and wouldn't let me give up. It all went from there."</blockquote>
