Maul Pimpslap is killin it.

[Weezur]

He is following an unorthodox career trajectory. He did not play well on his contract season, and after not getting paid well has started to put big numbers. Normally it's all opposite

Ty was a big reason he probably didn't play well. Milsap played amazingly with Favors, but Ty kept going Milsap/Jefferson.

The most under-appreciated Jazz player of all time.

Actually, I'd say that was Memo. But I see what you're saying.

Milsap sucks he's a midget that can't guard a short power foward. He's a cry baby I am so glad he is gone, boozer was way better than he ever was.

Who can stop 9erute?

Bozzer > Milsap > BUIG OWL

You mean possibly the least able rim-protector the Jazz have ever regularly played at C and who played very poorly for big stretches of almost any given season, and whose pointless extension forced the Jazz to make some bad cost-saving decisions? And the guy who despite all that, seems to get nothing but love?

I disagree.

I think most of us really loved the Millsap of 5-6 years ago, when he was still fighting for every loose ball.

You mean when he wasn't very good at basketball? This is what drives me nuts about fans (or at least fanz); when a guy is given a serious load to carry and does it very well (Millsap for the last 3+ seasons), it will never be as impressive as some unidimensional hustle-player (what Millsap was).

Fans dig flashy, and winning. When we don't get one, we applaud the other. When we get both it is orgasmic. When we don't get either, we rag on the coach and best player at the time as being inadequate. Fickle fans.

Is there a more dynamic offensive big in the league than Millsap (unless you include LeBron/Melo...)?

No, I mean the skilled big man who came through in the clutch time and time again and was one of the team's big play maker for years, who knew and played his role within the team offensive scheme very well, who one year was among the league leaders in double doubles and almost single handedly carried an otherwise bad team that year to respectability, who played, or tried to play, gamely through injuries, including coming back too soon from an Achilles tear which ended up curtailing his career, who was a great teammate and citizen, and who did not (despite claims otherwise) disappear for big stretches of season but, in tandem with other players, formed the nucleus of a very competitive 50+ win team over several years. Yep, that guy.

As opposed to, say, an undersized power forward with notable defensive liabilities against larger players, who inevitably faded during the course of a full year, who got schooled consistently during playoffs losses by bigger and more skilled big men, and who spent his last year on the team petulantly pouting about his role, and who could do no more when he was the one of the marquee players than lead the team to the 8th seed one year and outside the playoffs the next year?

Memo was consistently garbage in the playoffs AND was a worse team and individual defender than Millsap. He was also universally loved.

You're proving numb's point.

Jazz fanz love heroes that aren't very good but are luke-warm on actually good basketball players. How did so many people get on board with tanking to get real talent that might not scrap like Luke Harangody or give a great interview like Fesenko?
