We should start a petition to change all Chuck Norris jokes going forward to Paul Millsap jokes.

When Paul Millsap does push ups he doesn't push himself up, he pushes the earth down.

Superman wears Paul Millsap pajamas.

Paul Millsap can win a game of connect four in three moves.

Paul Millsap doesn't breathe, he holds air hostage.

We did that years ago with Deron.

I predicted this in the beginning of his rookie season ...

Remember all the flack I got for saying Milsap was close to being better the Loozer, and I said young as he was with his yearly improvement he would be better? It crow all you Loozer Lovers like O Gat, Salty Dawg, etc.

I'm sorry, but this has to be one of the dumbest post posted on the new jazzfanz site.

Are you reading some other new jazzfanz site?

When talking about a single game performance being one of the greatest of all times for the Jazz, you say, "let's not elevate him that high just yet."

Actually, you wrote definitively that it was "the greatest," not "one of the greatest."

My point is merely that I don't believe that statement is true. I believe other Jazz players have had better individual games. Maybe not better individual quarters or 30 second runs, but better individual games.

What the hell does that mean?

Exactly what it says. By placing Millsap above all other games by all other jazz players ever you're denigrating those performances. Millsap's game was incredible. But it's not the de facto greatest ever just because it happened yesterday.

His 3 3 pointers at the end and the put back along with him literally carrying the Jazz on his shoulders the whole game are remarkable and you want to refute that?

I haven't done anything to denigrate his performance, but I will refute that he was literally carrying the entire Jazz team on his shoulders. Pics or it didn't happen.

The Jazz winning tonight and Millsap's performance were nothing short of a miracle. I will never forget this game.

Agreed. Neither will I.

Kicky? What else did millsap have to do to be elevated "that high just yet"

Have the best Jazz game of all time. That was the standard set.

Look, here's two of the games I mentioned.

https://www.basketball-reference.com/boxscores/199001270UTA.html

Karl Malone gets 61 points and 18 rebounds in 33 minutes on 81% shooting. That's pretty ****ing incredible. Put another way, Karl Malone outscored the Bucks five best players combined on that night.

Another game I mentioned that I can't get a boxscore for (because it's too long ago to be stored by my usual sources) is a five point win against Portland on January 18th 1985. Mark Eaton scored 12 points (6-6), had 20 rebounds, and 14 blocked shots. On the defensive end that's one of the most dominant statistical games of all time by any player regardless of team.

Millsap's game was amazing and his fourth quarter is one of the best I've ever seen, but I don't think history is going to look back on his 46 and 9 in a November regular season game as being the greatest performance in a Jazz uniform.

Carry a team against the greatest assembled threesome of all time

When did we play Chamberlain/Baylor/West or Russell/Havlicek/Cousy?

Paul Millsap is a golden god. Someone up above compared him to Barkley, and that's not too far off, except that Millsap substitutes hard work for eating twinkies.

This is the kind of hyperbole I'm talking about. I don't think I'm going out on a limb when I say I don't expect Millsap to be the MVP anytime soon.

Good question. See 5 posts up for the answer.

I know, I tried to edit that I got the answer last night, but it just kept freezing instead of pushing the edit through for some reason.

Millslapped.

I've found that the only way to edit is to use the advanced options. Otherwise it just spins.

It was the greatest Jazz individual performance I recall ever witnessing.

Actually, you wrote definitively that it was "the greatest," not "one of the greatest."

My point is merely that I don't believe that statement is true. I believe other Jazz players have had better individual games. Maybe not better individual quarters or 30 second runs, but better individual games.

I'm actually kind of embarrassed and offended that you would dare say that Millsap's game wasn't the greatest Jazz performance I ever saw. Please, tell me which game, I've seen, is better and why my personal opinion should differ, num num.

I haven't done anything to denigrate his performance, but I will refute that he was literally carrying the entire Jazz team on his shoulders. Pics or it didn't happen.

Dude, everyone saw it. Where the hell were you?

Karl Malone gets 61 points and 18 rebounds in 33 minutes on 81% shooting. That's pretty ****ing incredible. Put another way, Karl Malone outscored the Bucks five best players combined on that night.

Do you remember watching this game at the tender age of six? I don't. I didn't witness it, therefore, it wasn't the greatest Jazz player performance I've ever witnessed, num num head. I doubt it was yours too.

i was having hard time deciding whose jersey i was going to buy next. millsap answered that question for me last night...millsap for president!!!

 

[moevillini]

i think bumping this thread might bode well for today's game

 

[freakazoid]

MIllsap needs to be re-intruduced to the bench.

This should be his home every time he gets less than ten rebounds.

Don't wanna try then DON"T PLAY SUCKA..

10 rebounds a game, or you aint doin' your job. Get the **** to work, or trade his *** for a 2. Preferably to a **** team. That's right, earn it here, or get ****ed on the Cavs. You decide, Paul.
