Rudy Gobert "Greatest Jazz Center of All Time" Countdown Thread

[NUMBERICA]

Do you ever tire of being an a-hole?

Yes, but I don't tire of being right.

Yes, but I don't tire of being right.

Yes, and only a-holes are right all the time ...

Mark Jackson is putrid **** and I can think of few things more perfect than Ernie Meenie aligning with him.

"John Stockton... not a great shooter".

Stock could score 35 and dish 10 in today's NBA and that bitch Jackson couldn't get off the bench.

I'm all with the idea that maybe Sloan was a little less adaptable than he could have been, but when you bring that snek Marc Jackson into it you lose credibility. I mean I think AK was miscast (partly because of how the league was then, and mostly because Deron came in and took over the team culture/identity) but Jackson has shown himself to be a lying, cheating, fat, fat, cheating, lying cancer. He did the same things as a coach. He built a terrible culture and has major insecurity issues. "The man is a walking cancer." - Marc Jackson voice.

Did I say that? Do you ever tire of embarrassing yourself?

Rudy had a stretch last year where he was dominating pretty much all of the best centers in the league, including cousins, who is a bruiser. Rudy has down games just like anybody else, but nobody muscles him on a regular basis. That hasn't been true for a couple years now.

I think Rudy has struggled at times coming back from injury when he wasn't yet 100% healthy, and some fans revert back to thinking he's getting bullied by tougher centers. There's nobody in the league who gets the best of a healthy Gobert on a regular basis.

Cousins is not a bruiser. He spends half the game at the 3 point line and a quarter whining. He occasionally does go to the post and once in a while plays physical. But it's not the all game wearing you down that guys in that era did.

I had nothing better to do so little bit copy-pasting from the Basketball-reference site.

I guess it might take 2 seasons to score more points than Memo who is currently on the 10th place on all-time Jazz points leaderboard.

So, where are we on this?

4th. Maybe 3rd.

I think he's probably second now, directly behind Mark Eaton. And Rudy will likely pass Eaton this season.

 

[Joe Bagadonuts]

4th. Maybe 3rd.

Other than Eaton who are you putting ahead of him? It must be someone whose career I somehow missed. Okur, Jefferson and Ostertag are far in his rear-view mirror.
