I don't know that you can compare Wall to Rondo like that. What makes Rondo so good is an incredible competitive intelligence and X-factor. I don't think Wall's shown he has that yet.
Of course, playing with the lowest-IQ squad in the NBA will probably work to mask a PG's intelligence.
Nas is only pseudo-intellectual if you listen to his bad music. Like, there are people who like Nas because he raps platitudes about Africa with Damian Marley, but his early albums are incredible descriptions of street life. Just don't be convinced that post HHID is what Nas is supposed to be...
Even though the Knicks team doesn't make tremendous sense as currently constituted, what they desperately need is some TIME to play together and develop chemistry. Management needs to stop making crazy moves and relax. It takes time for a team to grow together.
Yeah this is weird. At the moment with JJ the team is actually not bad, it's just Knick-like because they'll have lots of money committed with a team that's not going to win. At the same time, I don't think they'll encounter quite the same chemistry issues. Just a shortage of necessary...

I will, and you can keep criticizing every Knick available (and every coach) to defend your 'superstar' bf. I'm going to guess you think Stephon Marbury got a raw deal in NY too? Carmelo makes his teammates worse; it's as simple as that.
The Knicks have plenty of effective scorers... Lin, Novak, J.R., Amare, Chandler, etc. can all put the ball in the basket. They might not all be shot creators, but that's why a star... is supposed to CREATE SHOTS FOR THEM. Even if he's a primary scorer, ex. Dirk. The Knicks have plenty of...
Melo is horribly overrated, hero ball will never win a playoff series, the guy is never going to learn what it takes to win.
Bill Simmons on the subject:
Playoff basketball can be exceedingly simple. Sometimes, one team has someone who can say the words "I got this" … and that's that. There are...
