Message: [QUOTE="OttosBestFriend, post: 2063633, member: 852"] #FakeNews First of all, it was not "ESPN," that compared the two. The moment you reference happened in-game during conversation between Dan Shulman and Jay Bilas - arguably the most respected college basketball analyst in America. It was mentioned that Briscoe runs the baseline as Thompson did and Bilas IMMEDIATELY interjected, (paraphrased) "Now, Thompson was a much better player than Briscoe is." ESPN never "compared" the two in such a way that your original post insinuates. Stevie's name came up and Jay Bilas said Thompson was a better player. Also, I know this post reads as harsh toward you. I'm not trying to flame. Just wanted to elaborate on your post as, reading the replies, it appears others have taken the comparison personally. As if, "How dare they compare Briscoe to our legend?" [/QUOTE]
