Don't understand skurey and docsu reactions. The article stated, and what I heard as essentially strong praise  (underlined)-

[I]The best player in the NBA is a fan of Michael Carter-Williams.

[U]"He has been playing great basketball," [/U]LeBron James [URL='http://www.csnphilly.com/basketball-philadelphia-sixers/lebron-sixers-have-good-one-mcw']told csnphilly.com[/URL] on Friday. "Obviously he has his ups and downs like any ol' rookie, but [U] he has been playing pretty steady basketball[/U] for his team, so [U]they got a good one[/U]."[/I]

Alternatively, skurey and docsu must have gotten hung up on, [I]he has his ups and downs like any ol' rookie. [/I]I don't think that makes LBJ a jerk or the statement "cowardly praise."  Such objections seems a bit thin-skinned.

For those who require praise to be unadulterated (although I guess him throwing the word 'eventually' in there can be construed as dilutive by some)  then concentrate more on Spoelstra's assessment-

[I]"He is that long multi-skilled point guard," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said of MCW. "There are very few of those types of point guards with that skill set. He eventually can be a multi-position player. I mean he almost had a quadruple-double in our game. It tells you the ability he has on the court to impact the game in a lot of different areas."
