That first dunk reminded me of Hakim Warrick. Quick off the ground, goes right at the guy between him and the basket, the arms just keep extending, and then pounds it down over the defender (who by that point was just trying to get out of the way).
Wahry.
My friend the late Rob Ades, who was close to JB, used to tell me we had “running jumping MFers”.
As close to DC as we have had in a while.
What about John Wallace
Close had a great run in the tournament, Warwick was close. But DC had the complete game. Hoping that is what Donnie brings to the game.
So you're saying Freeman is closer to DC than Wallace was?
I hope Freeman is close to Wallace, let alone Coleman, damn.
No just hoping that his talent with end up that way.
Literally nobody has been the last 40 years, so I'm going with "Freeman will not be as good as Coleman rebounding."
Freeman is a better defender than DC? Didn't JB say once that DC was one of the best defenders he ever had?
Certainly one of the smartest players we’ve ever had.
I hear you. But, that's what we do, isn't it? It doesn't mean that these guys will ever live up to one of our greats, but maybe they do. How about "Carmelo Anthony is the next Billy Owens"? Who would have ever thought he could live up to it and then some. So long as we don't expect any incoming recruit to be as good as those they are similar to, that is good enough. But, irrational posters that heap expectations on the shoulders of these young men are setting them up to be unduly criticized. I have no idea what I just wrote, I just went with it.
I’m going to stick with things like “I hope he’s really good like when we had guys like Fair, Grant, etc.”
Well DC was born in June 21st so Donnie is already a month and a half behind.
