And again, that makes him a pussy? That isn't part of his skill set. Dirk Nowitzki is a pussy by your definition.

Where did KG work him down low? If I remember correctly, KG shot jumpers from the outside except for 1 turn around fadeaway from the corner. Is he a pussy too?

Although I like Dirk, yeah I think he is too. Nothing about Dirk or Bosh portrays toughness.

But KG did and does the same thing that you are saying Bosh does?

KG has gone through a whole career being known as a physical guy, even too physical at times http://lakersblog.latimes.com/lakersblog/2010/05/phil-jackson-suggests-kevin-garnett-played-too-physical-against-dwight-howard.html.
I don't recall a time where people discuss his weakness of being worked by big men down low. Bosh the reputation around the league is he is soft and gets worked by physical big men. With that size he is a pussy. It's ok there are plenty of big men pussy in the league.

So basically if you're a skilled big man who doesnt just back people down bully them and dunk the ball...you're a pussy?

Wow, missing the point here. KG has similar skill set as Bosh, but will play downlow and not cower like a bitch. Bosh on the other hand almost refuses to play defense and opening whines about it. Jesus Christ you guys, watch some fucking basketball for once. Between arguing that Tim Duncan is a center, and that KG isn't a phyiscal player I wonder if any of you have ever watched a fucking game before.

If you're around 7 feet tall and over 225 lbs., and are scared of contact and physical play, yes, you're a pussy.

I think he is defining a finesse player in general as being a pussy. Bosh = finesse player, therefore is a pussy.

I watched the game last night. Bosh was guarding KG. Is Bosh supposed to bang in the paint while KG floats around the perimeter shooting jump shots?

Dynasty is also a pussy for further example.

You do realize that 225 lbs for a 7 footer is rail thin. There would be a reason why someone that size would prefer to use their quickness and athleticism rather than trying to bully anyone.

I agree hes not exactly the most physical big man in the league, but as you see in the highlight reel. Its not like all he does is spot up and shoot mid range jumpers. He can cut to the hoop and finish above the rim, with contact. But if you can take the opponents big men away from the basket(where theyre uncomfortable and out of place) and open up the lanes for LBJ and Wade, thats just as effective as being able to bang down low IMO

Yeah, that reason is because he is a pussy. You must not know basketball...

It's not as if this is news that Bosh is a pussy:

Yes, I do realize that. I used it in order to include as many big men in the NBA as possible.thedynasty1998;535125 wrote:You do realize that 225 lbs for a 7 footer is rail thin.

If you're playing PF or C in the NBA, you've most likely been playing those positions all your life. How you go through high school, college, to the NBA, being that big and still afraid of contact I don't know. Oh wait, yes I do. It's because you're a pussy.

The problem is the other teams center probably won't be guarding Bosh, their PF will. So him playing away from the basket won't necessarily pull the opposing teams center away from the hoop.

I never got the memo that all big men must be bruisers.
