No one is saying Laettner had a better basketball career and I think the NBA might be a little tougher to dominate....this was a Laettner basketball HOF and we thought he would be because he was one of the most accomplished collegiate players ever and it isn't an NBA HOF....it's college, women, overseas as well.

I think a better argument would be how worthless the basketball HOF is.

Fuck Pau Gasol...

Exactly. In Duke's 77 to 67 victory in Baton Rouge over Shaq's LSU Tigers in '92, Laettner went for 22, 10 and 3 and completely took Shaq out of the game when the Blue Devils had the ball. Superman was irrelevant defensively as he was no match for Laettner's versatility on the perimeter. Their NBA stories are obviously different. Shaq went on to become a top-five all-time center in the history of professional basketball, just behind Chamberlain, Jabbar, Russell and Olajuwon. Pretty good company.

While Laettner didn't go on to do that, arguably the greatest college basketball player of the '90s wasn't exactly a nothing. Over 12 years in the League, he averaged 13 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists per, and was an All-Star in 1997. "Christ," as some came to call him, averaged 18 points a game as a rookie for the Timberwolves and eclipsed that mark again during his all-star campaign in '97, before injuries relegated him to supporting-cast status.

More points were scored in the 90's than now. The no defense league is a myth and has been debunked.

USA playing like shit right now...

Get Carmelo out.

Spain is one dirty ass team

Carmelo and Kobe with back to back giveaways.
