You can't take it to a literal meaning.. That's just not how it's used.. If Kenny hall was a game changer so was McBee and Richardson and even yemi and Miller. When you think of Ryan Childress do you think game changer? Lol. | I understand what you're saying. When I first commented on Nichols being a game changer, I was talking in a broad sense. I can understand your argument that just because a guy makes a significant contribution doesn't make him a game changer. UK had 6 guys last year that were great players and will all probably make NBA rosters. However, only one, Davis, actually changed how the game was played, thus a game changer. | |
