If my grandma had nuts she'd be my grandpa.

Referring to his time in the pros... The convo revolved around who is a better pro, King or Durant. King was a much more decorated college player because Durant was one and done.

Very true. I apologize for derailing the thread. Arguing with these old school guys is :banghead2: This very well could be the highest profile/best hire initially in Tennessee Basketball history. Maybe not the best coach, but the best initial hire.

1979. King's 3rd year.

He had 23 career 3s for 17%. :lolabove:

Then King is an average height guy that can't shoot. I love King btw but the comparison isn't very close IMO. Good to know the VN bias is alive and well. :crazy:

Based on what exactly? Durant averages more rebounds, assists, blocks, and steals. Is there an imaginary stat that makes King a more "complete" player?

Not for the teams that win. Top two teams in assists are Golden State and Atlanta, who have the top two records. Main point I am trying to make is KD > BK/DE. And it helps with recruiting much more to say that our current coach recruited Durant than it does that Mears recruited King and...

Too bad the NBA isn't a 1v1 competition.

I'm sorry but neither Dale Ellis nor Bernard King compare to Kevin Durant. He is two healthy years away from passing both of them on the all time scoring list and he is only 26. Nostalgia may play a role for you guys but I feel like any non UT fans would laugh at these comparisons. Durant...

Racist, IMO.

Actually it was completely empty last Saturday.

Ray Rice, Doug Martin, LeVeon Bell, Alfred Morris, and Shonn Greene say, "Hello from the NFL." Just to name a few former 3 stars or lower.

It was the same guy that does the UT basketball games. He is no Bobby Denton, but I think he would be a suitable replacement.

TIFWIW but Pig was playing basketball in the TRECS for about 2 hours on Tuesday night.
