Another KT-Reef Tussle

Joe Davidson from the Sacramento Bee tells us about another minor scrum between Kenny Thomas and Shareef Abdur-Rahim.

Nothing "serious," though when your two power forwards go after each other twice in six months, there just might be fire there.

I plan on writing a longish post on this sometime this week, but right now I don't think Kenny starting and Reef coming off the bench in November would be a horrible thing. On multiple levels. Again, I'll write about that more later.

In the meantime, let's hope no jaws get broken. And let's hope Ron Artest doesn't read the paper:

Ron Artest admittedly was feeling silly after Monday's practice. Recalling what he considers the best fight he had seen in a training camp or practice, Artest said, "I think it was when Vitaly (Potapenko) smacked Mike (Bibby) in the head."

"What?" Bibby demanded. "That never happened. That must have been one of those times Ron blacked out. You know he blacks out 75 percent of the time. He probably didn't take his medicine this morning."

Bibby is quickly again becoming one of my favorite players. Remember his smackdown of Charles Barkley in 2004? It was a pregame interview on TNT. Chuck said something about the Kings not being built to win a title. Bibby asked Chuck what he knew about winning titles. It was awesome.

Re: Another KT-Reef Tussle

I'm waiting to be convinced that a guy who is at best an average shooter, has below-average court vision, doesn't play well with his back to the basket, and who seems always out of sync with his teammates is a good choice for our starting 4.

I know KT is a hustler, a rebounder, and pretty good defender, but his offensive liabilities and his selfishness are pretty big negatives.

Reef is just a better player and the numbers prove it.

But, the truth is that I love to hate KT. Looking forward to your analysis.

Re: Another KT-Reef Tussle

I remember that interview with CB and I will 100% agree that that was awesome. I even remmeber the "guys" in the studio giving Barkley some flack from Bibby's comment. MB10 and Shaq should go at one another in an improv battle on who can deliver the best quote. I include Shaq for my favorite bball interview quote is, "one lucky shot deserves another." If you will remember the context of the game that is an all-time classic.
