Amen to this!!!

I wasn't all that impressed with James. Yeah he's a great high school player, but there is no way that he has the game right now to go to the NBA. His defense is just atrocious. He rarely hustled back on defense, just hung around the time line wating for a steal and dunk. Oak hills guard just blew by him when they tried to press. His shot isn't all that great, and he gets way to damn excited about making a ten foot jumper.

Didn't follow any of this prodigy activity except this thread... a little too busy. However, it sounds like it might have been fun to step in and give him a "T" for Tarzan.... on national TV.

Probably would have been a career defining moment! Or at least get in the picture and laugh at him.... here come the elephants.

Maybe do it back at him?? ... no me Tarzan you Jane

Career defining moment is sure right. Either everyone would say "wow - he has cojones and should be working the NBA" or they'd say "who is that idiot and why is he ruining a good TV game?"

Sure wouldn't want to be the one to try! (Although in my non-televised games, I would certainly toss a few his way for behavior like that.)
