Gas was hitting record highs before Obama took office. http://money.cnn.com/2007/05/21/news/economy/record_gas_monday And it continued to increase. Did it double in price? I wasn't aware that it was at $6.40 a gallon now. It hit a low, then bumped back up. If I recall correctly, it was well over $4/gal (the average) back in the summer of 2008, higher than it has ever been, and that was pre-Obama.

That crossbar has been taking a beating today.

lol

Oh god, no. May have to rip the radio out of my car.

That they CAN alter prices. Are we asking what policies and actions, specifically? I mean, what happens if we start drilling? What happens if we drop a bomb on Saudi Arabia, for some crazy ass reason? Either way, the recession brought gas prices down from over $4/gal (summer 2008) to what...near $1.60/gal in January 2009? I know it's hard to admit, but the economy has been gradually doing better...and for that reason, gas prices are going to increase. At that point, blame starts to head out East, specifically the Middle East, and that would be a reason why he would ever back away from that stance.

Nothing really stands out, aside from the efficiency, and back in the 80's and early 90's, guards were FAR more efficient than they have been since the zone became legal. I actually found 74 instances of it, in Jordan's era (well, from 1984-96), that a player averaged 15+ PPG and shot 50% or better from the floor...while it's not as common today. Iverson wasn't a great defensive player, but he did show very solid defensive ratings (I know you like those) and he was a hell of a ball thief, and I'd say that AI was a better defender than Clyde (not by much, because I really don't care about the defensive ratings in their primes, think they were altered quite a bit by their teammates, but whatever). So you have a better scorer, arguably better defender, and a guy that carried his team on his back much more. Iverson got to the line far more, and easier, than Drexler, and even passed the ball slightly better (although Clyde was an underrated passer, nobody gives him credit for it). I really don't know about Gervin. To be honest, that's a coin flip to me...but the Iceman basically did everything that Clyde did, but scored the ball better. I'm sure Clyde had more range on his shot, but Gervin was the better defender. I don't know.

someone on LakersNation found the vid of this

1) Jordan 2) Kobe 3) West 4) Wade 5) Iverson Gervin would be 6th, Drexler 7th, on my list.
