Legacy Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 Cleveland Cavaliers center Shaquille O'Neal was sitting in his locker after Monday's victory over the Golden State Warriors discussing the game, and out of nowhere, O'Neal proclaimed Warriors guard Monta Ellis the seventh-best guard in the game. O'Neal is known for outlandish rhetoric, so a skeptical reporter asked the well-traveled O'Neal, a self-proclaimed "student of the game," to name the six guards he places before Ellis. "Kobe, LeBron, D-Wade, Roy, and one more, that cat from Sacramento, Tyreke Evans," O'Neal said. Never mind that that's only five. O'Neal, after all, said he once made 1,600 minus 800 minus 200 on his SAT. So we'll cut him some slack. The point is that even without Shaq's unsolicited knighting, Ellis now has arrived among the upper echelon of his contemporaries ... and very few know anything about him.Source Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check my Stats Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 Considering how bad the Warriors are it isn't all that impressive as it normally would be. He is a good player but he is definitely not a franchise player IMO, he is also playing in a system that allows him to get A LOT of points quick. He also plays 42 minutes a game that is a [expletive]load, damn... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
