Common Misconceptions

Seeing as home team fans get to see there players/teams play night in and night out, what are some common misconceptions about either your team as a whole, or a specific player on the team that you always here?

 

For example, Chris Bosh is still labelled as a soft jump shooter because of how he played for the first 3 years of his NBA career. People who actually watch Bosh on a consistent know that these statements are both simply false, yet we still constantly hear about how soft he is and what not.

The most common for the Grizzlies BY FAR is the Zach Randolph is lazy and a cancer. I didn't watch him at all in his previous stops but I watch him bust his [expletive] to get rebounds, get contact on both ends and I see him take young players, like Hasheem Thabeet, and mentor them when they make mistakes.

Just based off of what I hear and read:

 

- Wade has absolutely "no help"

- Iverson would have actually been a good pick up.

- Beasley is underachieving.

- Wright "sucks", is a "garbage" player, is a "scrub".

- Q-Rich is a bad defender.

- Alston was a useless signing.

- The Heat have "no bench" (Chalmers, Wright, and Haslem, anyone? Anthony ain't bad, either.)

People, or the American media really, thinking Toronto is basically Yellowknife. I don't know if this applies, but it bugs me how people act like Toronto is the great white north, I mean there isn't even any snow in Toronto lol... sure it isn't Miami but how much worse is it than Boston or New York? Lol....

 

Also I hate when people call Bargnani a bust still or call him a scrub, he is far from a complete player but he is at least a competent player now.

 

I hate when people say Bosh is can't rebound, or only gets his rebounds because how crappy everyone else on the Raps is at rebounding.

The biggest one I hear a lot about is...Greg Oden being a bust, which isn't the case at all. What people outside of the North West (OR, WA, etc) don't see, is the constant updates on our local channel about Oden, about how well he's doing on his rehab and what not. The fact is, Greg Oden is NOT a bust, at all. He's still very young and still has lots of time to develop into the defensive monster he can be as well as able to back down players and get the easy lay up or dunk.
