Porter quote on Oregonlive article

[ducksrock]

I never knew casting contested 40 footers was being passive. I must need to rethink my life

But, if ya think about it...He is one hell of a lot better player than you are...Try playin him one on one....And then talk smack....

Was this thread labeled who takes who in basketball?

I'm just commenting on the absolute absurdity of his comments.

Point being..if u can do better....show your stuff with the team..if not....stop complaining about an individual player.....I have played against past players on sundays at the pit..and even those that ride the bench, can kick the asses of the common joes....they try the best they can...dont hassle an individual player for trying to play ball....

Dude really? So because I'm not as good an athlete as the players here, I'm also not allowed to critique their play? Ridiculous. I'm sure that all the athletes work their asses off, and I'm sure they can beat up on the rec circuit kids (though in my day at the Rec I saw bball players lose pickup games every now and then). Thing is they should be able to do that, they are on scholarship to play the sport after all right? No one is criticizing TP's effort, but we don't have to be all-stars to say that recklessly hucking up 30 footers is not solid play. Believe it or not, some people really know sport, without being the best athletes.

ducksrock. Chill buddy, he wasn't dissing his skills. I think Porter meant being passive when it comes to attacking the lanes myself...
