Bob Knight calls out Calipari

[gracefor24]

Calipari was not charged with any NCAA rules violations at either UMass or Memphis.

Knight is just a bitter bag of wind and the Calipari haters are jealous of his success.

In real news:

John Calipari on verge of eclipsing Adolph Rupp for best start

LOL, at least Knight can still talk about his accomplishments because they are still official. Calipari has 0 Final Four's!! LOL.

Go and see what players in the NBA average at least 20 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists per game. There are only 4 of them, including the 3 people you mention.

:ez-laugh::ez-laugh:

Tyreke averages 20 5 and 5
LBJ averages 29 7 and 8
Wade averages 26.6 5 and 6

Tyreke is like a poor mans Andre Iguodala at this point.

this argument isn't even worth it. YOu can go ahead and put him in a class with those guys.

I will wait until he has played in more than half a season to even consider it.
I can't even fathom...

You want to crown him??? Crown his ass then!!!

I'm not putting him in that class, his statistics do. Anybody who follows the NBA knows the 20, 5 & 5 club is very prestigious and anybody who makes it is a stud. The list of people talented enough to ever do it is very small. To do it as a rookie is even more amazing since Oscar Robertson, Michael Jordan and Lebron James are the only 3 to ever do it.

Your point is valid about him having to finish the season in the class.

 

[MNsooner]

There is a remarkably large difference between James's numbers and Tyreke's. The numbers don't put him in that class. The numbers indicate he is the best Rookie, and a great young player. Anything else is hyperbole.

All true. He is a stud and no one was arguing it, but he isn't in their class now, he is in the same class they were as rookies. Also, he's only played in a little over 20 games.

The point is, bigabd, came over here lying and trying to make others look bad and succeeded in making himself look bad.

Tyreke Evans is a stud and if he continues to develop will definitely be a multiple All Star.

 

[SoonerBounce13]

also, I think I would have to take Jennings over Evans at this point.

Er…Didn't this start out as a thread about Bobby Knight and John Calipari?

 

[seniorsooner]

Yeah, ABD ruined the thread.

Yeah it was hijacked for no good reason too.

Calipari responds.......

"What I can tell you is, I'm a big fan, respect him as a basketball coach, always have," Calipari said on Friday. "Matter of fact, I took my (Memphis) staff down to Texas Tech, spent a day, watched him practice. (He) helped me with the dribble-drive — made it even better. (I) don't agree with what he said, but it doesn't change how I feel about him."

[Tony]

Heh. Zzzzzing!

 

[MNsooner]

That was a very classy response to a personal attack.

 

[seniorsooner]

The classy response is because he knows there's no use in arguing with someone that is telling the truth.

 

[Tony]

I don't think he's going for a classy response. The "Bob Knight welcomed me to Lubbock" part is Calipari poking Knight, not being gracious. He is essentially calling him a hypocrite.

Exactly!

 

[Sooner23]

I don't think this is the last time Calipari will comment on this. He loves to hear himself talk too much.

 

[sanguinetti]

getting multiple programs on probation never stopped Lou Holtz or Jimmy Johnson.

I enjoy RMK as an announcer, won't ever like the guy. respect his accomplishments, sure....like, no.
