Re: Walker/Garnett?

["hironaka@xxxxxxxxx"<hironaka@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'm not saying Antoine's better than Garnett. 

(Character-wise, I do like Antoine more than KG. That 20-
10-5 ad Garnett did was kind of creepy, for one thing. 
And I love Antoine's character a lot, in general.)

But if McHale wanted to trade Garnett for Antoine right 
now, I think McHale would have to be insane. 

It won't happen in my lifetime. Garnett is probably's 
God's idea of the perfect basketball specimen. He might 
blow-up. But right now he's remarkable. 

The point I addressed was that it was unfair CNNSI to 
write that Antoine was "a joke of an All Star". 

People tend to overlook or trivialize his production for 
the one glaring stat (FG%). I'm sorry that wasn't clear, 
and thanks for letting me clarify that.
