from ghetto rat to gangsta to millionaire

[Josh Ozersky]

I cannot understand the hostility on this board to Telfair.  Have any
of you even seen the guy play?  Even as a rookie, his defense and
shooting got better and better, and as for him playing point in the
NBA, he's already shown flashes of dominating the position just
with his passing and court vision.  How many true natural point
guards are in the league right now capable of that?  Kidd, Nash,
Chris Paul, Tony Parker, maybe one or two others.  Foye was not
a natural PG even at Nova.

Telfair may not pan out, but given his career to date in the NBA,
his injury history, and the makeup of the team is on, there is no
reason right now to doubt his talent.  He can do things with the
ball from a passing perspective that you can't teach.
