Actually that's the difference for more reasons than sarcasm. I've 
always thought that if Antoine had had a real respected vet leader 
around from day one to keep him in his place while still letting him 
do the things he does do well, even with Pitino here and the 
inevitable conflicts, I think his career would have been very 
different. Worst thing that could have happened to him was to walk 
into ML's open arms and then become the center of the team. Probably 
the most frustrating thing about him is that he actually is a natural 
leader who is quite intelligent in both a general and basketball 
sense, but whose ego won't let him apply that to his own play/game.

You as SF, eh, Mark... so have you been lying to us all these years 
and your name is really spelled with an a rather than an e and you're 
another part of Rick's attempt to become the father of the NBA (he 
doesn't have any more sons to offer, does he?)
