'tis a long season, but I can't wait for it to get started.
Look, first it's "meanness" two "n's." Second, I already blogged on this early in the post season. They don't need selfishness, they need a "killer instinct." Big difference. And as far as comparing Roy to Kobe, that is a spit in the face of any passionate Blazer fan. That's like telling a Bears fan that Cutler is almost as good as Farve. Or telling Larry Bird he was almost as good as Magic. You might as well just shoot your reputation in the foot. I get what you're saying, I really do. But I think you need to explore it a little deeper than the surface, and you need to recognize your audience buddy. Kobe is a terriffic basketball player, but I would never put him on my team because of WHO Kobe is. So when you compare Roy to him you have to separate the PERSON and the skills. The only reason you "lack better terms," is because those are the values you hold. I personally, hold the outside role-models of my children to higher standards.
