Oh lord no, I can admit being wrong. Do it quite often. Just don't think that its a slam dunk choice, not when numbers are close across the board.
By the PVFan logic, when of course its not a team he supports, Vasquez shot 21 times tonight, and his team lost, and its easy to get 17 points when you shoot 21 times, and etc etc etc
Of course this time, he was facing triple-teams and was what the entire focus was on stopping since its a team he supports
Here's the problem, the guy probably is the best player in the league. No problem with that, but a big problem with the inability for anybody to have a different opinion when its counter to your favorite team.
If someone has watched Kentucky all year, you could make an argument for Wall or Cousins to be player of the year. Heck you could probably make a good argument for Paterson being the most valuable player. If you watched it today, Cousins wouldn't be in the argument. If you watched them lose earlier this year, you would swear that Dockett was the best player in the league. You had Smith being by far the best player on UT, they boot him off, you think they are dead, yet they still battle and win. It's the same type argument, there are seldom slam dunks. Maybe a players system makes them better, if you watch them every game and someone else a few games, you probably can see the little things they do or if you're against the other team, you see one of their players have a bad game and write them off.
One of the worst things that a lot of us do on here, myself included at times, is taking off our respective glasses and seeing that just because we think something, doesn't make it a slam dunk.
Being a Clintwood fan, going football-wise, I could honestly state that if someone seen Clintwood one game or two, or even a few, they would have thought that a player like Bevel didn't have the year this year that he had last year. Of course last year, he also had another guy on the line like Hull. Being there and seeing what he faced game-in, game-out, I can realize he was better this year. Same idea and I do understand the argument why someone could think he wasn't as good but there is no way to put numbers that make it better. We love to crunch numbers, but we all twist them around to pick the way we want. What is the saying, tell me what numbers you want, I'll find a way to make them fit what you need. Creative accounting, and it works with players.
Again, the guy is probably the POY and it may be a clear choice but when someone who is a fan of the team is the one talking about something being a slam dunk choice, it kind of rings hollow.
