Perfect comparison
I see no difference between Kobe and Bayless. They are pretty much the exact same person. I think they may be long lost brothers.

Translation
“Bayless is developing his weak hand, just like Kobe has. He is also fiercely competitive. Coincidentally, Baless technically fell to the 13th pick like Kobe. I realize Kobe and Bayless play differently and I’m not trying to suggest they’re the same but do you see some of that Kobe-ness in Bayless? I’m just asking. P.S. I’m 13.”

After
internally chuckling everytime somebody misspelled “Jerryd” or “Bayless” I finally did it myself. I guess it’s bound to happen to all of us at some point.

My pet peeve...
Is using “your” in place of “you’re”...and I let one of those slip through myself.
I’m just hoping I never use the dreaded “loose” as in loose my marbles. :-)

I don't know, but here is some helpful info on posting images:
img src=”http://www.pictureplace.com/images/picture.jpg” width=”300px” Add < & > on each end of it
Make sure you have a .gif or .jpg URL address. Any other URL address means the image is linked into the HTML.
If you need to find the .gif or .jpg URL on a page, just right click on the image. Select Properties (in IE) or View Info (in Netscape). A small window will appear in either case with the fully qualified URL.
Sizing the image:
If the image is huge, just resize it using the width= tag. 150px is a good starting point; 470px is the maximum width that won’t mess up the margins. You don’t need to use the height= tag, the browser will set the proportions accordingly.
If you need a place to host your images, you can sign up for a free account at Shutterfly or Photobucket. Both are free. Instructions for Shutterfly are here. Be advised that images displayed from Shutterfly seem to disappear after a few days.

That really ruined the playoffs for me
No commentator had the guts to make jokes about Kobe staying in a Colorado hotel for the first extended time since the non-incident when they played the Nuggets. Not even Chuck at 1 am.
Coach, I promise I wasn't running hard ...
Ok I'll bite....
Once you get past the fact the Rex isn’t Kobe and never will be, he does possess the drive and desire. While I think most folks understand the importance of this, the ability sometimes gets trivialized as something that can be turned on or off, or developed where it is lacking.
I think this is the same as saying somebody with a 32” vertical leap would be so much better, “if they would just go ahead and use a 44” vertical leap!”.
Same statement as, “he has all the physical gifts, but if he would just get motivated he could be the next Jordan, Kobe, etc”. Heck if that ever came true we would have long since forgotten who Jordan was in the wake of all his superior successors.
His apparent motivation (we’re still guessing at alot of this) is what has me most excited about Rex joining the team.

The Title Makes BEedgers look Stupid
Come on, comparing him to Kobe during Summer League? Talk about getting ahead of ourselves.
Sure, he’s got that drive and that killer instinct, but give me a break.

no way would they give us Vince Carter for iDea
This is like one of the dumbest trade proposalz ever. iDea has had some great posts, but hes still unproven, He hasent even made a thousand points yet. No gm is gonna give us an allstar quality player with out a little more in return. They would at least want one of our big three, either Dave, Ben or Mortimer in a strait up trade. wich just wouldnt make any sence for us. Vince doesnt fit the culture near as well, and would likely detract from the cohesiveness thats made our team so successful. This trade proposal FAILS. But maybee it can be salvaged, to play devils advacate.
Short of the systematic assination of the ENTIRE fanbas, Kevy (diobolical genious) might be able to package some young talent with an inflated salery to make it work. Maybee any two of
BlazerFan1, who is a great looking prospect, plays with a lot of emotion, and is very loyal to the team-intangibles that translate verry well,
iDea,- who althoe doesnt seem to get alot of burn for his length of time on the teem is proving himself very efficient in making his points and not afreaid of contact, he also has a good overall understanding of the game,
nightbluefruit, who is one of the headiest post players is the game today, feircely tanacious, and competative, who can also play the post both with artistic finness or just hammer it home,
plus
tominhawiis’ expiering contract.
This is a trade that saticefies both sides and works with the trade machine.
All that said, I would still rather not do the trade, becouse I like our team how it is.

I love Bayless and think he’s going to be great.
The title just makes us look like blind homers. I’ve always thought of us BEdgers as having high bball IQ’s. We know the game and it shows. Comparing our rook to the best player in the League after 2 summer league games makes us look silly.
Witty Unpredictable Talent and Natural Game
Silly?
In whose eyes, people who read other blogs on SBN? You’re going to throw a fellow Blazer fan (and a potentially youthful one at that) under the bus for making us look bad to.. BEdge-reading fans of different teams? That seems mighty self-centered and lacking in self-esteem, in this BEdger’s opinion.

Totally lacking self esteem?
Man, that hurts.
But it was funny and gave me a chuckle.
Witty Unpredictable Talent and Natural Game
Is there a way to combine our players to make K*be or Lebron?
So, Bayless may or may not equal K*be, but that doesn’t mean we can’t get there!
Bayless + Oden – Blake = Kobe?
Roy+Oden-Martell = Lebron?
Joel-Roy+Outlaw = Larry Bird?
The street lights is on.
haha
I love it. But how much Roy does Joel have in him to subtract?
How about
Outlaw + Webster + Oden’s beard = LeBron
by MavetheGreat on Jul 18, 2008 1:25 PM PDT up reply actions
If you actually tied Outlaw and webster together
and then taped Oden’s beard to them
and then shot them out of a cannon
you might come close to Lebron.
WWSBD?
by nightbluefruit on Jul 18, 2008 1:28 PM PDT up reply actions
I think you have to use all of Oden's face in addition to his beard
because Travis and Martell are still too baby-faced to look like Lebron

no, no, that kant be right.

I'm not exactly sure how the process works
I think I was going for late career Larry Bird when he could barely move. So take Joel, who is a big man and obviously not as quick as a forward, then subtract away Roy’s abilities, like his smooth crossover and ability to get into the paint and then add outlaw back for some clutch shooting and PRESTO, you have Larry Bird circa 1992.
I think there should be a Blazer’s Edge challenge using this kind of system. Every day a new NBA player is chosen and we all submit what combination of our players would end up equaling said player. Equations should be judged on plausibility, originality and strength of their argument supporting their submission.
The street lights is on.
This is amazing, I want more combinations
would the universe end if God’s contract expired? Or would we just be like a team with no coach/GM/owner?
The street lights is on.
Wow, there sure isn't a shortage of fan-posts today
I have my sidebar set to 20, and I still can’t make it past 24 hours.
FANPOST! FANPOST!!! FANPOST!!!!!
So much for the Junk Drawer thinning out new diaries.
Size Matters
Bayless is listed at 6’3” 200 lbs. If you were to see somebody on the MAX that size, it wouldn’t really seem that he is that big of a guy. Kobe is 6’6” and 220 lbs. If you were to see somebody that big on the street you would say “that is one big dude”. Kobe’s size allows him to do things that Bayless can’t (like post people up). Therefor Bayless does not equal Kobe
Bayless is 6'2". Kobe isn't 6'6" either though, he's more like 6'4"...
"He shoots....................... he scores!!!"
Reference:
TIMBO’S SUBJECTIVE GUIDE TO NBA PLAYER HEIGHTS.
"He shoots....................... he scores!!!"
Man I'm not trying to say something to put anyone down but...
What kind of comparison is that? It’s just begging to be laughed at. No Kobe and Bayless are nothing alike. These topics bother me because sometimes these get posted on forums and other fans start to get the idea Blazer fans are not knowledgeable. This is up there with that thread started on the GS state of mind about trading Oden for Monta.
What's with All the Jerks?
First of all, who cares?
Second of all:
other fans start to get the idea Blazer fans are not knowledgeable
You know what, whoever posted this IS a Blazer fan, I’d have to guess (his name sort of implies it, don’t you think?). This would mean that, yes, some Blazer fans aren’t, in your estimation, knowledgeable. Can you handle that? Why not just deal with the fact that there are people out there that aren’t as informed as you are on particular topics or who have differing opinions?
I mean, this kid is 13 (link) for heaven’s sake. 13 as in, last year he wasn’t even a teenager yet. He took the time, effort and courage to type this up and share it with the world (something I see you haven’t yet done, by the way). While I’m generally for keeping BEdge fanposts to levels of decency in writing and content, I also think this is why you often find people here who say “I wrote my first fanpost and people jumped all over me – no way am I doing that again!” – is that the culture we’re looking for? I’ve slammed people in the past, I admit it, but I’ve also seen far worse and think Blazerholic deserves a little less ball-kicking.
BH5 – keep those posts comin’, dude. You’ve got at least one set of ears.

It's already getting bad defending the Blazers
People talking about how hyped Oden is and how he hasn’t done anything. Now there is this Bayless hype. I was very happy we got him on draft night, another KP steal in my view. I see him as the 4th pick in that draft. Doesn’t mean I’m going to start a thread comparing him to Kobe after 3 good summer league games. I guess this is a new day and age though.
There’s a lot to be excited about but the comparisons are out of control.
