I know I'm generalizing when i say "you guys" and "hawks fans" but still.
YES OR NO
- Weren't you Hawks fans claiming Josh Smith was a star in the making or rising star?
- Was it not on this very board that you cats claimed you wouldn't give up Josh Smith For Carmelo Anthony?
- Many times i would hear random Hawks fans talking about "..J-Smoove is the best player on the team. He just doesn't know it yet.." when speaking of a team that had Joe Johnson and Al Harford on the roster. Was I hearing voices???
Say what you want about Joe's shortcomings when it comes to rising to the occasion in the playoffs, dude was a legit top 5 if not top 3 SG in the league at the time. He was simply not D-Wade of Kobe.
Being the heart and soul of your team does not make you the best player on the team. And that's all Josh ever was. Some of you guys overvalued Smith to the point where people wouldn't dare talk shyt about him at some point. It wasn't until Woodson left and Joe left that people saw Josh for the garbage that he really was.
BTW, i clearly remember that clown on 92.9 on the weekend taking out of his ass saying, and i quote "Josh Smith is the closest thing to Lebron in terms of the complete package..." and then some of the local clones calling in to agree with him. I was driving t stone mountain that saturday morning. Had to pull over to the side of the highway to laugh because i damn near choked on my chicken biscuit.
