Lets talk about Corey Maggette

[StroShow4]

I've always wanted to see Corey Maggette play in a pickup game. What could he possibly do without officials or freethrows? Diving on the floor doesn't do any good when all you get is the ball up top.

I have always thought of him as a worse version of Jerry Stackhouse

Good at drawing and-1's.

dude is garbage

[nbacardDOTnet]

Ball hog.
KG had some great quotes about him and his obsession with numbers.

Stephen Curry didn't know that.

Lebron James without the marketing

Link?

Whoops.

Five games, five Golden State losses and a more than 2:1 turnover-to-assist ratio. Maggette's selfish play hasn't gone unnoticed by other players. According to sources, after the final buzzer against Boston, Celtics forward Kevin Garnett turned to Maggette and shouted, "Way to get your numbers."

"He just puts his head down and goes to the basket," an Eastern Conference scout said. "He doesn't even look to pass."

Word from team sources is that the Warriors are already regretting signing Maggette to a five-year, $50 million deal last offseason. When Monta Ellis returns to the lineup early next year, Golden State will have to figure out how to spread the wealth among three players (Ellis, Jamal Crawford and Maggette) who aren't very good at spreading it.

The second comment made me laugh on that link.

"I have looked closely and its not Lebron James."

WHY is he so underrated?

dude is not underrated. He is recognized for what he is, a gifted athlete who makes incredibly poor decisions on the court.

[qrich]

He is/was amongst the leagues best at getting to the line but that is about it. He doesn't know what passing means, he puts less effort on defense than Sam Cassell, and won't sacrifice any playing time or a shot for the team to win. Not to mention his injury issues.

I was glad when he left the Clippers, only disappointed that Dun couldn't S&T him for anything.

[G-train]

Then why was he constantly passed up for awards? He averaged 20/10 his first 8 seasons and all he has to show for it is 1 All-NBA 2nd team.

He was in MVP discussions one season there.

[D.J.]

Yes, ONE season. 20/10 and not even so much as an All-NBA 3rd team outside of '06?

[The_Yearning]

Dude is built like a tank... Orlando should take him.

[Fatal9]

His style of play is a disgrace to the game and he's always injured.
