New ESPN article calling Eric the Clippers X factor. Good to see him finally getting noticed. Some good quotes in here. Also I just found a scouting report in the comments section saying Bledsoe averaged 20.3 points, 9.4 rebounds and 11.5 assists in his senior year of HS leading his team to a state championship, despite not even starting basketball until his sophomore year of HS.
Reason I bump this thread is so that you guys can't get upset for me making new threads. Hope that's appreciated.
Before the game Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said Eric Bledsoe was probably the most underrated played in the league.
“It’s like nobody knows who he is,” Popovich said. “But he’s a hell of a weapon.”
Pop saying what I've been saying for a long time. People don't seem to pay this kid any mind. His two HUGE offensive rebounds tonight in the last two minutes saved the game for sure.

Why do you have yourself convinced you're still "breaking the news" about Bledsoe to fellow ISH posters? Any more than casual NBA fan (which is what most of the regular posters here are) knows how good and how "underrated" he is.
Yet, going back to the playoffs last year, you seem to have to mention "I've been trying to tell people how good he is" in basically every Clippers game thread.

Gotta keep the world updated on E-GAWD. Pop doesn't give compliments often... the compliments he gave Bledsoe tonight are huge. In another quote he said Bledsoe has a huge impact on both ends of the floor.
