So, as a guy who loves evaluating talent I'm always trying to compare and contrast situations, ability, ceiling, work ethic ,etc to come up a decent idea of what future results of player's will look like.
This one hit me last night... everything isn't perfectly linear, but these two combos have more in common than they are different...
similarities:
- both guards are/were the best at their position
- both forwards are up and coming youngsters who players fear getting posterized by(lets hope Griffin turns out better than Kemp did)
- both on the west coast
- both teams are at their best in one of the primes of the NBA, and unfortunately that means their are dominant teams(Thunder/Heat)(Bulls/Rockets) that have/probably will keep them from winning championships
-Both Guards are tremendous leaders and are known for their on court trash talk
the only big difference I could think of was Paul is a better shooter than Payton, but Payton was better on D... so I claim sematics!
