Message: [QUOTE="champs99and04, post: 2052293, member: 488"] I get his point, and to be honest, I [I]don't [/I]think Adams is a great player...yet. But I can still appreciate the skill set it requires to end up on a list like this, just like you can appreciate - to use his example - Jason Giambi ending up on the same list as Ruth and Williams. Technically, all statistics are arbitrary, so you're not illustrating the degree of greatness so much as you're broadening the scope of his abilities. "Player x can score at the 75th percentile, pass at the 90th percentile, and rebound at the 80th percentile" is no more or less impressive than any other statistic that doesn't have context. I think we're all aware that he's not Jason Kidd quite yet, but perhaps Adams winding up on a list like this demonstrates that, holistically, his impact on the game is rivaled by few others in the country and that it bodes well for our future.
