Tuck compared to Draymond Green, really?

[DaddyChoc]

Doris said Geno calls her that... after all that talk about comparisons to the men?

I would actually compare Morgan to Texas asst coach Tina Thompson.

there are legends on the womens side too... that Syracuse girl (forgot her name, but you know who Im talking about) reminds me of DT

Unfortunately the attention span of the audience will not allow most/many to recall how good Tina Thompson was so that comparison would have been lost.

The comparison was made by Geno, for Morgan and the team's benefit. The audience is not relevant in that context.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say Geno knows his players better than anyone and he likely made that comparison for a reason.

Morgan is solid but not flashy, plays smart, and fills the stat sheet. Sounds like Draymond to me.

I like a Kelly Faris comparison to DG more than any other WBB player, actually. But I don't think Morgan is a bad comparison, and if you're comparing anyone to Draymond (or Morgan, for that matter), it's a nice compliment.

So Geno isn't always right during his pressers... btw people still talk about Russell from 40yrs ago but not Tina from 10yrs ago.
How do people know Draymond Green if they can't stand to watch the showboating NBA smh

That doesn't sound like Tina Thompson?

did I see that Morgan was voted an AA by the John R. Wooden people, so does that put her on the Wall? or is that not a qualifying AA team.

He and CD also compared Stewart to Nowitzki and Durant.

That sort of thing is different from what he was complaining about though. Geno is against people saying stuff like "Yeah, but Durant or even high school boys could destroy any female BB player." He was never against saying stuff like "She's the Kevin Durant [of women's basketball]."

The first one is an absolute comparison, in which case of course the men beat the women. Absolute comparisons are also used to say stuff like "Yeah, but an NBA team could destroy any men's college team," which is equally pointless and silly to say. The other one is a relative comparison, which can convey information when used correctly.

Still, if you'd prefer that he make more comparisons to other female athletes, I encourage you to convince some Horde reporter to confront him about it during a presser. I wouldn't mind hearing his answer to that.

Not everything is an insult. Sigh.

Who's Draymond Green never heard of him?

Tina Thompson's lil brother

Maybe this could be a new Seinfeld episode....... a post about nothing.

Had to look Draymond Green up since I don't watch any NBA to speak of.

Draymond Green is the 2nd most important player for GS, even moreso than Klay Thompson IMO. He usually guards the opponents best player (guards 2-4, but can guard 1's when they switch effectively), leads the team in assists, great shooting percentage, etc. Definitely NOT an insult.
