I'm not saying he was a lock to be in the HOF and while he was a great shooter its hard to imagine him putting up the numbers he is in the NBA but I do remember thinking that he should go #2 overall.

Obviously knowing what we know now he goes #1 easily and if you remember that draft then you'd know that no one was thinking that because Blake as a prospect was off the charts as the clear #1.

Curry should get massive props for improving as an NBA player. No doubt. Teams should also be criticized for passing on him, imo.

Only the Twolves deserve the criticism because Curry was also a perfect pairing next to Rubio, even on paper. Everyone ahead of them had some sort of reason why they drafted the player they did before Curry, even Thabeet. But the Wolves opted for Flynn. It was weird, but joyous for me all the same.

Not 1 easy. That is certainly debateable between him and Harden.

And see, I don't think it is fair to go back with the advantage of hindsight and criticize the teams who passed. There are always players who outperform expectations in every draft and top picks who underperform.

Criticizing the Thabeet and Flynn picks are one thing, but Griffin and Rubio were better prospects and have had fine careers. Every GM in the league would have taken Blake over Curry, and I think most would have taken Rubio.

Your obsession with rainbows has no meaning except to make you look like My Little Pony.

When you stop, I stop. Since it obviously bothers you I suggest you do.
Its how it works; you say something outlandishly gay and I give you a rainbow. Ball's in your court. We can tell how much you hate getting rainbows because you try to strike back any time you get one. Here's a hint though; I couldn't care less. Can't say the same for you.

Then why are you crying about it now?

The game continues. Another outlandishly gay statement receives a rainbow.
Keep crying. You have the emotional maturity of a child, so I have to treat you like a child. When you stop being My Little Pony then the consequences stop and you won't see those rainbows that bother you so much.

do you feel dirty being a white sox fan?

I couldnt even sit in US Cellular with one of my buddies who is a White Sox fan without feeling dirty.

Why not just be a Cubs fan like any semi-respectable Chicagoan?

1. You don't have any buddies. Stop trying to pretend there are people out there that genuinely want to spend time with you.

2. Why are you trying to bring baseball in to another NBA thread?

You hate these rainbows so much yet you continue with your outrageous gay rantings that earn them for you. You cannot possibly believe what you are saying. I keep you dancing on a string because its funny.

Methinks the lady doth protest too much...
You can keep trying but no one believes you. Your actions belie your words. You are furious and only want it to stop.

Then I will stop picking on you. Don't want you to be sad. If you stop the outlandish gay posts the Rainbows stop; simple as that.
