which you have FAILED to do, dogg. PG is playing himself further away from your arbitrary classification with each game.

no, they don't. suggesting that PG is descendant of derrick mcckey is flat out dumb. he plays nothing like him. they don't share the same level of athleticism or passion for the game.

so, something can exhibit properties of another thing(s) and
STILL be CLASSIFIED as something else entirely? again, based on YOUR definition, i can make a case for ANY player in NBA history being Cold Medicine.

oh.

yeah, i don't remember those. how do they differ?
