Lance Stephenson

[S2J]

Tyreke Evans a gap toothed faggot who is the most forgotten player after winning ROY in recent memory..

Lance avg 17,6, and 6 sounds about right though

Literally LOL HAHAHAHAAA

 

[S2J]

Just stumbled onto this

Soooo Marcus Thornton and Rodney Stuckey are making 8 mill/yr...

U crazy if u dont think Stephenson is gon make bank AND that he's a good investment.

He has heart.. He didn't back down or bitch up against Lebron. He took on the challenge. During the whole series he was the only one constantly hustling and competing and bringing energy. Yall mad because he didn't respect Lebron enough. Fuck that I'm going at him. Paul George was all passive not wanting to disrespect Lebron. Lance didn't. He did everything to gain a edge. No one talks about the elbows Lebron was throwing. The kid is a star. The right coach will work wonders with him.

no ones mad, nigga just did stupid ass shit and lebron buss his ass n/h. nigga is a damn clown. u say constantly hustling and competing, yall forgot about not showing up for quarters in a row, constant ball stopping so pg and west cant get the ball, floppin like a fish outta water and having his teammates have to pick his dumb ass up, talkin bout he in lebron head then gettin locked the fuck down, lol @ elbows lebron was throwin, if lance really had heart like yall say that shit wouldnt matter. the right coach might work for bruh, but superstar..ehh.

Wrong.

dude played hard game 1 and 1st quarter of Game 6.

All those other games he looked lost and heart broken on the court.

Fuck what you talking bout.

LBJ snatched his heart game 2 3 4 and 5.

Bruh you must be a Lebron groupie. Dude was the only one playing with energy and heart. Everyone seen that much. It's cool if you don't like dude but don't be bias. Mark Jackson said it numerous times that Lance was the only one playing with energy and heart. Paul George didn't show up to game 5 in the 4th quarter.

 

[infamous114]

Lol he got locked up by Norris Cole.

 

[lamontbdc]

yall niggas sayin he can be a superstar, booooyyy i wish i could see what yall see. shit ion even think bruh nice as tyreke evans tbh

i was thinking he was a poor mans tyreke

yall niggas sayin he can be a superstar, booooyyy i wish i could see what yall see. shit ion even think bruh nice as tyreke evans tbh

i was thinking he was a poor mans tyreke

But Lance has a J!!! Lol Tyreke with a J and intensity (rather than that gap-toothed laziness) would be a star, so what yall sayin??

Thats a testament to Indy's structure. Quick, name me Indy's top 4 offensive priorities, in order.

You cant.

PG is the first option. But he's timid. Then it's...uhhh, David West?? He's an immoblie forward. Either he shoot sthat J, or takes 5 seconds on a backdown. then Hibbert, oh no wait he disappeared, then its Stephenson, but do we want him to score or to facilitate, since our starting "point guard" is not a point guard.

Lance was the only person on that team that can get shyt goin outside the box wise, in a half court set. Lance in a situation where his role is clearly defined would flourish.

 

[Peezy_Jenkins]

tyreke played well in stretches off the bench last year, and i doubt hibbert was a priority ahead of stevenson, even tho im sure he wanted to be.

 

[A$AP_A$TON]

I said Detroit should do a sign and trade Stuckey for Lance. Idk if he Stan Van type of player tho. But I think Stuckey is a dope player, Detroit holding him back because we don't know what to do with him. But I digress.

OKC got two 1st rd draft picks maybe they could send one to Indy for him. But who knows if they could coexist on the court. But just from the aspect of a Lance skill set he would fit well.

Dark horse are the Pelicans or Suns. Don't ask me why.

 

[fightforolddc]

I think they might re-sign him cuz the Pacers like his toughness. Bird been in love with him.

Probably cuz he the only Pacer that'd pull the gully shit Bird did back in the day.

You doubt it...as in you're not sure. Them nggas probly dont know either. Their gift was their curse. Whats the hierarchy? Who gets the right shots and when? Thats how Lance is made to be the fall guy.

 

[S2J]

He's basically Tyreke Evans to me. Great size, strong handle, can create in isolations, good defenders but ball-dominant as hell and can stagnate an offense. Only difference is Lance is just more enigmatic.

You could have just described Dwayne Wade. What seperates players is the confidence the player has and the confidence others have in him

You hear people say 'such n such is xyz with heart/confidence' all the time, so if u ask me Tyreke Evans with heart AND a J is a potential star

Wade doesn't need isolation to score, a lot of his buckets come from cutting and posting up. Plus he's a much better defender than both of em.

I'm refering to pre-Lebron Wade. Wade was another example of basically the SG and PG for this team. And there was nothing wrong with that. When it works, no one complains.

There's a difference between doing that because you have to and doing it because that's the only way you can score. Evans and Stephenson are part of the latter.

 

[Peezy_Jenkins]

Lance is the fall guy for his recent antics(talking shit then folding, flopping, etc) niggas been shittin on Hibbert for over 2 seasons now, I been saying that nigga shouldn't b asking for the ball like that

Again, the Evans comparison simply does not fly.

Evans this year shot 43% and 22% from 3.

Lance shot 49% and 35% from 3.

Then some will say, 'Well maybe his fg% is inflated b/c he played with a better team'

Well PG also shot 43% this year. Danny Granger when he was in Lance's role, as an ALL STAR, shot barely over 40%

Even if you disregard the fg's%, Lance being capable of knocking down the open 3 completely dismisses the claim "thats the only way he can score". And he actually creates off the dribble more than shoots. He's a much better finisher than Tyreke, mainly b/c he's stronger. Then him being a better shooter...that argument is dead.

Born Ready and Westbrook in the same backcourt? There'd be a physical altercation between those two before the season even started.

Thank you Lance was the only Pacer that got his own shot consistently. The ball wasn't moving because the Pacers half court offense was a piece of shit and stagnant. Lance at least tried to work the pick and roll and make the correct pass when Miami trapped. What also killed Pacers was no real 3 point shooting. Lance was breaking down the Heat so well that had to put the quicker Norris Cole to try to neutralize his probing the heat defense. Plus Hibbert stone hands and slow gather for wide open layups that allowed Miami to recover.

I noticed this A LOT. Him w/ the poor body language when Hibbert cant catch a pass or Hill passes up a good 3.

Im tellin u man, a 6'5 230 SG who can knock down the j, create, etc. These nggas nitpickin. A good coach is in heaven w/ that skill-set.

For some reason, probly bc he seems older, people dont look at him as a young player. Look what Bledsoe is doin w/ starter's minutes after showing glimpses. Look what Harden is doing.

 

[BDBIID]

I believe in Lance abilities. If there was basketball stock I would put stock in him being an multiple all-star moving forward.

Either way this thread def gonna be one of those threads that's gonna be re-upped yearly for years to come.
