a sign that any player, including OJ, is the "best" at anything in the NBA is consistency. OJ's inconsistency has been, at least for me, the most frustrating aspect of his game.
OJ's talent, especially on the offensive end, is without question. He has been touted as a "baller" since the 8th grade, but OJ has been up and down, down and up, down down down, a little bit up, down again, and then way up up up.
This is what has frustrated me so much about Juice. We all can see what he CAN do. We just want him TO DO it. And it just baffles many of us when he goes 2 for 15 from the field and misses numerous 3pointers. We all know he can make all of those shots. We all know he flat out "ball."
Here is to OJ keeping it going. He was great in the last 2 games. Just keep it up and do it for maybe..say... 5 whole games before we anoint him the best shooting guard in the NBA. LOL Just kidding, but seriously, let him become more consistent and Im sure he is going to sign a really nice contract with somebody after the season ends.
Kobe went 3-21 two games ago and he missed his first 15 shots of the game. The game before that Kobe went 7-25, and three games before that he went 5-17, but no one is calling Kobe inconsistent. I understand that Kobe is more consistent than OJ has been this season, but OJ proved he can be pretty consistent his first two seasons when he averaged 18 PPG. Also, OJ is a much better player now than he was in his first two seasons, so I don't see why he couldn't become consistent again as a starter for the grizzlies or for another team.
