Way to go Anthony Parker

[ghunt]

For what it's worth, I just love watching AP so far this season with Cleveland. As of this moment he is 8 for 10 from three on the season, and you have to like hearing the Bradley references--great PR, and just nice to see a Brave make good I like a couple games ago when they were joking, and maybe half serious, about a potential AP/Candice vs. Reggie/Cheryl 2-on-2 ;-)

I agree that AP is representing BU well.

Not to pop your bubble, but after tonight's game, he's now 17-28 from 3pt land this year. He was 3-3 tonight.

That is what I get for actually listening to the announcers ;-)

Just a few props for some ex-BU players...

Anthony Parker is indeed 17-28 on 3-pointers..he is clearly one of the league's best and also does all the other things well.

Danny Granger had 31 last night and is one 3-pointer shy of taking over 2nd place all time among Pacers in 3-pointers made. He's still a few behind the all-time leader Reggie Miller. DG is averaging 24.2 ppg, 6.7 rpg.
Meanwhile- more for those Tyler Hansbrough doubters. Psycho-T only played 16 minutes but had 11 pts/8 rebs and these numbers...
"don't begin to tell the story of how many banged-up bodies he caused on
the Warriors' bench. He drew countless fouls on his opponents"

Zach Andrews is averaging 10.2 ppg, 8 rpg and even hit his ONLY 3-pointer for his Sapnish team Huesca that has now taken over 1st place at 5-1!

Theron Wilson is his team's leader in almost everything...
14.6 ppg, 8.2 rpg, 2.0 spg...

Aba Koita has helped his French team to 1st place and a 9-1 record averaging 15.3 ppg/6.3 rpg

Ed Cage 13.3 ppg, 4.8 rpg

I too have enjoyed watching Anthony this season.

When I heard he signed with Cleveland I thought (given his age) he might be relegated to a bench role but he has been starting and getting more minutes than anyone except Mo Williams and Lebron James. They seem to do a lot of clearing out for Lebron and old man Shaq, so he doesn't get all that many shots, but as noted he has been great from behind the line.

A couple days I compared AP's NBA numbers during his 30's to those of Hersey Hawkins at the same age and noticed that Parker has actually put up better numbers. Let me say as emphatically as possible that I am a HUGE fan of Hersey and I mention this not to put him down, just to note how unlikely that would have seemed when Anthony Parker ended his first tour in the NBA.

Thanks for the update. However, I do not consider Danny Granger a "real" Ex-Brave player. The guy left and graduated at another school (I assume he graduated as he was a smart kid). Nothing against him (and God bless him for being a good citizen and all that), but he just is not a "once a Brave always a Brave" player to me. He deserted the college, period.

While I agree with you on this, recall that Bradley was Danny's only offer, and had not Coach Molinari recruited him to Bradley, it's quite possible he would have ended up playing at a low level, and we'd have probably never heard of him. Bradley did give him a chance to develop into the player he became, and is a major part of why he's playing in the NBA now.
