There has been ten seasons since Stanley last played for St. John's, there is no disputing that. I can count them out for you if that makes it easier. But just for Fun lets say I give you the extra year and count Stanley, I give you a "2 guard" who started along side Hardy and Horne and count DJ, I give you a guy who never played a single conference game for St. John's and count Lindsey. That would put Patterson at a measly 6th place in the last 11 years. What a terrible rebounder he must have been.
Since you have proven how impeccable your math skills are maybe you can answer this. What do you get when you add one boon companion, one nit wit, and a few mis speled werds for comedic effect? I have no idea, but if the one eyed man is king, the blind man such as myself is a peasant, then the answer is somewhere below that.
So back to the case at point, I stated that Avery Patterson was one of the best rebounders I'VE seen at St. John's. A poster here once said "de gustibus non est disputandum" meaning that in matters of taste there can be no disputes. Which just goes to prove my theory that even he doesn't believe half the stuff that comes out of his mouth.
Good grief, where to start.
IIFP, you said ten "years" not ten "seasons." To the extent that you are pleading guilty to being a sloppy writer, I sentence you to hang.
IISP, Rysheed Jordan is a better rebounder than Patterson. Darryl Hill was a better rebounder than Patterson - Darryl Hill was a great rebounder. Malik Boothe - all 4 foot 2 of him - was a better rebounder than Patterson. Quincy Roberts, Cedric Jackson and Ryan Williams were all better rebounders than Patterson.
Credit where due, Patterson was a better rebounder than Larry Wright, TyShwan Edmondson, the speedy Malik Stith, and possibly even Paris Horne.
And finally, I throw that Latin crap around all the time: it impresses the rubes. But de gustibus etc doesn't mean what you think it does, you having spent your life steeping in post modern moral relativist horseshit. It does not that mean that every apprehension of reality is equal, or that there are no facts. If it did there would be no reason for discourse and rhetoric; if it did it would mean - as some beleive - that Sean Evans was the best PG in SJU history and that Charlie Parker played the tenor saxophone; it would mean that Carmine is as accomplished a singer as Rene Fleming. That's not what it means. It means something far different.
To me, anyway.
In any event, I didn't say Avery Patterson was a terrible rebounder, or that he wasn't the best you'd ever seen. I said that - in my opinion obviously - your eyesight blows. That's something else entirely.
