Related: About this forumYa know who else didn't have classic form?
Bill Russell, that's WHO!
He didn't have the skills that were valued in a baller at the time.
All he had was an indomitable will to WIN.
10 rings in 11 seasons.
That's what I foresee for my man TEBOW.
BANK ON IT!

I have never even said that he would ALWAYS BE a bad player. I've simply said that he's not as good as he thinks he is -- yet. And I hope he has learned something from all this -- something that will make him WORK AT being a better player and a more unselfish leader.

If he remains in fantasy world, let's hope he remains mediocre.
