The IT story is so hilarious to me, not because of IT, but because of people's reactions to IT. They just couldn't believe what they were seeing. The diamond was right there for them to grab, but they refused it because they saw him as a lump of coal. Then after years they grudgingly begin to see him as a lump of zinc, the little guy that can come off the bench. Now the adjectives used to describe him by HOFers are "great," "amazing" and "brilliant." And still in Kings land we hear the occasional: if he just came off the bench for us we might still have him and everything would be hunky dory. No, you still don't get it: IT was right from the very beginning and you were wrong. You were selling him short. The guy is an excellent starting point guard in this league and he's writing his own history, not you, and certainly not the clueless ones that sent him packing in Sacto and Phoenix. 53 points on 33 shots, with 20 points in the 4th quarter.
