    I love that Antoine is calling out the disrespect towards Paul Pierce. You gotta understand Paul never got his just due ever since he came into the league. He was overlooked when he was drafted and overlooked amongst the other stars in the league. It wasn't until KG and Ray Allen got to Boston that people started to notice him. You always hear about players or teams playing down to their competition. Paul Pierce was one of the few who played up to his competition. No matter who it was. Never dodged the smoke and played like he was the best player on the court.

    Antoine was so ahead of his time with his style of play in the early 2000s. He was the ultimate stretch 4 at a time when bigs weren’t jacking up 3s like they do now.
    Now, you got a whole bunch of PFs and SFs out there playing like Antoine Walker.

    Kentucky started Epps at PG in the '96 tournament and Pope came off the bench. So they were starting two typical guards (PG & 2G) along w/ McCarty & Walker at forward, and Anderson as a swingman. Made them more athletic, more uptempo, and demons on defense. They scored 86 points vs. LSU in the 1st half.
