@allensmith9879 Год назад

Yep AL was an Allstar top 4/5 physical mid range monster his first few years with Atlanta and he's extended his range considerably & consistently. Every year he's been a formidable asset & play maker on both ends. Match-ups that he's outsized he uses his agility, IQ & discipline. There's really a short list of individuals that are better than AL on both sides of the floor & in those matches he's often able to elevate his game to match or nullify that advantage significantly for his team. Perfect vet to play with Smart, JB&JT.

@Cuhstard Год назад

Can't wait to see what he'll do in the playoffs this year! Out of all the Celtics players last year he was easily their MVP in the playoffs next to Brown. I can't think of another center/power 4 that can catch fire from 3 like big Al.

Isn't 6 man award for a guy that comes off the bench!? Quickly only started 16+ games because guys were hurt and so, in theory, he came off the bench as the 6TH MAN and he showed it in those games that the team needed him. Also Quickly is a menace on defense.
