14. Deron Williams
Only because of conflicting reports about the severity of his sprained ankle. He shouldn't go lower than this. By the way, we need to stop comparing Williams to Paul. It's just dumb. This is not Pacino versus De Niro. This is not Brady versus Manning. This isn't even Morris versus Slater. Williams has a chance to go down as one of the best point guards of his generation. Paul has a chance to go down as one of the best 25 players ever. Big difference.

Inconsistent

Did you see his totally insane comments about Karl Malone? First he goes off about doing everything he can to “undermine” Karl Malone statistically by taking away three years in his lame 42.4 club, then he says Amare Stoudamire just might have a “vintage Karl Malone season.”

What in the world? So, did he just knock Malone, but then praise him, most likely because Karl Malone was one of the most productive basketball players of all time and it was unavoidable to say otherwise?

His comments about comparisons between Paul and Williams is funny, because all Jazz fans would be happy if Paul was better statistically for the rest of his career but Williams always handed him his ass in direct confrontations.

He's Wrong.

Not only is Simmons wrong, he’s dead wrong. Paul/Williams are neck and neck. This season will prove it.

Pearl Jam's No Code

This comment is Simmons’ “No Code” album. Every band has a bad one along the way. Hopefully, he’ll regain his senses and start saying intelligent things again.

Leave the ball, will you George?
