Some praise for Deron on ESPN by JA Adande

I was just reading through the NBA section of ESPN and came upon this very nice article talking about DWill by Mr. Adande.
It began with a quick e-mail to Deron Williams after yet another of his impressive performances, a query about what drives him.
"I hate to lose!!!!!!" he responded. "That's it."
I don't think this is meant as a comparison article, but I'd definately choose DWill over CP3. It just seems to me that he has more of an ability to make everyone better and play at a higher level.
All comments are the opinion of the commenter and not necessarily that of SLC Dunk or SB Nation.

will say that Williams has a lot of John Stockton to him (much more so than Boozer has any Karl Malone) in that he keeps making winning plays.
So true.
They didn’t have anyone who could guard Joe Johnson.
AK shut Johnson down in the second half. Johnson didn’t beat us as much as The Jazz beat themselves.

Yeah. I thought that comment about Johnson clearly showed that JA watched only the box score and not the game.
I was as pleased with our team defense against Joe Johnson in the second half as I have been all year.
The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
