Again everything depends on the roster you play with. If Dirk was 28 years old i'll tell you the ball will go through him.
What we saw was Smith eat up Jack for a few minutes there where Jack could not keep up, nothing special there lol, but he's done it against much better this year.
People act like one guy went 8 and the other 28, they went consecutive and both have major upsides.
I remember when everyone would compare Clyde and the Pearl when he was a Bullet, and they were two totally different players.......And I see Frank more the Clyde type, not flashy, and Smith more the Pearl Type, would it be bad having either on your team? The answer is obvious and no.
The Knicks should actually ask Clyde to work with Frank and teach him his post up and turn around and pump fakes, and how to drive and kick without being lightning fast.
BTW, yes I did get to watch back in the day Pearl on the Bullets vs Clyde and the Knicks and the Bullets beating the Knicks in the playoffs then the next year getting the Pearl which helped the Knicks win there second ring.
Still today I don't feel there were two teams who played each other in the playoffs who were exactly the same and each position was an amazing matchup, and I mean each position, it was amazing.
I hope someday soon fans here will feel the same thing I did when I was really young, I was that 10 year old who would put a transiter radio under my pillow for the west coast games so my parents would think I was sleeping and I'd listen to the game to the last second.
Google it lol, because most won't even know what that radio was........
