NBC Sports.... someone send this to Joel B!

[Ozheelfan]

This is sure to get the 'junkyard dawg' fired up.... NBC just ranked the 'Heels backcourt at #13!!
*** Note: it looks like the article was writen before Theo's injury.

Even worse, the 'journalist' wrote this:

13. North Carolina (Joel Berry II, Justin Jackson, Nate Britt, Kenny Williams, Theo Pinson, Seventh Woods, Brandon Robinson)

Maybe I’m just down on this group because they’re all mostly know commodities. Maybe I’m just not seeing the upside. I don’t know. Unless Joel Berry II and Justin Jackson take major steps forward as juniors, I just don’t see what there is here to get excited about.

When I saw this thread title, I said to myself, Heel fans not gonna like it but I can some what see what they are saying because we do have 3 guys that it is unknown how they will play and really Justin & Joel are the only real knowns. Then I open the thread and read the quoted portion and they are actually saying just the opposite and say something that to me is far far from reality. You would think the writer would have some clue about what he is talking about.

Joel Berry at today's media day: "A lot of people are saying we don't have the backcourt to get to the spot we did last year. I think that's false"

Safe to say he's aware.

 

[Tom79]

Polite and to the point. I like JBII.

 

[RP12]

Said it before but JB could go down as my favorite Heel PG ever. I'm 40 so I saw many of the legends with the obvious exception of Ford. He's the perfect blend of toughness, talent, and clutch for me.

 

[TPFKAPFS]

I'm 52 and I saw Phil Ford. JB will make the list, but he isn't anywhere near the top!

The list is a hard one to crack and it is definitely no slight to be behind PF!

 

[TPFKAPFS]

The reporter who wrote that article may need to earn one of the two rings I'm hoping we win this year!

JBII has been overcoming this type of underestimation his entire career; this will just be motivation!

 

[dadika13]

I LOVE JB. But he's gotta do some incredible things in the next 2 years to get in the Psycho T, Twon, Marcus, Michael conversation on my favorite Heels ever.

 

[Archer2]

Sorry, but IMO, that list is a joke. That's all I'll say.

 

[dgheel57]

Finding it hard topay attention to anything the media prints anymore.I guess our boys will just have to shut those a-holes up.

I have stopped believing anything I see/read in any type of news media, be it the national media or sports media. It's not about the truth anymore, it's all sensationalism.

Ain't it sad? That's all some of them care about, and it feeds right into the OAD garbage.

Phil is the GOAT, with all due respect to Ray, Jet, Ty, Butter, Ed, et al... but I will say JB is already on that short list and could very well rise to the top of it below Phil before it's over.

Oz, I'll say this, the guys are already taking note of the doubters.

 

[TarHeelNation11]

Berry will have to have an absolute whale of a year for me to even consider him in the same vein as Lawson and Felton. Them dudes were so dang good.

 

[Ozheelfan]

Yeah Gary, the occasional peek into some of the players insta and twitter feeds says enough.

I was looking forward to a massive year from JB already but this sort of ish makes me think he's gonna be particularly nasty.

Fair call. I for one reckon that whale of a year is about to begin.

I agree that he is ON the list. If he can have the year we all anticipate, he could vault to the top level as well! I love him, but I also love me some Phelps, Black, Jet,Felton, Lawson,etc. I would have a really hard time ranking them!

BUT nobody will approach Ford, Jordan, and Hans!
