Good God no. Everyone knew Vince Carter had a perimeter game. The point people always made was that he relied to much on 3 pointers as he was often content to just jack those up.

People continue to ignore the fact that Griffin has good footwork, is a very good passer (for his position), has excellent body control (in particular in the air) and has some of the best handle in the business (amongst bigmen). Dunking the basketball and having a high motor are his most overt qualities, but he can do more than just that.

Side-note: I like how they're scaling back the player ratings bit by bit, which "look" more reasonable to the eye.

Then I edited it with his OVR being 92 after I saw what his rating is in the picture. I saw people in here ask questions about his Sig. Skills after I initially posted. I copied from YOUR thread so anyone that entered after me would see and not have to continue asking what Rose's Signature Skills were. Maybe this is where you think I purposely edited my post maliciously to deter people from acknowledging your post. We posted at the exact same time, so I didn't even pay attention to your post until after the fact.

Nah, I didn't make a thread, I just posted in this one. Doesn't matter anyway, it's not a big deal.

This would be a credible rebuttal if he played with Paul in his rookie season..

Damn, 2k is going to be great with these sig skills.

Hopefully once Madden finishes OL - DL Interaction and Running Animations they throw in signature skills.

They really separate the bad from the good from the great.

That's early in his career when he tried to prove he could do more than just dunk. Most people I know always give me the "all he could do was dunk" speech.

Also, I think Blake should have at least a B HNDL rating. The dude can handle the ball very well for a big man.

Less than 1 block and 1 steal per game and if you watch him play its obvious his interior defense doesn't match his athleticism.

Concerning the conservation about offensive side of the ball, he simply lacks the post game of the other elite forwards (became very obviously in the series against Memphis) and the way he flops around the rim is really annoying to watch.

I will agree that he is a really good passer for his position and obviously is one of the more efficient scorers around the rim. He just needs to improve his post game and get a jump shot to be a real threat on the offensive end when the playoff defense shows up.

If Blake can't post up and can't make jumpers, how the hell does he score outside of dunks?
