Mr. Bradley is currently having a career year for the Mavs(and I know it's his contract year). In the past y'all might have been able to rip on his rebounding or his sometimes comical shot attempts and FG%, but the fact of the matter is he is continuing to improve and he currently ranks amongst the league leaders of the NBA in a number of categories. These are some of his national rankings in rebounding and shotblocking, and they are nothing to sneeze at: Ranks #3 in the NBA in Blocks Per Game(2.85)
Ranks #2 in the NBA in Blocks(168.0)
Ranks #13 in the NBA in Defensive Rebounds Per 48 Minutes(10.2)
Ranks #16 in the NBA in Rebounds Per 48 Minutes(13.9)
Ranks #1 in the NBA in Blocks Per 48 Minutes(5.65)... For all you enemies of Bradley, just take a minute, take a deep breath, try to clear your mind, and forget all of the sportscenter jokes about Bradley over the last seven years. Try to forget the Mo Taylor dunk this year, or your mental picture of a Bradley skyhook falling two feet short... forget these things and think about how awful our team defense sometimes becomes when he is out of the game. Remember Bradley throwing elbows, and pinning shots to the backboard, and going toe to toe with Karl Malone, and frustrating Shaq with his spindly frame... Look beyond what the media says about Mr. Bradley (heck, they don't really know what they are talking about Mr. Cuban, do they?) and look at what he does for our team before you blindly denigrate the man. He is good and getting better. He is a project that is starting to bear real fruit. And he is a once and future Dallas Maverick. For these reasons he deserves a little more respect than most newly energized Mavericks fans seem to be giving him these days...
