So I'm looking at the Sporting Blog last night to see if they had anything about the tournament already posted and sure enough Shanoff had an article up. Usually I don't have that big of a problem with Shanoff. He seems like he means well in most cases even if I disagree with his opinion frequently. I more or less just look at him as a regular sportswriter that writes completely mainstream shit that a lot of the vieiwng public/zombies out there will agree with because ESPN has stolen their brain already. But in the 12th or so paragraph of the above linked article I had a very slight brain aneurysm. In it, Shanoff calls Hansbrough arguably the best player in UNC history and then he throws out the hilarious claim, "perhaps one of the 10 best players in NCAA history." I'm sorry but just because Little Lord Hansbrough stayed all four years, is white, and can score around the basket doesn't mean he is an all time great. Maybe it's just because he looks and acts like such a douche that I discount his talents. Nope, on second thought, he is just another JJ Redick. A one dimensional white player that gets his nob slobbed an inordinate amount of time in the press because he's white and his team is really good. So, in conclusion, Shanoff should cool it on the god among gods talk and Hansbrough should probably petition for a fifth year of eligibilty since he will never be good enough to break into the top seven of any rotation in the NBA.
