Doug Gottlieb on Fred?

[Fairgame]

I seem to remember that some folks were a little miffed at Gottlieb because his assessment of Fred's skills were unflattering. Can anyone fill me in with what, in as much detail as possible, did D. Gottlieb say about Fred?

[Dark Lord]

He basically said that Fred was a nice college basketball player that did not have the size, athleticism or ability to play in the NBA.

Maybe someone else can give you an exact quote. I never much cared for that soulless piece of ****

A link to Bob Lutz' recollection of Gottleeb's comments was posted early in Game Thread #4.

[Kung Wu]

Or #5 ... can't remember.

IIRC, he and Bob went at it about the whole thing.

Meh. Fred has a ring. Dougie has an ankle monitor.

[kcshocker11]

Dougie said Hubie Brown should lose his vote for MVP after voting for FVV instead of Kawhi

[another shocker]

gottlieb doesnt understand that hubie brown voted for fvv for mvp because of his defense on curry. quite legitimate on hubie brown's part.

f%&*.. vanvleet was a defensive dynamo (not that gottlieb even halfway recognized it)

Where is this?

page 3 of the warriors-raptors game 6 thread has a pic of the tweet.

1. Fred VanVleet is a world champion.
2. Doug Gottlieb wore his shorts on backwards.

ABC Again, as you said, just come out and say you were wrong, Duggie, and this whole thing is forgotten.

1. Fred VanVleet is a world champion.
2. Doug Gottlieb wore his shorts on backwards.

and got kicked out of Notre Dame for stealing and using credit cards. Not the sharpest tool in she shed. I just have a hard time taking anything he says too seriously. I guess Gottlieb deserves our sympathy. He clearly suffers from FVVDS.

Fred VanVleet = A relevance
Doug Gottlieb = A total irrelevance

once upon a time a jewish guy goes to catholic school... loses his mind, steals credit cards, gets kicked out, transfers to hillbilly u, gets his degree but never makes it big in b-ball, and spends his life professional life squashing the stories of hard working brothas from the hood.

sounds like little man syndrome.

[wufan]

Blame the Jews! I’m just kidding.

[abdullah_sharif]

haha! I don’t discriminate... call out on an equal level...but if the shoe fits you gotta wear it.

Experts in all areas frequently make mistakes on their assessments (see 2016 Presidential election). Most own up to them, or at least don't double down.

[Shox The Revenant]

Doug just needs to have someone pimp slap him into reality. FVV didn't deserve to win the MVP, but getting a vote is not shocking. If you view FVV's Final's series holistically, his defense played an important part of Toronto wining the championship. Steph's season average FG shooting was 47%. He shot 41% in the Finals. Steph's 3 PT% season average was 43%, she shot 34% in the series. Steph shoots his average or better if FVV isn't guarding him.
