Okay so I can't use Elton Brand's Sixers stats because he was injured. I can't use his Clippers stats because he was on a bad team. What do you have to say about him? All you've done is talked about how Ron Artest is worse but how much you love him anyway. Brand hasn't averaged 20+ on a good team before in his career.

artest is a great player and i will always be a fan of his which is why i know he can not easily score 20 a game. his percentages are good because he shoots only when needed. when he forces things is when he starts to miss. you can look at the portland and lakers series and season games to see what i am saying. when he forced it the rockets usually lost. when he stayed within his 17ppg, 5rebs self he helped the team. 20ppg is not artest. not anymore anyways.

[MrJeckel]

again, i never said artest's offense was terrible. nowhere did i say that. but lets be real here. brand is a PF and artest is a SF so offense i believe would be easier for a guy that is closer to the rim. but again, artest is not a scorer. teams do not get him for his scoring ability. they get him for the intangibles. artest is a 15-17ppg scorer on a good team and a 20+ppg scorer on a bad one. if you would bet me who would score 20 a game i would say brand because he is a great low post guy.
