Talk:Mike James (basketball, born 1975)

message: Mike James isn't the first undrafted player to average 20 points per game, what about John Starks
-John Starks never avereged 20 points per game over a season. His biggest scoring season was the 1993-94 season where he avereged 19.0 points in 59 games for the NY Knicks. He was, however, one of the very few (the only?) undrafted players to play in the All-Star game. His stats can be found at http://www.basketball-reference.com/players/s/starkjo01.html

That whole Recent Media Scrutinyis pretty pointless, uncited, and innaccurate. While he's been drawing attention with his outspokenness, refusal to play a bench role, and demands for starting money, none of that has been criticized by anyone. Really, Raptors fans are the only ones who have criticized James, after watching him hog the ball for long stretches, refuse to acknowledge his lack of playmaking ability, and demand an unreasonable contract. That whole section seems to be a rant by a Raptors fan. I deleted it. 72.138.81.82 00:12, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

message: How can you have an article about Mike James and not include his infamous Bahamas quote?  He's got to be more known for that quote than anything he did as a basketball player.
And here's the quote in full, just in case you don't know it.
"The money that I make — the multi-year deal or whatever you guys want to call it — just give me what I deserve. Don’t underpay me. I'm tired of being called an underachiever. I’m tired of being underpaid. And I’ve been underpaid since I’ve been in this game. Now it's time for me to get what I deserve. The money don't motivate me. The money don't motivate me at all. But the thing is, maybe I do want to wake up one morning and say, 'Baby, let's go to the Bahamas. Today.' That costs money. So what if I want to do that? Why shouldn’t I have the ability to do that if for six, seven, eight months I give you my heart on the basketball court?" (69.158.91.170 (talk) 15:53, 21 July 2011 (UTC)
