No, not really.
Here's an example. Many of us, including you and I, were over the moon for Prosper. But well into his sophomore year now, and the thrill has pretty much worn off I think. I'm not sure he can make it. I don't know about you, but for me, I don't have a lot of hope that he's a good rotation player here. The NBA game seems pretty difficult for him. And I sense this board seems to have a grip on that. I'm disappointed - probably you are too - but we recognize not much is happening with him. It's not a perfect comparison, but you catch my drift.
Green was different. Some people had a real love affair with his potential... every game was a yo-yo, and discussions about him never seemed to match his performance. I took a beating in a lot of discussions. ...And we're still talking about him now even though he's with another team.
I know we fan-boy some players... that's what we do sometimes on message boards. But the opinion on Green had a strange shelf-life for me. The expiration date was a lot shorter I thought.
That's how I saw it.
