Shane Larkin fires back at Phil Jackson’s “tiny hands” comment

By Devin Kharpertian

Andrea Bargnani Bargnani is a bit different from the three guys before him. Ellington, Larkin, and Robinson are all looking to find their NBA footing after things went south; at this point, Bargnani can only hope to prove his doubters wrong. He's still trying to find his NBA footing, but only after belief in his potential came, went, and then got pile-drived deep into the earth's core. There is not a single metric that justifies signing Andrea Bargnani to an NBA contract. He is a seven-foot center who does not defend or rebound at an NBA level. He is a stretch five that has hit well below the league average from three-point range in the last four seasons. It's hard to tell what's more laughable, his defensive rating (worst on last year's lowly Knicks), or the GIFs that show it. Bargnani has never lived up to his billing as a top overall pick in 2006, coming closest during a career-best season in 2010-11, when he averaged 21.5 points per game for the 22-60 Toronto Raptors. But if there's any silver lining here, it's this: Bargnani, who did not seem to enjoy rising to expectations, now has less expectations than ever. He's in Andray Blatche territory. Anything good he does will be a bonus. Anything else? Well, he's on a minimum deal, with no set rotation spot, and a few young guns (Robinson, Willie Reed, to name two) chomping at the bit for backup big minutes. He has the stability of a minor guaranteed contract and $72 million in career NBA earnings, but the pressure of needing to prove he belongs to stay on the floor. Is that enough? Well, probably not. Remember, we're talking about a player who posted the worst on-off court impact on the second-worst team in the NBA, who has struggled to stay healthy in recent years. But anything is possible... right?
