You don't mess with Monk! As for Ray Allen, I missed that entirely as I needed a drummer to complete the quintet.....it was probably another "senior moment"!

But the few games I've watched I don't go for so many full court drives without a pass. I was a fan of Dennis Johnson, always passing the ball. As for your "quintet" you can't have jazz without a conversation -- that requires team players, not grandstanders.<br /><br />My reply: I agree that the chest-pounding “me”-ism style of the game as it’s often played today is antithetical to the jazz spirit. Nonetheless, there are individual b.ball/jazz performance styles that can reasonably be compared.Steve Provizerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06970532291417480963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1959286621592188397.post-4343998436318925372010-06-12T08:36:29.088-04:002010-06-12T08:36:29.088-04:00Couldn't resist, eh?

Perkins as Tony Williams-no way. Perk is usually a half step behind; often moving at a direction-less lope.Steve Provizerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06970532291417480963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1959286621592188397.post-74485156800217871012010-06-11T23:59:55.633-04:002010-06-11T23:59:55.633-04:00OK, I'll bite...
