Title: Mike McGuirl goodbye thread
Post by: I_have_purplewood on March 09, 2022, 06:49:37 PM
This is a thread to remember our best memories of this.....um...5 or 6 year guy.  His clutch shots or his massive momentum killing moments. GO!

He has been crap tonight!  duh.

Go!

tbh, his performances in the E8 run are about all that I remember of Mike M's play at KSU, and even those are hazy. I will always remember him as an early adopter or the short-shorts look, and how his try-hard demeanor on the court was a turnoff for me from early on. Rec-specs would have been a really fitting look for Mike. Like when Jim Carrey hooped in The Cable Guy.

He pretty much single-handedly brought the win home against OU for us last season

Exactly, I missed that, along with most of his career, which is more an indictment on oscar — and me as a fan — than Mike. He gave his heart and souls to KSU for all those years. That’s pretty admirable.

i don't get the mike hate.  he wasn't great, but he was a solid enough role piece, and could breakout every now and again.  not even close to a top ten worst regular player we've had over the last 15 years or so.  hell, i can name several worse regular players on the '21-'22 squad.

I get why people don't like him (lots of minutes as a pretty bad player)but don't think this thread is necessary

really though they were very different players. Clent was a facilitator and a + defender. Mike wasn't even supposed to be a point guard. We didn't talk about it here but the last couple of games without Nowell, oscar actually moved Mike off the ball and had Selton playing the point, and Mike looked much better catching the ball on the wing and corner, instead of shooting 3 feet behind the line at the top of the kwy.

I'm sorry, the numbers say he was better than Clent. Tough day for Clent defenders.  And by the way, McGuirl was a better defender.

Better hair too, but Clent was more adorable.

First of all, it's not defenders, it's defender. Secondly, nah. I would hope a volume shooting guard would average more points than a pass first point guard. Clent having a higher 3PT% is a real bad look.

Can Mike romance Mrs KK like Clent?
