Welcome to the Bulletin Board, Mr. Thabeet

Apparently, Hasheem Thabeet is not too fond of the fact that Tyler Hansbrough and Luke Harangody are getting all of the pre-season accolades. A quote from the new ESPN the Mag:

I played Luke Harangody and he was not tough. Tyler Hansbrough? I don't see nothing.
As if that wasn't bad enough, the quote didn't come from an article. It was printed on the cover.

To be honest, I like the swagger and confidence from Thabeet. An attitude like that is exactly what he needs on the court to be effective, because when he plays confidently and aggressively, he is a monster in the paint. I just don't think mouthing off to ESPN was the smartest thing to do, no matter how confident he is. That is, of course, unless he wanted to give Notre Dame and UNC (should the Huskies and Heels meet) extra motivation and attract a few errant elbows in his direction.
