[edit] Early discussions

Mike James isn't the first undrafted player to average 20 points per game, what about John Starks

-John Starks never avereged 20 points per game over a season. His biggest scoring season was the 1993-94 season where he avereged 19.0 points in 59 games for the NY Knicks. He was, however, one of the very few (the only?) undrafted players to play in the All-Star game. His stats can be found at http://www.basketball-reference.com/players/s/starkjo01.html Sturlast 00:21, 12 July 2006 (GMT)

That whole Recent Media Scrutinyis pretty pointless, uncited, and innaccurate. While he's been drawing attention with his outspokenness, refusal to play a bench role, and demands for starting money, none of that has been criticized by anyone. Really, Raptors fans are the only ones who have criticized James, after watching him hog the ball for long stretches, refuse to acknowledge his lack of playmaking ability, and demand an unreasonable contract. That whole section seems to be a rant by a Raptors fan. I deleted it. 72.138.81.82 00:12, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
