"Little Sheed" vs. "Big Sheed"

As during the Blazers broadcast, Mike Rice and Mike Barrett referred to LaMarcus Aldridge as the up and coming star of the potential of Rasheed Wallace, whom the Blazers played last night. They are mirror images of each other. Both about the same height with long arms. Both have good outside games, which makes these too unique since big men aren't usually skilled from distance. And what's great about their outside game is that their long arms when they release make it very hard for opponents to block, yet alone defend. Aldrdige was on fire!! He has rediscovered his outside shot that past 3 games after an abysmal stretch. Because of the catalyst of LaMarcus's HUGE game of 27 points and dominance over my man Sheed, the Blazers moved into 1st place of the NW Division and are off to their best start since the 01-02 season!! Man, that seems like ages ago doesn't Blazer fans?
