TWW's Making the Case #1: Eric Bledsoe v. Kemba Walker

Post by TheTwoWallaces »

It's time for the inaugural installment of Making the Case!

Before we start, I want to lay a few ground rules for Making the Case. These are to make sure the first few installments go as smoothly as possible, so please be cooperative.
  • Please do not comment with your thoughts on the debate until the arguments have been posted. Once the two GMs have had their say, you can have at it you filthy animals.
  • This session will be slightly shorter than others. I want to post these every Sunday, when both I have time and there are no CSL games going on. To start that schedule, this first debate will be on a shorter timeline than subsequent debates. Keep that in mind when volunteering to sign up.
  • If you want to sign up for this debate, shoot me a PM. I will be commenting below when the two GMs have been chosen. For this first debate, it will be first come first serve.
  • Lastly, get creative! This is a good chance for anyone to crunch some numbers, toss in some flowery language, photoshop some images, recall some game footage, whatever you need to convince the audience. Once you're chosen as a debater, the stage is yours!
*By the way, the 2015 CSL data is missing. Players will not have data or accolades from that season. Championships will still be counted though.

___________________________________________________________

Without further ado, lets get the show on the road. To kick things off, we are going to pit two of the greatest point guards in CSL history up against one another. They're both 6'1", they're both 35, and they have both assembled incredible careers in the CSL. Ladies and gentlemen, it is time to take a deep dive into the careers of Eric Bledsoe and Kemba Walker.

The Question: Better CSL career: Eric Bledsoe or Kemba Walker?
Deadline: Sunday, February 7 17:00 GMT (12pm EST)

Ok, the two sides have been chosen.

OneNole will be arguing for the greatness of Eric Bledsoe.

Emplep7 will be making the case that it is Kemba Walker who is the more iconic CSL legend.

The two debaters have until Sunday 12pm EST to make their cases. Good luck!
