Tom cannot be Paul Pierce because:
1) As he said not too long ago, Boston's sports teams are repulsive. Tom is not repulsive.
2) Paul Pierce, while great, is not the best. Tom is the best.
Tom cannot be Dwight Howard because:
While Dwight Howard's awesome (and quickly becoming one of the best defensive players of all-time), he's not a fundamentally sound offensive player. He's improving that part of his game but he'll never make a free throw when you need it. He's a liability at that part of the game. Tom's not a liability at all and comes through in the clutch.
His comparison has to be an All-League First Team candidate. The most likely folks for those honors this season are: D-Rose, KD, LeBron, Dwayne Wade, Howard, Nowitzki, Monta Ellis, Kobe and Amare.
Out of that list, only D-Rose, KD, Howard, Monta and Amare are likable. So the candidates have to go through these people.
Amare does have the word "STAT" tattoed on his arm which is lame. He's also the product of an up-tempo Mike D'Antoni system, which inflates his stats. Tom's on freeform underdog WFMU, which doesn't have the ability (thank god) to use billboards or the like to up Tom's listenership.
Monta Ellis once got into a dirtbike accident. I don't think Tom rides a moped.
So it has to be either D-Rose or KD. I think it's a toss-up between those two.
