I don't. There are many great MB's - Gustavo Endres, Simon, Volkov, Podrascanin, Kooistra, Hubner, Mastrangelo, which are on the same or higher level, especially Simon
What I try to state is that he is in the top of the op MB's but the only one who is close to Giani, Gardini or van den Goor is Simon
David Lee is a gret player but i don't this is the best MB.
He had a great service and ha powerfull attack but he flaw a bit as a blocker (same for Podrascanin, Simon, Kooistra)
Althoguh I do agree that David Lee isnt the best middle blocker, clearly cause of the other good ones you stated, but saying Simon is close to van den Goor, or better then Masterangelo and the likes?
I like Simon and all, but he isn't that all around player van den Goor was. Remember that man, could pass, block, kill, running pipes, defend he did EVERYTHING.
Also I think Simons serves are good, but overrated.
Men like Volkov serve better.
Simon is impressive and all with his hard hitting.
And he can block high, but is it better then Volkov?
Is it better than Endres?
Those men have one hell of an technique when it comes to blocking.
Simon lackes that, cause he can't even close his arms cause of the muscles he has ?
I meant close not as all around player, but as importance to the team and ability to score many points in important games. Actually I think he blocks better than Volkov
that's true...frankly speaking, i didn't follow team USA on the world cup and only watched them play against Russia, and all i can say is that he just made no impression, neither good nor bad... and this is what really disturbes....
