I have two things to say about this.

One is that Yao Ming is fine.
The other is that I heard Kentucky violated some sanctions on that dog, but I’m sure he’ll grow past it in the pros: the dog-signing would greatly improve our SG position.

I feel (though I'm sure I'm not the first to) that this exposes the flaws of the ASG in general.

I can’t believe a player who has not played a full season for the last few years and has certainly not shown his best (and thus has been undeniably outperformed by others) manages to make the All-Star game…all because of a large number of zealous Chinese voters (and whoever else) who clearly don’t follow basketball and don’t understand what an All-Star position should ideally reward.

Penny in 97-98.

I’ll never forget him being injured all year, then coming back right before all-star break just so he could play.

The east starting 5...

Rose, Wade, James, Amare, Howard – wow. DWill getting hosed – at risk of being stoned to death here, I think he’s still a little better than DRose because of how well he handles the Offense and gets to the line. Rose only trails Wade, Howard, James, Kobe, and Durant in votes, and he might catch KD. I’m so glad we got Boozer in stead of Bosh… at least he looks like he has a good excuse when he loafs.

Sadly, I think as long as Shaq the egomaniacal immovable and near-stationary boulder

remains in the NBA, Joakim won’t have a sure spot in the ASG. I’m pretty sure Dwight will be tops for the next 5 years at least, hopefully Joakim will be right behind him all the time.

by Saracenn on Jan 13, 2011 1:52 PM CST up reply actions

only one C gets voted in, though

if noah is able to keep up the pace of what he was doing before he got hurt, i don’t really see shaq as too much of a threat.

You're right.

Not only that, but because of Boston’s success, a whole lot of people believe he’s the better player, too. I heard a lot of that when I was in NY last week. Real NBA guys know that Rose is unreal, but casual fans make up most of the NBA fan-base and they get most of their NBA viewing done in the playoffs.
