i honestly havent been into All Star weekend for years. The shit is kinda wack now. I mean, the slam dunk competition is boring now. And the game itself is nowhere near as good as it used to be. Im more back on them days in the mid 90's. The shit was fun. I think the defense now is even worse then its ever been. D in the All Star game has never been good...but now, shit is like an AND1 game.

Charlei V is a baller. Hes got the all around game for a 6"10 guy.

Charlie V. is good, no doubt, but I'd still prefer Channing Frye anyday. Frye has potential to be a Duncan-Garnett type player with better shooting ability. Both players have a great future though, no doubt...

Well for a 6"10 player, Charlie V shoots and can hit the 3 wich is something Frye cant and does not do. Plus Charlie V can dribble and take his man outside the paint where Frye is only a post up player in the paint. Charlie is much more versatile IMO.
Not that I expect you to agree with me ::) But trust me, I watch every single Raptor game so dont try to say Frye is a better shooter. You can still be right all the time about the Lakers tho :laugh:

Frye can hit the 3 as well, though his position does not require him to do that, so he doesn't get many looks from long ditance. I also agree with you that Charlie is more versatlie, but Frye is more polished and fundemental. Sorta like the difference between Tim Duncan and Lamar Odom. Odom is more versatile, but Duncan just has that boring, yet very effective game. Frye is not gunna be an explosive player, like Charlie will, but overall, he will be more valuable to his team in the long run...Big men aren't supposed to dribble a lot anyways, Frye is a C-PF...I hope they play him primarily at PF for his career, because I feel like he can take advantage of that position easily...Charlie is gunna be very good too, but this is just my opinion...As for the Lakers, I still haven't forgotten that bet regarding the chrons. 8)

Yea...It's been pretty whack. The last good all-star segment I remember was Vince's dunk contest...Before that, it was Kobe's rookie season, when he won the dunk contest. Nowadays, the all-star game is more like a pick-up game. But I think with the NBA tryna restore its respectability and all, they will try to improve on all-star weekend as well. They should start by bringing back the rookie game and inviting big names to the dunk contest...I also believe the competition in the actuall all-star game will go up this year...The west should take it though.
