[GangstaBoogy]

[t.c.o.p.]

the fact that shaq will get more votes than howard is gay... on the other hand, while it may not be fair, id rather see vince start an all star game over arenas any day of the week. He is 10 times more fun to watch for and all star game. I also see that Iggy is getting some serious votes, im feelin it. What im not feelin is the fact that webber has more than 4 votes, thats bull, but he dont matter no more after he finally got bought out. IM also confused about the steve nash position. Theres no way he should be 4th for guards, especially when fuckin mcgrady is ahead of him, and even as a huuugee fan of a.i. i can say that nash should easily be in front of him too. This whole thing leaves me baffled and wondering...where the fuck is kyle korver?? lol

whether or not t-mac or ai are better than nash, t-mac and ai are "10 times more fun to watch"

tho i dont kno u think is carter more fun to watch than arenas, arenas has the most unpredictable style in the entire nba, and in crunch time the only player who can keep fans on the edge of their seats better than arenas is kobe. but if the all-star game was based off of how flashy the players are, then they should take out wade and put in steve francis, and tim duncan wouldn't even be in the all-star game as a waterboy

i no the all star game isnt based on flash, thats why i do think arenas should ahead of carter, i believe i already called it unfair?...but i would rather see a guy who can smash on someone and catch oops then a guy who has an unpredictable shot...and when i say nash should be ahead of ai and mcgrady, i mean he deserves more votes. i never said id rather watch nash then both of them. but dont get me wrong, nash just may make the guys around him even more fun to watch seeing that he is incredible at tossin dimes and hittin open guys and what not...anyways, i guess i may have came off to u like i thought it was all about "flash", which is untrue...

glad to see my boy CB4 is going to be a starter

[Now_Im_Not_Banned]

I think the game will look something like this...

Eastern Conference:
PG Gilbert Arenas...Jason Kidd/Chauncey Billups
SG Dwyane Wade...Vince Carter
SF LeBron James...Paul Pierce
PF Chris Bosh...Jermaine O'Neal
C Shaquille O'Neal...Dwight Howard/Ben Wallace

vs.

Western Conference:
PG Allen Iverson...Steve Nash
SG Kobe Bryant...Tracy McGrady
SF Dirk Nowitzki...Carmelo Anthony/Shawn Marion
PF Kevin Garnett...Tim Duncan/Lamar Odom
C Amare Stoudemire...Carlos Boozer

^^^^ Where is Duncan ? Paul Gasol won't make it, Lamar due to his injury has no chance... put Duncan instead of Gasol, re-place Dirk as a 4 and add Josh Howard at the SF position... I think it will be either Howard or Parker for the last spot, but with Dallas on the top of the league, coaches gonna choose Josh imo

^^^^ Where is Duncan ? Paul Gasol won't make it, Lamar due to his injury has no chance...

Fuck, I thought I had Duncan in there...And Lamar will most likely be healed by the all-star game. That last spot on the west is between him and Gasol, but they'll probably give it to Gasol though...PeACe

[wcsoldier]

^^^^ Gasol has been injured for most of the season... there is NO WAY imo coaches gonna pick him.. even if selection is strongly based on reputation

[WC Iz Active]

no way Gasol is gona make it

[Now_Im_Not_Banned]

Yea, I guess Odom still has a stronger chance since he at least played most of the season so far...I just know how everyone is high on Gasol and they sometimes tend to pick players based on reputation alone...

[WC Iz Active]

JO should be a starter no doubt

[Now_Im_Not_Banned]

JO should be a starter no doubt

He should, but Chris Bosh will get it by default...

[WC Iz Active]

He should, but Chris Bosh will get it by default...

yup Bosh is great but JO is better, he is at 19.5ppg and 10.5 rpg and he leads the leage in blocks, probably Jermaines best year ever.

yep I agree with the reputation thing.. but it's not like Gasol has Kobe, Shaq or Duncan statu.. I still think you can add to your roster either Parker or Howard and drop Gasol and Lamar
