Warriors get snubbed (again)

(1/4) > >>

Russell Bell:
From all star appearences and talk about being a real rising team in the tough west. 

Monta ellis is one of 4 players avging 20 plus pts and 6 plus assists (snubbed again from the all star game and any "elite" talk)

Brandon Rush best 3 pt shooter in the league (not invited to 3 pt contest, hardly on anyones radar)

Klay thompson 3rd best 3 pt shooter in the league (same as above)

Plus david lee in top 5 in many categories for Power forwards.

People would rather talk about a fluke player (at the moment, yes he is) in NY, old ass kobe, blake griffin's "throw in" dunks/almost dunks, lebron tmz-like details, and what random nba players have to say on twitter about whitney houston. 

Fans/media need to get a clue.  Anyone agree?

Hack Wilson - real:
umm jeremy lin has lead the knicks to 7 straight wins


fluke or not, nobody saw that shit coming.

not even NIK, aka the self proclaimed Dr. Naismith himself

See thats my point.  Its the tebow thing all over again.  No matter lin's actual role, people will put the wins on him because of the circus around him right now, and the fact that he plays for NY.  If lin played in GS and did the exact same shit no one would care.  If that doesnt bother people, thats fine, but lets not pretend this isnt going on and that it doesnt dillute the overall experience for fans of the game.

Hack Wilson - real:
well u kinda contradict urself because Tebow doesn't play in NY

infact tebow plays in denver, a pretty irrelevent place nationally


but i do see ur point though.

TheRemedy360Ressurection:
I don't think it's as much the NY factor as it is the racial factor. I mean if you think about it, what (relavant) asian guys besides Yao and Yi have made it in the league? Obviously they're big men, and we haven't seen a guard have this kind of success before (scoring at a historic rate in his first few games mind you). Sure, he's probably getting more attention cause he's in NY, but I see it as much more of an underdog story than a NY story. People like the story of the undrafted kid who has success and the fact that he represents a race that is virtually irrelevent in the NBA helps his case a lot. You're right about Ellis not getting enough credit though.
