Glad that Grant Hill made the cut. The Vince Carter selection only shows how precious little fans know about basketball. Steve Nash clearly should be starting over both Kobe and McGrady (besides, where's the point guard, anyway?).February 04, 2005 at 06:37PM View BBCode
James has been playing Forward basically all season - at least starting. Until Ira Newble went down with an injury. Would be a more intriguing starting lineup in the East with James and Carter playing Forward, and Iverson and Dwayne Wade playing the Guards.February 04, 2005 at 06:39PM View BBCode
I can't think of any time that Carter actually deserved to be an allstar starter, yet he continues getting voted for by idiots. Hill deserved it, I was happy for that. I probably would have made the west backcourt Nash and McGrady.February 04, 2005 at 06:47PM View BBCode
Yea, either what Tyson said or just put Wade instead of Iverson.February 04, 2005 at 06:49PM View BBCode

Times like these, I really wish ol' LeBron was around to tell us about how great Carter is. It's people like him who make Vinsanity an All Star.February 04, 2005 at 06:50PM View BBCode
The funny thing is that Toronto has been better without Carter.February 04, 2005 at 06:53PM View BBCode

Yeah, I agree. Definitely the Ewing theory with the Raptors.February 04, 2005 at 07:55PM View BBCode

hobos list is pretty good, though I'd take Antawn Jamison or Jermaine O'Neal (despite the suspension) over Grant Hill. Hill has played good, but not great like he was in Detroit before he turned into Ken Griffey Jr.February 04, 2005 at 09:23PM View BBCode
I debated on Hill. O'Neal, the Wallaces, and Jamison all would be good enough , in my opinion,to beat him, but I kept Hill because I didn't think any of those guys were more than marginally betterFebruary 05, 2005 at 02:26AM View BBCode
giving the fact that my basketball knowledge is pretty limited I like most of it except Kobe, Vince Carter and Grant Hill. I haven't read anything but the first post in this thread so far but those 3 seem to be nothing more than reputaion picks to me.February 05, 2005 at 02:39AM View BBCode
Kobe belongs but im not sure he should be starting. Hill deserves to be there but Carter is taking someones spot who does belong simply because he was hugely popular a few years backFebruary 05, 2005 at 02:41AM View BBCode
I agree Kobe belongs but not as a starter.February 07, 2005 at 10:42PM View BBCode
Did you just say duncan doesnt deserve to be an allstar? He is quietly averaging a double double on the season and lead the spurs to the top of the west. Only KG has more double doubles than duncan. he #2 in blocks and 3rd in rebounds. 18th in scoring. thats ranked out of the whole NBA not by position or west. He doesnt deserve it? your on crack if you think he didnt deserve it.February 07, 2005 at 11:04PM View BBCode
Duncan deserves to go, but this sn't his best season. He'd be a much better choice than Ming, unfortunately he's a forward on the ballot. Dirk may not have as many blocks and reounds, but he has more steals, 3 pointers, and a better FT%. Very debatable. However, if Duncan can be a center, he is easily the bestFebruary 08, 2005 at 08:40PM View BBCode
Carter has picked it up since coming to Jersey. He was averaging a career low 15.9 ppg at the time he was traded but is now at a shade over 20 a game. He has been on a tear for the last two weeks or so where he has averaged nearly 30 a game and he had that huge game against Detroit where he went head-to-head with Tayshaun Prince and scored 41 points, grabbed 11 boards and had 5 assists. He also got matched up with Rasheed Wallace on the defensive end an awful lot because Krstic and Collins were in fould trouble for most of the game and contained 'Sheed pretty well. I don't think he deserves to be an allstar starter but he does deserve to be on the team, although I can't say that for some of the Allstar teams that he has made in the past. I would move James up to foward and put Wade in as the point guard. Nash definitely deserves to be the starting point guard for the West as well.February 08, 2005 at 09:04PM View BBCode
duncan compared to duncan he is not producing as usual but duncan compared to the rest he is having a good year. dirk is having a good year but he isnt a 4. He just cant defend down in the blocks, he gets backed in and its over. dirk is more 3 maybe even 2 guard.i think amare should have been listed as a 5, i would much rather see him than yao.February 14, 2005 at 09:09PM View BBCode
He's been on even more of a tear over this past week. He had 43 against the Sixers and would have had 60 against the Spurs if he hadn't been ejected because of the (bull shit) second T (he had 42 or 43 through three quarters.) But that doesn't erase the average start he had. I think he should be a reserve this year, definitely not a starter.February 19, 2005 at 01:09AM View BBCode

Carter is tearing it up now but a month of good play doesnt make some1 an all star starter. he just a name that people know.

I will give credit for dirk improving his D but i just dont see him defending duncan,KG, shaq, amare, yao, or k mart with any real threat. I give any of the people i listed the ball against dirk in the blocks. i bet 9/10 times all them work dirk hardcore. And 1/10 they barely miss the hook or the ball takes a bad bounce off the rim.Pages: 1
