How is Brandon Roy an All-Star?

[BUMP]

No championships without Shaq and didn't do anything for 3 years until they acquired talent around him. It was a joke how he won MVP last season even though his team was way, way more talented than the Hornets yet only had one more win. CP3 is a wizard on the floor who controls all aspects of the game. Unfortunately, his talent is getting overworked on a team without any other true stars.

Cp3 isnt doing anything with talent around him

God help us all if the NBA has decayed such that the 2nd best player in the league defers to a scrub whose playing overseas in a crucial game 7. God HELP us all.

It's hard to debate with someone with no knowledge because there's no where to start. I never said CP3 was the 2nd best scorer in the league. But he did what he could without his 3 big guns performing. Pargo was the only guy who was putting the ball in the bucket but he was getting his points from CP3.

What talent does he have him around?

[iggypop123]

What talent does he have him around?

All Star David West
Double Double Machine/defensive anchor/rebounding expert TC
One of the best shooters in the game in Peja
Savvy 6th man Posey, the new age "Horry"
And role players willing to do the dirty work like Marks, Bowen, Butler, and Armstrong.

And CP3 with this wide array of talent has led his team to a meager 34-22 record. 2nd best player my ass.

You contradict yourself. You just posted how all the "scrubbs" have dropped off from last season yet now you say he has talent around him. WTF? Seriously man, you that misguided?

West statistically is a solid player, but not a star.
Chandler was averaging 8 & 8 before he returned from his injury
Peja's shooting has dropped off dramatically this season
Posey is savy, but that's about it.
Our bench is terrible.
Numerous injuries throughout the starting lineup forcing us to use our terrible bench

You say it yourself all the team. We're a bunch of scrubbs. Now you're saying we have talent.

For some reason people say Kobe cant win without Shaq, but Shaq did not win a championship until kobe got there, Shaq wouldnt have won a championship if it wasnt for kobe, both players needed each other to win, you could say the samething about Jordan and Pippen

Shaq and Kobe arrived in LA at the same time. Kobe's fantastic. No doubt. And he has a great chance to shut up people like me by winning a championship. Everyone needs talent around to win a championship. No way Shaq wins without Wade. Kobe has a great cast him around him this season. Its his time to win a Finals MVP. If he doesn't do it this year, will he still be considered the best in the game?

[Ghazi]

The Kobe without Shaq argument is dumb. Shaq can't win without Kobe either, and hasn't won without Kobe either. Nobody who knows basketball counts the Cheat championship. Besides, what did Shaq do in that series except shoot a historically woeful FT %? Nothing. Just coattailed the flukish awesomeness of D-Whistle the and the bull officiating bias.
