Are you writing like that on purpose?
No. The reason I said that is because haven't other people been banned before for inciting arguments against Tony and Manu?
Why do you always get a free pass? I reckon if I said the stuff you do all the time I would have been banned. Why can you get away with it all the time?

No one has been banned for JUST inciting Tony/Manu arguments. People who got banned and stayed banned have done a lot more than that.
Anyway, ducks has been warned plenty of times for his hating of Manu, but just like some of the Parker haters, he just can't stop. It's lame. I suggest you just put him on your ignore list.
But in this thread he's not hating on anyone but CP3 .. I don't know if that's ban-worthy.![]()
Fair enough. I thought you've banned people before for constant Tony/Manu bashing. So for someone who does it almost every opportunity he gets I thought for some reason he was getting a free pass.
I think the problem of awards is that a lot of writers don't really understand basketball, so they look at the stats, because it's easier and, you know, stats don't lie.
The problem with that in SA is that it's a team-first at ude which is very good for team records and championships, but not for the individual player to shine. Even Duncan would have had better numbers (and probably a shorter career) with another team, because they would have ridden him for 40+ minutes a game.
So that's not good for Parker personal dreams because he's being played 34 minutes or so, and sometimes asked to step back, not be that aggressive, etc. Basically Pop doesn't ask of him to have a 30-10 line every day - that would be great for Parker but not for the team.
In the end Wade will make first team and will be a strong contender for MVP, but I for one would not make a straight up trade between the two because I don't think Wade would fit in the system - to me he's just "another Iverson" who lucked on Shaq to win a ring (where AI had nobody else) - they shine when they take all the shots, but if you ask them to do anything else (see AI recent stint off the bench in Detroit) then there's nobody there - either they are in the spotlight or they might as well not be on the court. Freaks of nature, yes. Great basketball players? I have my reservations.
All this being said, TP certainly deserves to be 2nd-team this year. And first team along Kobe would actually be far from stupid.
Tony Longoria deserves a place in the squad of the 2nd team at least.
I think TP should be in the 2nd team
with guards like CP3 Kobe and Dwade how?
