??????????????????????????????
Dude The All-Star team is a popularity contest plain and simple.
The All-Star game should be between american and international players, it will be more fun to watch, the international team would be:
Steve Nash
Manu Ginobili
Andrei Kirilenko
Dirk Nowitzki
Yao Ming
bench: Parker, Stojakovic, Gasol, Ilgauskas, Arroyo, Magloire and Turkoglu
I think USA vs World All-Star game would be very credible from this point, and a lot of fun.
The rivalry would be real, very much like Davis and Ryder Cups, and the game played seriously to win, rather than to showboat and screw off.
Other ideas for NBA all-star games:
Gays vs Straights (bi's and trannies allotted by drawing straws)
Muslims vs Infidels
Evangelicals vs -bound
Muslims vs Jews
WC Muslims vs EC Muslims
red-state vs blue-state
Come on guys keep voting.
Manu still has a chance, even if he doesn't pass Allen, i hope the coaches recognize him, which is why i still want him to start.
I hope either kobe,tmac,allen,or nash get injured...
No, no, no, no, no. Allen and Nash are good people who don't deserve to get hurt. TMac suffers enough as is under JVG. Take all of that ill will and lump it all against Kobe. He can't suffer enough.
That would be a sick team.
They should do that, but the NBA doesn't want to humiliate any more Americans like they did in Athens.
This "USA vs World" game doesn't have to replace the current All-Star format, but be an additional game somewhere/time. I think the NBA should be a 12 month/year season anyway.Jul - Oct really sucks.
And what about Olympic games?This "USA vs World" game doesn't have to replace the current All-Star format, but be an additional game somewhere/time. I think the NBA should be a 12 month/year season anyway.
Do you think that our Argentinians friends will agree to give up international compe ions for some more regular season games?
A USA VS the World AS Game would be most unOlympic like for our international friends and they would recieve an ass kicking of epic proportions...
No years of practicing together...
Duncan, Shaq and Garnett as your front line?
Trust me, you international guys don't want any part of that game.
Not even Manu will be able to prevent an ass kicking in that game.
Remember, Duncan is international, he just plays for the USA team.
That's like saying someone born in Washington DC is international...
Have it your way, Duncan won't make the difference either.
If they did that you'd have a starting five all-star consisting of:
Beno
Rasho
Brezec
Nachbar
Vujacic
What I meant by pro-rating, was that an American vote count as a full 1... whereas a chinese vote would be worth 1/5th........
Top 10 in PPG in the NBA:
9 out of 10 are American.Code:POINTS PPG 1. A. Iverson PHI 28.9 2. K. Bryant LAL 28.4 3. D. Nowitzki DAL 26.3 4. A. Stoudemire PHO 25.6 5. L. James CLE 24.4 6. R. Allen SEA 24.0 7. D. Wade MIA 23.9 8. T. McGrady HOU 23.3 9. R. Jefferson NJN 23.2 10. K. Garnett MIN 22.9
Rebounders:Even giving you Duncan, who is a US citizen and was born in a US territory(like Washington DC) by the way..Code:REBOUNDS RPG 1. K. Garnett MIN 14.6 2. T. Duncan SAS 12.0 3. E. Okafor CHA 11.8 4. S. Marion PHO 11.2 5. L. Odom LAL 10.7 6. S. O'Neal MIA 10.7 7. Z. Randolph POR 10.6 8. T. Murphy GSW 10.5 9. D. Gooden CLE 10.2 10. D. Nowitzki DAL 10.1
8 out of 10 are American.
Assists 9 out 10 are American.
Blocks 8 out of 10
Steals 7 out of 10
FG% 8 out of 10
FT% 9 out of 10
And so on and so forth...
This would be in a game with no national program, no international rules.
Just
Bring
It
Embarrass us...
Duncan makes all the difference, Duncan is a leader, and unlike Garnett and Shaq.
Duncan was the reason they won Gold Medals, when he was on the team.
And you better believe that.
Who? Argentina?
The league is all about American basketball. Expect more ego coming from the American's than from the Foreign players. They appreciate just getting what they are getting, unlike Kobe, and T-Mac. They don't care, plus the Americans have been raised to play the game and live near it all their lives. Foreign players do amazing things on the court that could really break the American team. The league is American, so it's obvious that americans feel at home, while others don't.
There's many points to this topic, that I don't even want to reach, because this is just plain stupid coming from you.
I'd say about 80% of the ppg leaders have either a bad record, or barely clinging.
Rebounding is nothing.
They could get embarrased.
It was obvious that Tim Duncan wasn't gonna win with Iverson as team leaders.
Lmao, I don't even think he talked all the time he was there.
And Manu did deserve the Gold medal, you can't say about Tim Duncan's loss in the Olympics when "your" boyz where too much of pussies to step up and play.
Garnett, Shaq....all scared....
So what in the world makes you think that they would step up again?
No, I expect more ego coming from the damn feriners...like the one who just talked and said he would embarrass us.
Actually, you're a ing idiot.There's many points to this topic, that I don't even want to reach, because this is just plain stupid coming from you.
In case you missed it Shaq has kicked Duncan's ass in the post season more than the other way around.
I'd say about 80% of the ppg leaders have either a bad record, or barely clinging.
And I'd say you're full of . Excuses are like aholes.
And I'd say your an idiot on top of it.Rebounding is nothing.
They could get embarrased.
Rebounding is nothing.
STFU assclown.
I've never once denied Argentina deserved to win the Gold and it was an important win.
But this would be a whole different ball game.
This wouldn't be a national team that has been playing together for 6 years...
It wouldn't be international rules being called by replacement refs.
It'd be talent on talent using our rules...and the US would destroy.
It's just the facts. Not arrogance.
Ok, all that post didn't make sense at all, that just proved I was right, and it also proved your an immature idiot without the knowledge or consent of this game.
TY. I win...now shut it because you can't make yourself look worse.
Still pissed off about the bronze?
Even with international rules, how didn't the USA team win? They completely sucked. People say that the refs sucked, blah blah blah, KGShaq, Kobe, Tmac didnt play blah blah blah.
Is Duncan, AI, Lebron, Melo, Wade, Amare, Marbury, Marion not enough??
Shaq would have passed out with all that running in those games, did you watch the game China vs. Spain?
Yao had trouble keeping up, which is why he didn't even go in the paint for foul shot rebounds, he wanted to stay back.
If Yao wasn'y in shape enough, Shaq would have died.
Just stay down man.
If I had my brain surgically removed I could not be more stupid than you were when you made that statement.
Rebounding is nothing...lol.
I have to disagree that Yao is good.
Yao is indeed the worst Center in the NBA.
He is also the most overrated... and I do think that the Chinese people are getting lots of votes... you know there are too many hackers over there
Yao sucks, and will always...have you seen how the Rockets are trying to change his image?
From innocent school boy to hardcore murder threat.
It's stupid, starting with his beard... they trying to change his image because of T-Mac.
Stupid ballhoggers getting their WAY!
\
Just stay down man.
If I had my brain surgically removed I could not be more stupid than you were when you made that statement.
Rebounding is nothing...lol.
Rebounding is nothing when you got foreign players shooting like there is no tomorrow, from the arc.
Something the US couldnt do....ever.
Think about it, and after that, think about it some more...
Spurs got raped because sonics kept shooting.
Off of Offensive boards.
