09-10 NBA All-Star Weekend

[durden_tyler]

Who would you want to see for the all star festivities?

We know the fans will vote in the starters for the East and the West... And most likely (stupid) fans will (again) vote in the (useless) Tracy Mcgrady...

How about the sideshows? Who do you want to see in the Dunk Contest? In the Three Point Shootout?

My wish list for the dunk tilt would be: Rudy Gay (let's give him another shot), Demar Derozan (heard he has mad hops) among others..

While in the 3point shooting, i'd want Channing Frye to be there--- just for the sake of cheering for a big man winning it...

All Star game:
The Starters should be.

East:
F: James (1st voted by fans)
F: Bosh (not in the top2), fans want KG
C: Howard (1st voted by fans so far)
G: Wade (1st voted by fans so far)
G: Rondo (not in the top2), fans want AI

West:
F: Anthony (1st voted by fans so far)
F: Dirk (2nd voted by fans so far)
C: Amare (1st voted by fans so far)
G: Kobe (1st voted by fans so far)
G: Nash (2nd voted by fans so far) (T-Mac?, come on china, give me a break).

I want to see Lebron in the dunk contest, I don't want him to win though..

I'm having trouble deciding who should start as PG in the Rookie vs. Sophomores.

nba.com has been dangling:

1. PG Tyreke Evans
SG James Harden

or

2. PG Brandon Jennings
SG Demar DeRozan

SF should be Omri Casspi

While Blake Griffin should still be considered and be given benefit of the doubt.

3-Point Shootout: Gallinari, Frye, Anthony Parker, Morrow, Redick, Mo Williams

[durden_tyler]

i completely forgot about the Knicks' Gallinari. i'd want him in the shootout too. Heck, even during regular season games he's treating it like's he's in the three-point shootout already.

As for Lebron in the dunk contest, i'd love to see him there but doubt it will ever happen at all.

Allen Iverson is the best. He deserves to be a starter despite every shit he has gone through. He's a great player. GO AI your the besttttttttt !!!!

McGrady has 649,563 votes, Nash has 648,558 and Paul 622,619. Rediculous .

Ridiculous indeed. Oh well, we do know there are some stupid, bias basketball fans around the world so i wouldn't say i am surprised.

Then again, i'd want him to be voted in. Why? So that the league will realize that the process (fans vote) is in itself a stupid idea. It needs a tweak. Something like 60 per cent fans decision and 40 percent coaches choice. That should make things right a little bit and will avoid situations such as this one.

I want to see Kevin Durant in this year's All Star Game.

[LordOfLeyte]

CJ Watson

Dirk Nowitzki

Channing Frye
