My All-Star game is a make-believe scenario where I am hiding behind a computer and picking the 24 duders who I want to see play. And I don't like Dwight.<br /><br />And for the record, Brandon likes his towels at room temperature.BockerKnockerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11614853775876761259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1534697134696542004.post-41199951982830446772012-02-24T19:38:24.345-05:002012-02-24T19:38:24.345-05:00Citing PER is blasphemy?

I'm sure Monroe is a fine person in the locker room, and I even heard he puts out warm towels for Brandon Knight prior to each game...but come on. PER and VAL equal how "good" a player is. And if you say D12 is a top 10 MVP player (which he is) then either you're saying Monroe and Chandler are higher than that...or that someone who is the best at their position doesn't deserve to be the in AS game.<br /><br />Which is why I call it absurd. Would you argue that LBJ shouldn't have made it his free agent year or that 'Melo should be barred because of his flight from Denver?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1534697134696542004.post-27751789810604230352012-02-24T16:57:07.416-05:002012-02-24T16:57:07.416-05:00I should have been more clear in the original post...I should have been more clear in the original posting. Dwight will ALWAYS be one of the 24 best players in the NBA. He should routinely come in the top 10 in MVP voting. But when I think of All-Star games, I always think about the players who really deserve to go, rather than the guys that the fans vote in (perfect example is Carmelo this year).<br /><br />Dwight doesn't deserve to be showered with praise when this year's All-Star game is being hosted by the city he is STILL trashing. One of the things I used to love about Dwight was that he smiled all freaking day, and that he didn't change that when critics slammed him for not being serious enough. Well, he's not doing much smiling this year, even with Orlando in virtually the same position that they are every year (3rd-4th in the East). He doesn't want to be there. He's called out his own teammates in the locker room, he has been the subject of alleged tampering by Prokhorov and the Nets, and he's just not the same guy. He's a phenomenal athlete, just not who I, personally, want to see in the All-Star game.<br /><br />Greg Monroe is a great player; his value to the Pistons lies beyond stats. Basketball, unlike baseball, does not revolve around statistics. So citing Player Efficiency Rating is blasphemy in this household.<br /><br />Thanks for reading, whoever you are!

BockerKnocker, D12 is having one of the best statistical seasons a Center has ever had and you're picking Tyson Chandler (who definitely deserves a spot as a reserve) and...Greg Monroe? D12's PER, for a Center, is phenomenal this year, and his VAL is one of the highest ever.<br /><br />You're out of your mind, and claiming his leaving Orlando makes him not worthy...without Dwight in it, no one would goto the game from the hometown...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1534697134696542004.post-32824885587374023682012-02-24T16:02:53.255-05:002012-02-24T16:02:53.255-05:00Don't look at me....BockerKnocker, I'm thr...Don't look at me....BockerKnocker, I'm throwing you under the bus. <br /><br />-KOBEshKOBEshigawahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18278547703851636942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1534697134696542004.post-89572430823995805562012-02-24T15:58:26.046-05:002012-02-24T15:58:26.046-05:00Most idiotic post ever...Dwight Howard is not an a...Most idiotic post ever...Dwight Howard is not an all-star?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
