I said not that he will deserve it. The fans vote for guys who have been injured the entire year. I fully expect for fools to vote for Lin to start. My favorite basketball player was Jim Jackson. In the 1994-95 season he was averaging 27 a game going into all-star weekend, only David Robinson, Karl Malone and Shaq averaged more points a game yet Dan mother fucking Majerle started for the West over Mitch Richmond and Jim Jackson didn't even get to go. Oh by the way Dan Majerle didn't even start for his own team. Anyway yes Rose is by far the better player but don't assume when it comes to fan voting.

Wait a minute. You actually are saying that Jeremy Lin deserves to be on the All Star team? hahahahahahahahahaha

You are aware that as of right now the NBA isn't even letting him participate in the Rookie and Sophomore game, right?

Dude, if you think he deserves to be on the All Star team you have some serious issues.

Yeah!!! Kurt Warner agrees (the QB, not the RB).

You haven't been watching. There's a You tube video of him absolutely killing John Wall in a summer game. Its real. This is not some gimic with a good D masking the lack of talent. This actually makes you wonder how many more guys are missed b/c of preconceived notions.

Like I said before, it's 5 starting spots per team. That equates to 150 starting positions in the NBA.

The NFL? Over 700. The depth needed the NFL is real as injuries are much more common (especially the serious, career threatening ones) so while the opportunities can be limited, they are there.

There are over 1700 players in the NFL (53 on each roster) while the NBA has around 450 (15 on each roster). But how often do NBA players have significant injuries that allow someone buried on the depth chart to show themselves? Not often. There are certainly some other players out there that could shine, but imagine what they would have to show in practice to get that opportunity outside of an injury? They'd have to start hitting 65% from beyond the arc or dunking from the foul line to get enough attention to bench someone else and give them playing time.

And to folks that think Melo can't play with him - name the last PG he's played with.

Gerry McNamara - and it was the unselfish, savvy guard play of McNamara that allowed Melo to play the most dominant basketball of his career - to this day.

I never said that he won't be in existence. That's your bad grammar and I'm offended you think I said that. Do you know how to use quotes properly? Because when you quote someone, you should actually use the words the individual used.

Flip flopping what? I've said he is a below average NBA player. and by that I mean he is closer to being a bench player than he is to being a quality player.

By what standards, you dullard?

What the fuck have you seen from Jeremy Lin before his starts? THE DUDE WAS UN-DRAFTED AND HE WAS A BACK UP.

What more do you want from him? You're discrediting this guy because you're bitter, and you do not want to see him do well.

Yeah, I like the disclaimer - as of right now. Holy crap. Can't be wrong then?

Anyway - he does not deserve All star game this year, and who can even talk about next year?

Best part I love is - last night after the game, he's being interviewed on court, and he looks like all of us would be - laughing at the moment (in a gee whiz this is really happening sort of way), just in disbelief of what is happening and appreciative of it. What a seemingly really down to earth person.

And every time you turn on a game at the end, its unbelievable - Hits go ahead free throw, next game conventional 3 ptr to tie, pull up 3 pter to win. Next game 13 assists in 27 minutes!!!?!! Read that again - in a professional basketball game - 13 Assists in 27 minutes. I know there's no place that has that sort of statistic. But, one wonders how often John Stockton did that. I'm sure he did a bunch of times. But, that seems unfathomable to me. I don't care the competition.

Maybe, it won't last. But, again - his main skill set including cracking ankles of well regarding defenders does not simply fade away with a major injury or age. Forget the shooting. That's cherry.

FUN FACT about Jim Jackson:

Both he and Jason Kidd were banging toni Braxton at the same time. This caused a huge rift between them and fucked up the team.

Let's tone down the dullard stuff and just discuss the points.

But, Jim Calhoun has a quote where he's a top echelon player (UCONN v Harvard 2009). Maybe, that's why he's got 3 rings. Too bad he hadn't seen it 4 years sooner.

Note date on quotes. and one refrencing Steve Nash. Maybe, someone should have listened sooner.

If you think the NBA isn't about hype then you got serious problems. There is a reason the Lakers and Celtics have been in damn near 3/4th of all the NBA finals. It's rigged for these major markets. The Knicks fall third on this rigged list.

Actually, the NBA is rigged primarily to make sure playoff series go to seventh games for TV ratings. There may very well be some bias towards large market teams, but to claim that is why the Celtics and Lakers have had the success they have had is pretty ridiculous.

Also, the Knicks, playing in New York, would be #1 on that list, not #3, would they not? And the Knicks have not set the world on fire with NBA titles.

Yeah, but what did he do in the FIRST 27 minutes

(You do know I think the 2 should not even be mentioned in the same breath).

Sorry for paraphrasing you. I sincerely apologize. I had no idea you were so sensitive. Here is your exact quote - I have no idea how I could confuse such opposite ideas.

No one will know who he is in 2 years.

So no one will know who he is, and he is basically a bench player in your eyes...except in the real world he's not? Got it.

You compared Tebow to Lin - and then I did the same only to have you tell me I can't compare the sports. AGAIN, WHICH IS IT?


That, and just about everything else you've said....this is the tech age guy, people can go back and actually READ what you wrote preceding your most current post...you know that, right? Heave-ho. Keep digging, pal.

Only Oliver Miller was bigger, but he was a F/C

Anderson was a SG/SF....... He hung around Shaq too much
