New York Vinnie will never start a fight, but he's not afraid to finish one.. Mess with New York Vinnie and he'll rip your nuts off and throw them down the sewer!

I think Jose Calderon will be an ALL STAR because is the best PG in the EAST
for the moment!
January 16th, 2009 at 4:59 pm
I really don’t understand why people vote for Tracy McGrady.
January 19th, 2009 at 4:42 pm
I don’t understand why nobody gives Camby respect! He has been the dest defensive player in the league for several years and hasn’t made it to an Allstar game. This is the problem with fan voting.
January 21st, 2009 at 10:55 pm
Danny Granger should be near the top of the forwards list. He doesn’t get enough love from the fans. Yi jianlian shouldn’t even be on the all star ballot. I hope the coaches on the east team will pick up Granger.

Eastern
Forwards – Lebron and KG (good). China is a joke … yi jianlin should not even be considered. The bench should have Danny Granger and Paul Pierce(even tho i hate him) I love how Rashard Lewis who is way better than Hedo isn’t even on ballot. Rashard Lewis > Pierce.
Guards- Iverson and Wade (good). Carter(more forward) and Devin Harris on bench. calderon isn’t an all-star, he is just a good set up point guard.
Centers – Dwight Howard (great). Dalembert ???? … give it to Rasheed Wallace.
Western
Forwards- Tim Duncan and Carmelo (good) even tho melo should be on bench and Dirk starting. Amare(overrated), Pau should take it(im biased … Laker fan)
Guards- KOBE, but ??? T Mac over CP3 – Paul should start. Tony Parker on bench.
Centers- Yao,and Shaq are too old. WHY isn’t Camby ever on all-star team. And Bynum, his time will come.

What was up with Cheryl Miller dissing that kid bringing over the envelope? This league is marketed to the kids, right? Seriously, what’s with her attitude?
Saturday’s events: what a dud. (with the exception of the Nate dunk over Dwight, of course)

May 21st, 2009 at 11:28 am
