    Voting ended Jan. 23. You say he started looking great one month earlier. How does this disprove my statement that nationwide voters didn't have time to notice him?

    I figured out his mpg, but it was inconclusive.

    37.3 Oct
    39.7 Nov
    35.2 Dec 1-14
    40.3 Dec 15-30
    40.6 Jan
    42.0 Feb

    Wrong. Duncan is a Winner. Best record in West. Winners belong.

    The Big Pretender of the West All-Star Team (aside from the Yao thing, but he was replaced) was:

    Carmello Anthony. Dude sucked balls for much of the first half of the season. Didn't anybody notice?

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    It wasn't aimed at disproving that. Just on your claim that he only played well for two weeks before voting ended, which undersells it by about three weeks.

    No I DID NOT notice him sucking balls... I'm not allowed to look at those kind of magazines until I'm over 18.

    Voting doesn't matter.

    Voting doesn't matter.

    Voting doesn't matter.

    Stern picked the replacment just before the All-Star game.

    Thus, Stern picked a dude putting up monster numbers on a very, very crappy team that barely wins any games, over the team MVP, and recently promoted #1 offensive option after the superstar goes out with injury on a team winning lots of games who is right in the thick of the playoff hunt.

    Stern has no fucking excuse other than his typical BULLSHIT.

    When it suits him he has picked a 3rd or even 4th player on a winning team, even though said player has medicore stats. When it suits him, as now, he picks a stat whore on one the very worst teams in the NBA.

    I wonder if the All-star snub will help him get a few extra votes for MIP?

    Actually, I'd say he's more likely to be all-NBA 3rd team at this moment. This is how I see things at the moment.

    1st
    Kobe
    Rose
    James
    Durant
    Howard

    2nd
    Westbrook
    Wade
    Melo
    Dirk
    Amare

    3rd
    Paul
    Ginobili
    Aldridge
    Gasol
    Horford

    I do believe I just read someone who expects intelligence from Stern. Someone who thinks Stern should select all-stars more wisely than Joe Sixpack. This is the first time for me and I'll always remember you.

    Why am I remembering Spud right now?

    Hey everybody... don't believe a word jlprk says about me... I had nothing to do with sacrificing that goat's virginity!

    I don't know but it finally got him noticed! I'd say we have to go on a tear and win a bunch of games on Aldridge's back for him to be selected. So basically all he has to do is match his play for the next 18 games! Tall order, but he's proved capable.

    What does all-NBA have to do with Most Improved Player? If your on an all-NBA team you probably don't need to improve much.

    Heh heh, I hooked you with the old bait and switch. I posted a full month in one post, and 2 weeks in another. Gotcha, fishee!!!!

    Jlprk is full of tricks!!!

    I had skipped that "sacrifice a goat" thread because it sounded like a waste of my ultra-serious time, but now, you got me aching to read it.

    As for my smelling like a goat, how did you guess that I take a shower once a month?

    Honestly why the hell does anybody care? All I can think of is that he got 5 or 6 days off at home after playing 45 minutes a night for a month and half.

    disagree if thats how the votes come down as his season just hasn't been that good. I could see Gasol making 2nd over LA though.

    Yea turned out good in the long run. It's all about respect, and it was nice to hear LBJ give some.
