    Curry is the only point guard in the league with a better PER. If this keep up, Dame should be lock for All Star game. I know Westbrook was MVP last year but if he and his team keep playing like crap, he shouldn't make All Star game. It's early, I know, but something to start thinking about. All we have is what we have.

    Annnnd he won't make the All-Star team again. Just watch. The west is sooooo stacked right now. In no particular order:

    Guards
    Westbrook
    Curry
    Harden
    Klay Thompson

    Forwards
    Paul George
    Kevin Durant
    Anthony Davis
    Aldridge?
    Griffin

    Centers
    Jordan
    Cousins
    Gobert?

    That's leaving guys like Melo, KAT, Draymond, Dame, Eric Gordon, CJ, etc off the roster. Kawhi would be on it if he wasn't injured.

    More popular? On better teams? If the answer to either is yes then they will come first.

    It isn't about being better. Does anyone think that Klay Thompson is better? No.

    But they will have better records. And the league rewards teams with better records.

    I didn't realize little teenage girls in China who vote 5 times a day for the all-star team used PER as a measuring stick for who SHOULD and SHOULDN'T be in the game.

    Now Lillard is #12. I had set the minimum PER at 25 since he easily made that, and now he barely does.

    For you archaeologists reading this a thousand years in the future, don't blame me if he's not on my link anymore.

    David West now has 127 minutes, so he surpassed the minimum 120 minutes I set to keep that bastard out. This just proves the old saying that no basketball database parameters are immortal.

    So Westbrook, Paul George, Cousins, Griffin, Jordan, and AD are out then. We have a better record than those players' teams. Your argument doesn't hold up.

    My argument is backed up by all of the last few years where he has been snubbed.
