Jeez it's been said like 10 times.
Yeah, but aren't there only forwards and crap? T-Mac, for example, was voted in as a Forward, not a Small Forward, so no clue what you're talking about, man.
There are no sf/pf in the all-star game. There are just forwards. Dirk, KG, Duncan, TMac and Brand will all make it ahead of him and Marion is a dominant regular season player, he probably won't be left out. Then there's Pau, possibly Amare like I said. Odom is a good player but he has no chance in the West unless he calls himself a center.

You think all these star players will be star players all the time? well guess what. Coaches give other players chances all the time. if they see a person emerge in to all star form who really deserves it, they pick them over someone who has been an allstar multiple times and really doesnt deserve it that year. think about that.idiot.</div>Read what I just said. How do you think Michael Redd made the All-star team in 03-04 and didnt make it this year? they choose players every year. KG wasnt an all-star this year but he made the team, didnt he? Pau Gasol isnt an allstar every year.

Yeah. So Lamar would probably battle Shawn Marion for the spot next year. Lamar beat Marion in the battle between each other in this year's playoffs even though Marion won the war. We'll see what happens.
Lamar Odom isn't an all star. In the beggining when he 1st joined the league, everyone thought he would be an al star, but hes wall to inconsistent, and un willing to take over games when needed.
How f*cking hard is it to want to score more its harder to pass more, not score more. if he really f*cking wanted to he would. I had to get that out, so don't mind the cursing. You guys make no sense. Its not that hard to score more when you have the talent to do so.

Well I agree with you. Kobe won't score 35 PPG again next season. Probably around 30 PPG. Lamar's points should go up by 5-6 points. It should be around 20 PPG next year. In an offseason, players DO get better, y'know. If Kobe lets Lamar be more of a leader also, it won't have to be a Jordan/Pippen sidekick thing. it can be more of a duo. Not like Batman and Robin. more like GATMAN and Robin. Where they're both almost equal. Lamar isnt as good as Kobe, not even close but on the team they should be on equal terms.

We saw some of his talent in the 2nd half of the season, hopefully that wasn't just a one off. If Lamar can play to his potential, lakers will win 50+ games.
