    Not according to KP. KP said that Aldridge was the best player in that draft.

    Ah, 'Spanish Chocolate' and 'Pistol Pete' Fernandez. I remember them. They were fun. What ever happened to those guys?

    Are you seriously comparing B-Roy to a coke head who tried to iron his girlfriends stretchmarks off...with an actual iron?

    That was a little something that definitely makes me hope it happens for him. He is definitely going through a rough patch in his and his families lives, and I know how hard that can be to watch a family member fight a disease, and be helpless except for support purposes.

    Great stuff. LA definitely deserves some All-Star recognition, and who would've thought that at the beginning of the season? But he's earned it.

    I thought his Mom's cancer was merely an excuse for a lazy LMA to skip the Team USA camp.

    Colangelo looks like a major league asshole right about now.

    I agree with the author. The only way LaMarcus makes it is if Carmelo gets traded to the East before the All Star game.

    Re: JA Adande on LMA's All-Star chances

    It says she was diagnosed during the preseason. Isn't that after the Team USA camp?

    Re: JA Adande on LMA's All-Star chances

    As I remember the story in the local media, he made public that she had cancer at the preseason media day, not that she was diagnosed then, and that's why he stayed close to home all summer long.

    Very nice article. I hope Aldridge's mother recovers from her cancer and lives many more years.

    I just wish it hadn't taken a family tragedy to get Aldridge to play up to his potential.

    What's funny about it? I liked the article, I was touched by the story, and I sincerely hope that Aldridge's mother beats her cancer.

    I also think it's a shame that Aldridge has been playing like Rasheed Wallace for the last four years instead of developing his inside game. I'm glad it finally happened, and we're all seeing the great results.

    Sorry you think this is "garbage." I happen to think it's the truth.

    I hope LMA makes it too but I doubt it happens. JA is the man for writing that article.
