    Quick stat comparison between the three through basketball reference in case anyone wanted to look at it.

    Aldridge had the highest PER of the three with the lowest usage rate, having the highest FG%, best reb% and best blk%. Only place he finishes behind these two is team record. And market size.

    Jobbed?

    Maybe if he had led his team to the playoffs he would have won what was nearly a tie vote for those last few slots.

    Dirk gets grandfathered in.

    Same argument that people have against Love. Putting up big stats on a non playoff team right?

    Here's the reason right here:

    Explains why Blake Griffin would be elected second team.

    Blake Griffin is ripe for a nice knee injury.

    That's a good point. That said, Love is a total loser.

    Not true! In fact, it says "must spread rep around before you can rep this douchebag again!"
    I probably give out more "rep" than most people on here.

    Three point percentage doesn't really seem like a fair stat for a power forward :devilwink:

    Just think of how well LA would have done with an actual point guard like Rubio instead of an overweight triceretops at point.

    Imagine what LA could have done if he was coddled by the refs like Love is.

    My point was that the same people that bitched about how Love shouldn't make an all-star team or he isn't shit because he puts up these stats on a non playoff team better hold LA to the same standards.
