How about: LaMarcus Aldridge, PF 36 12-17 3-4 6 rebounds, 1 block, +6, 27 points, and a 20 point win? Close enough.
I actually think Lee is more deserving myself for all of the reasons you list. Plus LMA had a very slow start to the year.
I don't think he should have made it, he's been far too inconsistent this season as has the team. He needs the rest and (possibly) extra motivation anyway.
Inconsistent? He has been the most consistent player on this team. You think his points and rebounds are a fluke? This far in the season with this average isn't a mistake.
I wish the thread title would have used Kamla's name then I wouldn't have wasted 3 minutes of my life. Seriously that guy is the most annoying "personality" on NBAtv and I change the channel or hit mute anytime he's on there.
They might leak early but we are not supposed to find out until the official release which is tonight during halftime of the TNT game I believe.
David Lee does not pass the eye test to be an allstar - I wouldn't throw the ball to Lee on either the post or the wing and ask him to win the game, and neither would GS. That said, I love him as a player, just not my image of AS. edit: yes, I would throw it down low to LMA to win a game.
Lee is a product of the system, IMO. He isn't a "go to guy" on the offensive end. He is a garbage man that scores by pick and rolls and offensive put backs. I've never really seen him have a go to move and used in crunch situations. He is damn good and I wold love to have him on my team; but I would definitely rather have Aldridge than Lee and that's not even the homer talking. If you ask coaches around the league, I bet they would take Aldridge over Lee any day of the week.
Im sure if I was a warriors fan I would feel differently but I actually mean this a compliment. We call some guys a "glue" guy. I would call Lee a "super glue" guy if you will
no, announced during NBA tipoff pregame show 4 PM PST TNT followed by barkely looking more like a clown than ever before for his picks. should be entertaining.
