<div class="quote_poster">Quoting allstar44:</div><div class="quote_post">Allstar votes?? Thats a very dumb arguement first of all because he got more votes than anyone in the league... second of all he is the shortest out of tmac, lebron, melo, kobe, etc. and the only one to play small forward, is that his fault? Next year He might be a 2. Ludacris06 Vince is underrated because this is his worst year and still was up there in many statistic categories including scoring (#7). he ended up being soewhere higher when tmac and AI didnt play the whole season and were takin off the chart. His worst year ever and you say hes garbage? lol its clear your just speaking because you gave no evidence to back up your random claim. Stats drop, still among the best.. I think Jalen Rose is overrated, well Im speaking from what I saw last season since he came to raptors. His defence is not strong, People believe he can run the point as good as another true point gaurd, but he turns the ball over soo much and throws lazy passes, runs down the court and shoots before anyone is tehre for rebound, hardly ever looks for a cutter, The only quality points i saw were posting up smaller gaurds. Im just shocked at how he shoots about 39% and scores 15-17 a game..</div> That BS Vince is he his own special Column. ASSOCIATED PRESS Dec. 26 ?

All the forwards are listed together, and all the guards are listed together, so if people want to vote for two PF's, they can, ex: KG and Duncan. ...anyways, I don't really care that much about this, but even in 2001 when Carter had more superstars I guess, he still won it, people just like seeing the guy, who cares.</div> here is the link http://famulus.msnbc.com/famulusspt/apmega...712.asp?spt=nba i dont see carter with that many votes. but what i am saying is that i think Vince Carter is overrated when it come to all star voting because there is no one there like in the mighty powerful western teams. Is there a harder choice in the West forwards? How do you pick two from this list: Tim Duncan, Kevin Garnett, Dirk Nowitzki, and Zach Randolph?
^^^ What are you comparing too? For some reason you put in West guard, but you're comparing to West Forwards, like I said, even when he had "good players" in his categoty, he still won, who cares. Also you just explained why Elton Brand is underatted through you calling him a superstar in the making, he's not in the making, he's already there. Kirilenko isn't a superstar at this moment in his career, he was even arguably an All-Star. I like how you really neglected the East, I guess Lamar Odom, Kenyon Martin, and Shareef Abdur Rahim <font size="1">(he was in the East till after All-Star game)</font> aren't good players, you included Randolph, so Odom and Martin have to be in. Richard Jefferson is also arguably a "superstar in the making", and Antoine Walker was considered one when he was in the East, but he doesn't count, he' in the West. Jamal Mashburn would be considered one every other year but this year where he was injured and doesn't look to ever be coming back to being a star player.

I wouldnt call Vince overrated, he just inst lucky he would be one helluva player today if he wasnt always injured..he used to an all around great player, but now all he can do is dunk.. Rashard Lewis is overrated also, he can dunk and one night he can pour in 15 points, but the next 3 games he will put in just 9, 11, and 13..he is far too inconsistent and that is really hurting him, I am looking for him to become a solid player this year. Erick Dampier is overrated, he got up this year because it was his contract year and he wanted some dough..lets see how he plays once he gets his contract, the old Erick where he could give a rat's ass about the game? Or last years where he loved it because he was in teh running for a big pay day?

The West is loaded at guard or forward. which means the more superstars you have its less votes. so if you have all these great superstar and superstars in making they are taking votes from each other which means why Vince Carter gets so many vote. put him in the west and you will see he won't be in the top 3 plus someone that can take your team to the next level(like Kirilenko) is a superstar. you will see what Richard Jefferson will do now that K_Mart and Kittles are out. Richard Jefferson can not take over a game now. maybe in a few years but he is not a superstar. H

^^ I guess he is, but so is Ben Wallace with the next East center to him being Alonzo Mourning, but who really cares? Actually last year when Kmart and Kidd were out Jefferson was averaging 24.4 PPG, 7.6 RPG, and 6.4 APG, and still shooting 52.7% from the field, so no he doesn't need those guys (Kenyon and Kittles) but it would be good to have them.

Vince would not lead the league in All-Star votes if he was in the Western confrence. If he did, fans just cut of a bunch of deserving players. Like that other guy said, Vince in the NBA is like Vince in the WNBA in terms of All-Star votes.

It isnt hard to adjust your team to stop or contain one person. I can give a very good excuse why Jefferson had those numbers. Teams were used to seeing Kidd, K-Mart, and Jefferson together.

Carter is more of an offensive rebounder than defensive, Kevin O'neil didn't want the Raptors getting offensive rebounds because he wanted them getting back on defense, hence the drop in rebounds, common luda, expected better. In the beginning of the season he was going on the offensive glass and getting put back dunks etc, but stopped that a few games later, coaches orders, if he had his normal offensive glass crashing he would've averaged about one more offensive rebound which would push his average to 5.8 RPG. Poor defense, no, his defense is not good but it's about average, but not poor, he's not a garbage defender just not a good one mostly due to effort. Vince doesn't guard Iverson when the Raptors play Philly. Also don't put up stuff like this without showing both sides: Carter averaged 28.0 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 7.0 assists against the Celtics, and shot 48.8%, great D by Pierce there right? Agaisnt Philly 22.8 - 5.5 - 6.5, but shot garbage at 39.5%, but sucked against Orlando averaed 16-4-7, but what a bad measure, just showing what others scored on him Efficiency, weren't you just saying he doesn't compare to AI, then you bring up efficiency and he beats AI, isn't AI 36th? Really though, Orlando was garbage, Philly had the same record and were doing better without AI <font size="1">(means nothing)</font>, and Boston beat the Raptors by 3 games, and when Vince was out for 9 games the Raptors were 0-9. Then turnovers? I know you watched some Raptors games, if you did you'd know why when the team didn't move on offense, and all it was was pure isolation (coaches will). You'd also know that Michael Curry is garbage, he was on the Pistons, and Milt Palacio and Robert Archibald suck, and only on player on the Raptors bench Jerome Moiso who hardly played shot over 40%. Pierce was 3rd in the league in turnovers, shot worse than Carter, and shot 29% from long range, much more impressive, and he only averaged 0.3 more assists. Iverson led the league in turnovers, and shot worse. Also consistency? If you actually look at consistency throughout all the star SG's, you won't even bring that up. He's maybe even more consistent than Pierce, and not any more or less than the other guys, I'll show you if you want.
