    I'm thinking its a make up call for the All Star snub. I mean c'mon, he really has been making the decision makers for these "extracurricular" teams look pretty damn stupid of late.......

    Good to see Lillard finally beat out that Dillard kid.

    I hope Dillard works out with Team USA and they cut him, sending him into an NBA league-wide FU thrashing for the next 4 years.

    If we get to the playoffs with .500 record or above, Dame needs to be on an all NBA team. Fuck Klay Thompson.

    That would be the true way to compensate for the all star snub.

    I never said that THEY made the call. I said that that's the story THEY made up to save their face. Read it again.

    And 1 more thing: It's not on a spot on the team, it's a spot to try out for the team.

    Westbrook, Paul, curry, harden, Thompson???

    Lillard, wall, Lowry/derozan battling for that last spot. Maybe they give it to wade on rep

    It's gonna be tricky for sure, but Dame can do it. Just gotta increase those FG%s and win

    Paul is overrated. Harden too. I'd pick Dame before both of them.

    Right now, Dame's averaging 24ppg, 7.3apg and 4.4 rpg with a 21 PER. That's happened 26x in history (by 9 dudes), with Westbrook and Dame on track to join this year. If you remove the PER requirement, Havlicek did it twice as well:

    10x: Oscar Robertson
    5x: LeBron James
    2x: Bird, Chamberlain, Wade, West
    1x: Jordan, Payton, Westbrook

    Removing the rebounding requirement, you get a few more guys like Tiny Archibald and Allen Iverson, but it's also only been done 39x. Either way, Dame's in rarified air.
