    <div class="quote_poster">Quoting :</div><div class="quote_post">Hawks forward Shareef Abdur-Rahim says he won't get down on himself or dwell on his predicament, though he appears destined to have another season that will yield individual accolades amidst team failure.

    In an Eastern Conference that has a power shortage at power forward, Abdur-Rahim is putting up the kind of numbers -- 20.4 points, 9.5 rebounds -- that could earn him his second career All-Star appearance come February.

    "It wouldn't even feel right, honestly," Abdur-Rahim, 27, said of possibly making the All-Star team. "Success, as far as I'm concerned, is winning games. Success is not scoring points. From a statistical standpoint, those things -- I hope -- are done in the effort toward winning and not done in the effort toward anything else. If it starts to be something else other than that, then I have to examine myself and look at myself."</div>

    Sad but true. Abdur-Rahim is putting up All-Star numbers yet he will be overlooked.

    Yeah, Rahim is overlooked. Perhaps it is because he is on the Atlanta Hawks. He doesn't get much press and the fans don't know him.
