    I wasn't sure which guy it was who was making his picks but he left off Love because of all his injuries and picked Aldridge "because that team is very thin and he has them at a 16-15 record."

    Love has no business in the all star game this year. Love is shooting 35% from the field and 22% from 3. And love is shooting five 3 pointers a game!

    Believe it or not Tim Duncan is again if you are talking PER and Advanced Stats. (And here I thought he would be retired soon) Some consider him a Center but there is no Center on the ballot anymore.

    I was ready to say Blake was better, but than I looked at his stats. And then I forgot that I had earlier mentioned that his stats have gotten worse every year he's been in the league. Still good stats, but the important ones have gone down.

    PPG and Rebounds.

    Yeah, this year the Clippers are loaded so his stats aren't as vital, but he's not the stud he was made out to be.

    Not sure that LaMarcus is the best PF in the game, but it's not as clear cut one guy is the best right now.

    One thing is for certain, of the 4 LA based All Star Starters (potentially) only Chris Paul and Kobe deserve it.

    I really lost motivation to finis this post. Anyone want to give it a shot?

    Griffin = lots of hype and excitement.

    But he's overrated.

    Sure. Griffin is garbage, Duncan is the best PF of all time. Aldridge is on the cusp of becoming the best PF in the league. He is underappreciated in this forum.

    whatever you want to call him Duncan plays approximately the same roll as LMA and at least so far this year has been way better.

    Head to head, Aldridge usually beats Duncan though.
