<div class="quote_poster">Quoting emannen:</div><div class="quote_post">Again you are wrong. This is the second rime I have responded to a post of yours about leadership. How many leaders do the Suns need. How many do the Lakers have? Very vague post on leadership. Shaq is the most dominant player and 3rd best player in the league right now (Timmy, KG), in my opinion. What do you mean Shaq is a leader. A leader leads by example. What did Shaq do in L.A.? He always cried about getting the ball, did nothing for team chemistry, openly critized managment, did not maintain a good playing weight. He did'nt lead on the court. Yes you can make the case he led by example (i.e.-how he played) but is A.I. a great team leader? D. Wayde? An excellent player but I have not seen any evidence that he is a great team leader. Nash is definetly a leader, Amare and all he did this summer for the Suns this summer in recruiting Nash and Q is a leader. What is leadership in the NBA anymore anyway. Give me your humble opinion and how it will help the Heat so much and hurt the Suns. I'm sure many other posters would like to hear your very humble opinion on the subject. Okay and now you say the two Suns players do not deserve to compete for their ountry. If anything D-Wade does not deserve to be there (he wasen't a last minute selection for nothing). Let's compare numbers last year MATRIX YEAR G GS MIN FG FG% 3P 3P% FT FT% STL BLK TO PF OFF DEF TOT AST PTS 2003-2004 79 79 40.7 7.5-17.0 .440 1.1-3.4 .340 2.9-3.4 .851 2.11 1.3 2.0 2.6 2.7 6.6 9.3 2.7 19.0 AMARE YEAR G GS MIN FG FG% 3P 3P% FT FT% STL BLK TO PF OFF DEF TOT AST PTS 2003-2004 55 53 36.8 7.5-15.7 .475 0.0-0.1 .200 5.6-7.9 .713 1.16 1.6 3.2 3.4 2.9 6.2 9.0 1.4 20.6 D-Wade YEAR G GS MIN FG FG% 3P 3P% FT FT% STL BLK TO PF OFF DEF TOT AST PTS 2003-2004 61 56 34.9 6.1-13.1 .465 0.3-0.9 .302 3.8-5.1 .747 1.41 0.6 3.2 2.3 1.4 2.7 4.0 4.5 16.2 Yes a very good year but not up to par with either of the Suns represenatives. So if these two Suns players should not be in the Olympics should D-Wade? Also I guess you are saying that Amare former ROY, Matrix former All-Star do not deserve to be respected. Typical no-nothing. Also comparing the Suns to the Heat. Give the Suns a little respect. Five players on ths team are capable All-Stars and two have been already. The Heat have 3 possible All0Stars and two have been already. So the talent for the Suns is their. And please do not even give the arguement that W. Person is a great or legit player. I respect the man, former Sun, great shooter. He is the same player as a gut like Casey J. He averaged 6 points for the Hawks last year (The Hawks, that WNBA team in Atlanta)! He is nothing to be estatic about. Please respond to this post with your opinion because I have already gave you part of mine.</div> Ace?
