All-star Revserves

brightlee

Finally it's coming out.... I read the lists.. I am surprised by some players in the reserved!

West:
Ginobili,
Amare,
Lewis,
Allen,
Marion,
Nash,
Dirk

East,
Arenas,
Jamison,
Z,
J O'Neal,
B Wallace,
Wade,
Pierce


It's really closed to my selctions...

East reserves are DEFINITY OK. (I could say good in this, and can be more balancing in height and power now)

But West.... I am really disappointed for Ginobili in there.......
YES, he's one of the brightest stars in Olympics.. but does he play that good in Spurs? NO!
I would CHOOSE Brand or Gasol in there.

And NO reserves point guard in there in West, West maybe in troubles.....

Well.. I am happy that Lewis in the West....... finally he could be an all-star!!


Also...... 11 yrs later (since 94)... finally this all-star games gets 3 reverse players within same team (Suns)

crap

well the selection was quite ordinary...

BRIGHTLEE u r right that the West may be in trouble..
if Nash get foul trouble then the West will be in deep sh;t..

but at the same time the East seems doesn't got much 3 pt. shooters in the squad..
the Wset may play Zone instead....
then the East will be fu.ked up..........(i don't wanna see this happen......)
just hope fast breaks work for the East.....

the best line-up in my view would be:
East: A.I. + James + Carter + O'NEALs
West: Nash + T-Mac + KG + Dirk + Duncan (sacry..............)

my biggest supprise so far is still the return of Grant Hill though...
besides, Bibby didn't get picked is an upset too...

well after all...
the East's still quick while the West's still big...........

brightlee

Yes I agree with u......

East would be in big troubles.. .. if they don't have quickness.....
I think deeply for the reserves in West..
Only Amare couldn't shoot 3 pts..
that mean... it's unlike last few years... East got quickness and long range shooters......

Yes, I love Grant Hill, to be honest... I am pls that he could play in this level ... espeically after injury in 3 yrs... (what? he played 49 games since moving to Orlando except this year?)

haha
what a secure, comfortable n fine paid job.....................
Grant Hill's a great player....
although i didn't like him much when he's shining....
coz at that time i was a supporter of Miami.....
well,u know.... Hill tried to dunk in Zo's face each and every time they meet..............
and that really pissed me off.... haha

but it's alway's like that
u don't recognise how good some players are unless you look back at their performances when they retire or not your enermies anyomre.....
to me... Hill's a good example... Stockton and Larry Johnson as well..
expecially Stockton.......... his passes are just pathetic............


anyway...
for this year's ALL STAR GAME............
to be honost i can't see any chance the East can win up to this moment..................

brightlee

they have some another examples
David Robinson (6 games in one season, 96-97)
Clyde Drexler (missing 1/2 season after 92 Olympics)
Kevin Willis, (missing all 88-89 season)
of cos.. this one:

Bill Walton!!!!! non-stopping injury to plug this players.
He was out for many seasons after winning the champions in 77.
Then became 6th man of the season in 86

Oops!

isn't it Lakers has 4 all-stars once ?
Shaq - Jones - Van exel - Kobe...not really remember but I do remember Kobe almost collapsed MJ in the game and he was forced on the bench during the 4th quarter

I am glad to see the all-star reserves....coz it seems the NBA has finally passed down the torch to the new generations...

Webber will be the saddest one...at his prime, he has to live under the shadow of KG and TD and he didnt get a ring just becoz of the team injuries in two consecutive years...well...that's life...

brightlee

oh yes.. that's 98 seasons.. I missed that out..
By the way, I still remember the Air-ball from Van Excel in llast mins @4th quad.
Everyone was shocked at that moment.
you know, you never expect an air ball will be happened when you got wide-open.

To be honest, Webber is passing his peak nowadays.....
injury plug him out most of them times.....

vincecarter

y no francis?

brightlee

Zo is Alanzo Mourning....
Before his kidney operation, he was one of the best centers in late 90s
