Comments

so they listed amare as a center?

i suppose they needed at least one big name on it.

I’m surprised Kaman didn’t make the list for West centers.

by intuitive on Nov 10, 2009 4:57 PM PST reply actions 0 recs

Kaman

its really a joke that he is not on the list…

he is the best center in the West so far this season

and eric gordon… kid is averaging 20 PPG and ramon session t mac and AI made the list before he did… JOKE

by matthewmafa on Nov 10, 2009 6:15 PM PST reply actions 0 recs

Yeah, Kaman is averaging 20+ and10+

How could he not be on there?

Camby? Really?

Chris Kaman's ranks in the Western Conference among centers......

Points 1st
Rebounds 5th
Blocks 4th
Efficiency 2nd (behind Bynum, yeah)

How is he not on the ballot?

and he was just named...

western conference player of the week… to make up for not being on the ballot tho he did have a great week

In the first week of October, and given that Camby was on a tear last year and Kaman was injured for most of the year, it makes sense that the committee would have put him on the ballot ahead of Kaman in that case.

Hindsight is always 20/20.

See a post from Marc Stein (ESPN columnist on the committee) on TrueHoop:

To secure ourselves against defeat lies in our own hands, but the opportunity of defeating the enemy is provided by the enemy himself.

I found a couple of things funny about that article.....

first…..It’s total BS. Almost that entire article is designed to mask the fact that they system for determining players to put on the ballot is stupid, and archaic. A month to print ballots so they can be ready in mid November? Are you serious. Like one commenter said, you can print a zillion copies of a newspaper overnight, but it takes a month to print all-star ballots? Ridiculous.

The other interesting thing was in the comments. Usually those articles are full of lame, juvenile, “Kobe Sucks, LeBron Rules” kind of comments, but there was none of that. Amazing how people can grow up when they are united over a particular issue. David Stern, take note.

Hence why

You don’t blame the people who made the ballot, but the way the NBA organizes.

Also, if you haven’t gathered it already, the regular comments you see on ESPN are usually from fans who don’t have the emotional capacity, adequate intelligence, simple willingness, or all of the previous items to express an actual point beyond the rather inane “PLAYER X ROCKS. PLAYER Y SUCKS. WRITER Z IS WRONG!!” so go figure.

Regarding all-stars in general, I think most all the slots should go to guys on winning teams. So I’m OK that Kaman was left off.

Also, it is ironic to see Iverson on the list. I think he made the starting team for the east last year.

And yes I am a 2009 World Champion Fan.

lol yea, but we all knew iverson didnt deserve that spot

In Kobe we trust!

by robi s on Nov 11, 2009 12:03 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs

I’m sure he think he did which makes it all the more amusing for us non Iverson fans. I like it for the same reason I enjoy seeing Shaq lose in Mia, Phx, Cle. They both deserve their fates.

And yes I am a 2009 World Champion Fan.
