PG Baron Davis
SG Tracy McGrady
SF Andre Iguodala
PF Al Jefferson
C Marcus Camby

Sorry it took so long.


Tmac was hurt hello......how can you play and WHY should you be selected when HURT lol
Hedo turk....has been helping and stepping up this year like MOST IMPROVED AWARD has his name all over it....he has hit game winning baskets and has almost a triple double and his team has a far better record than the 76ers....

Manu boy he has had a good year hasnt he.......


Ok, first off, you never stipulated that they didn't have to be injured.

Ginobili may be good, but TMac has stepped up his game in the absence of Yao to help his team win an impressive 19 straight games. He, along with his teammates, has elevated the Rockets in the thick of things as far as the playoff picture. TMac is doing more with less talent on his team because Gino has definitely the better supporting cast.

Here are stats:
Ginobili: 20.6 ppg/ 5 rpg/ 4.7 apg/1.6 spg/0.3 bpg/2.8 topg/2.5 pfpg

TMac: 22 ppg/ 4.9 rpg/ 5.3 apg/ 0.5 spg/1.1 bpg/1.5 topg/1.4 pfpg

As you can see, TMac is a better scorer and passer, and while Gino may be a better FT shooter..TMac does not turn the ball over or foul out as much. Manu is likely to have twice the personals fouls in a game. What good is Ginobili if he's gonna get into foul trouble. Can't really help if he's on the bench right?

Iguodala vs. Terkuglu

Terkuglu: 19.6 ppg/6.1 rpg/4.9 apg/0.9 spg/0.3 bpg/ 3 topg/3.1 pfpg
Iguodala: 19.6 ppg/5.5 rpd/4.6 apg/2.1 spg/0.7 bpg/ 2.8 topg/2.3 pfpg

Hedo a slightly better passer and rebounder(not by much). But overall, Iguodala is a better overall defender. I prefer the D.


My Bad...I just thought that people would come to the COMMON SENSE CONCLUSION that if someone is injured they cant play in the all star game...... MY BAD.....!!!!!
PS: i think i would have picked him if he was legit lolololol

Igudala has a much better team record and that counts for alot of it i heard Hedo's name alot more than iggy (never).....

Those stats Manu is basicly the same as Tmac can you believe that TOO BAD MANU WAS NOT HURT!!!!!l LOLOLOL

Hedo has been really clutch with his game winners that too me is a big thing when you talk about ALL STAR material......
Also that is the diffreence of going home with a Win or a Lose thats big.....


Your lineup is decent but although Ginobili and Terkuglu present some intangibles in the game, they also are more likely to hurt their team with the higher turnover and personal foul ratio. Both average almost 3 turnovers per game, and that could be crucial to the outcome in a close tightly played contest.

I definitely have the better shot blockers in TMac and Igoudala. Iguodala is also a decent at creating steals. You need some defense to help out Camby on the team, and my squad is better overall on that side of the ball. In addition to that, TMac and Iguodala can play with some sustained offense as they can also put up some points if necessary.

TMac and Iguodala are more likely to remain in the duration of the game because they do not get into foul trouble as much as Hedo and Gino. If you want top of the line non all-star players, you'd want them on the floor as much as possible.
It would also be beneficial if they were better ball handlers, who rarely gives up the ball to the opponent. That bodes well with my team.

Overall, my team provides better defensive intensity without any drawbacks on the offensive end. TMac and Iguodala are better scorers.

I agree with T-Mac only because of how he is keeping the Rockets in the playoff hunt with Yao out for the season

Because where in that statement of anywhere in this TD did you decide that Injured players were exempt?

How about where did you say no stats after the break?

Or players that should have made it but didnt?

The fact is that you worded it differently then you are ranting about
