Umm, maybe you should stop writing chapter books, and stick to articles. Stop hatin’ on these NBA Stars that you seem to be so jealous of.

I love All-Star weekend but Matt Moore illustrates an aspect of the event that can’t be overlooked: not everyone on the All-Star team deserves the honor. But if they get it…it can have an outsized impact on their lives and how their NBA career is remembered down the road. I’m not saying this is good or bad…but it’s food for thought…all in all…a really good article that makes you think…

Thanks, jjordannba, you’re exactly right. This year is Pierce’s 10th trip to the AllStars.

Paul Pierce is a 10 time all-star, not nine

Don’t watch it if you don’t like this “completely meaningless exhibition in which YOU will barely remember anything outside of who wins MVP and who was on roster, and was constructed using completely meaningless, bogus, and largely flawed methods of election”. WRONG.

I have scores of fond memories from many of the All Star games throughout the years as I get to see the best hoops players in the world (and for the most part these ARE the best players despite your meaningless, bogus, and largely flawed observations) getting to actually show off and have fun with both rivals and friends in a semi competitive exhibition. The “bizarre dichotomy” is that you actually think you know better than other fans how we should view and feel about this game – and yet you are going to be among the millions around the world who watches every minute of it. Why? Oh yeah, so you can write some more negative BS about it tomorrow.
