PLEASE READ - VALUABLE WINNING NBA INFO !!! ( no not a nba is fixed thread) LOL

Durant played for a horrible team. How come he was a All Star so quickly? I'll tell you, because he can do it all, he isn't just a scorer, he is also a leader.

I'll stay local since BW mentioned the Celtics too. I would bet anything that Boston wouldn't trade Rondo straight up for Harris. They just signed Rondo to a 5 year 55 million deal and both Ainge and Doc LOVE him. He is a perfect fit for this team and he already has a ring as a starting PG. You guys can think what you want, i bet there is NO WAY they would do it.

I never said they would.

[wayne1218]

I never said they would.

You didn't? You said he would start for every team in this league. Correct?

Leaders make the all-star team?

Durant is on the all-star teams every year because he was hyped as God coming out of college and people remember things like that.

The same reason Shaq keeps making all-star teams despite the fact that he is way past his prime.

Not to say Durant is bad, but he makes those teams over Harris and Martin because he is "well-known" that doesn't make him better.

Who cares about All Star teams anyway?

[mavskidd02]

Barring the fact that they Harris had to play behind a Steve Nash or Tony Parker he would start. He would start on more than 20+ teams in the NBA.

As would Martin.

..

[wayne1218]

So if we are in year 8, 9 or 10 and Martin & Harris still have ZERO All Star apearances, are they still stars???

How can you call somebody a Star that has played that many years and never even sniffed an all star game? Just makes NO sense to me ......

[wayne1218]

No, all around Stars do.

Try checking his numbers and if you get a chance, watch some of his games. He is there based on what he does. He can go inside and out and carry a team.

I bet the players do. How many "Stars" have played a career in this league without an all star appearance? Name one mavs???????

[mavskidd02]

Has either been to an all star game in 5 years? And they are Stars in this league? Laughable in my book.

You do know FANS vote for all-star games.

Why are you so hung up an All-Star game appearances, they mean so little.

[wayne1218]

This isn't true, Harris and Martin would start on any NBA team.

Try bumping THIS one mavs

and where do the 10 bench players come from. I'll ask again, name a star who played their whole career without 1 all star appearance????????????

[GOLDENGREEK]

i agree. Posting: Another winner with "so-and-so" out doesn't help much afterwards.

there are injury reports everywhere u look

I posted the nj game , the spurs yesterday and wash today

I thought ppl could figure it out on there own.

No Tony Parker and No Duncan is a no brainer -- did it need to be posted before hand ?

I think you're wrong here too, it was only a few months ago the Celtics didn't like Rondo and were exploring trade options. I think they trade Rondo for Harris in a heartbeat.

[MtrCtyPimp]

Dont know whats so difficult to understand here. If a team is missing one of their own top players play on that team for the first game.

I think we can name 2-3 players on every team that would trigger this.
