I guess they didn't renew his contract like a year ago.

But man, everyone of his tweets just come off like he's sooooo full of himself

 

[iluvjordanxi]

So how many guards are going make the all-star team in the west...


Westbrook
Lillard
Parker
Cp3
Curry
Harden
Kobe
Klay
Monta
Lawson
Conley
Bledsoe
Rubio
Jrue

The players I crossed out haven't shown much improvement or sufficient enough for an allstar apperance. Not only that, their team isn't exactly breaking new barriers.

Rubio has been trash this year, really disappointing smh.

And it's been nearly two years since his injury so that excuse won't work anymore

 

[jaeevolution]

I miss this guy.

The last 5 years of his career have been absolutely wasted.

Next year.

 

[rck3sactown]

Thornton for Gordon

 

[antidope]

Cold.

Batum started his walk to the locker room with 4.5 seconds left in a tie game

He really did on some Larry Bird type stuff. Had his hand up and everything.

 

[sea manup]

 

Where does Mario Chalmers fit into all this PG talk? Does his two rings make him a more viable option going forward than Westbrook? Will the Lakers give him the max to build around Chalmers and Nick Young? Will Kobe be ok coming off the bench for him?

i never wish injury upon any player, but i hope mario chalmers gets a paper cut

and when he puts a band aid on it sticks to his skin real good so that it hurts when he tries to take it off

rubio has always been trash.

no mid range shot , no 3 point shot , not athletic , not any great defender , just  good court vision and dribbling and nothing else

  this Don Nelson article:  http://m.si.com/3697090/4819e899/

calls Monta a "selfish little bastard"

 

[100027]

And he's not a bad athlete either.

Conley should make it, but he will not because of the team record unfortunately. If the team was winning like they were the last few years, they would've had one of those "automatic all-stars" and he would've made it. Bledsoe will more than likely take his spot unless the Grizz go on a mean win streak.

ESPN dropped him. He's nothing more than a troll

I don't get how it's a foregone conclusion that Wall is better than Lillard right now. Wall averages more assists but Lillard is still a solid passer. Lillard is so much of a better shooter than Wall will ever be that I'd favor him over Wall any day. Everything else between them is pretty even as far as skill sets.

Lillard is also leading his team to the best record in the entire league while Wall is 10-13 in the historically bad East right now.

shooting and scoring isn't quite important at the 1 imo. Playmaking, defending, passing are all top priorities imo.

and Wall has an elite game speed, very solid play making ability, and much higher defensive upside imo. just a more dynamic mold of PG. imo.

Because Wall is better at every other facet of basketball that's why. He's a much better defender, a better passer(a decent advatage there), a better rebounder, he's bigger, and more athletic. Lillard also has a much better team than the Wiz so that record is a moot point.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Again, the lengths some of you go to hype a player is just sad. Let all these guys cook. No need to downplay a great young player just to hype up another great young player. It's like splitting hairs when you talk about all these young point guards. Curry, wall, kyrie, Lilliard are all around the same level.

 

[buc em]

The East is ******g awful. If Wall is the future superstar you guys make him out to be he should be able to lead them to a better record than 10-13.

Lillard is a good passer in his own right, he just doesn't need to set up everything for his team because he has other guys that can make plays for themselves on his squad. Neither of them are great defenders so that's kind of a moot point. Wall only averages .7 rebounds more than Lillard too. Lillard also is explosive as ****...he just doesn't show it much with in-game dunks as much as Wall.

 

[awwsome]

Lillard also has more offensive talent around him but averages less assists, how does that work?


Also dudes said Rubio isn't a good defender?

He can't shoot the ball from anywhere but he lives on defense/passing ability

Assists don't tell a lot about a player though

[Chester McFloppy]

John Wall ain't ****.

 

[buc em]

Batum averages close to 6 assists a game himself as a point forward so it's hard for Lillard to rack up the assists numbers like that.
