Maybe the media like him or something, but if Kobe/LeBron/Duncan/Melo, etc. had a team that was as bad at that team last year,
they wouldn't have seen the end of it on ESPN and the internet. True superstars don't let their team be THAT bad

Don't give me any of that tanking bs, they didn't start going into full tank mode until Pat Riley starting scouting college players instead of coachinn

his team was doing bad and he was injured...he tried to come back to early and give them a lift but all he did was hurt himself and the team more by notbeing full recovered....

so your saying he is not a superstar for having a bad season playing injured last year???

It's kinda close though.

Yao > Bynum

T-Mac < Kobe

Gasol = Artest, IMO.

Gasol is a skilled big man no doubt, but, I think once you get in his head/get physical with him, you can take him out of his game. Sorta like what KG did. Artest gives up height, but he can body Gasol to try and prevent him from getting deep position. And whatever height Artest lacks on the defensive end, hemakes up for it on the offensive end, as, Artest has SG skills and quickness to beat Gasol facing the basket.

What's more important is the Rockets have two guys who can play top notch D out on the peremiter, or, they could double down on Kobe, with Artest andShane alternating. That's tough.

I'd take Shane + Brent Barry + Landry off the Rockets bench then any three from the Lakers bench, though. Yes, bias.

I have to agree with the exception of the bench comment

. That'sa maybe.

Tmac will match Kobe tit-for-tat in scoring, even if his defense is nowhere near the caliber of Kobe's. Yao will demolish Bynum unless he gets in foultrouble and Gasol is mentally weak. Even though Artest wouldn't be guarding Gasol all game long, he does have somewhat advantage over him just becausehe's physical. If you're physical with Gasol, he will cave in.
 
Dwyane Wade has shaved his head and won't let his hair grow out the way Vince Carter and Gary Payton did during the Sydney Olympics of 2000.

Vince was a beast when he grew his hair out

They'll be at least .500, which is a hell of a lot better than 15 games. We still need 1 more piece anyway.

and WADE > MELO

Why yall *substitutes* acting surprised ? I like Melo's game but he is not a superstar.
 
The NBA-Euro exodus continues ...
By J.E. Skeets

I'm trusting The Sport Count's Babelfish skills here, but MetroNews Italia is reporting that 40-year old, six-time All-Star, and baby-makin' machine (

) Shawn Kemp has been offered a contract by Italian club Premiata Montegranaro. So, for those of you with your "NBA-Euro Bingo cards" out at home, that brings the list of players to have signed or be considering a move overseas to: Childress, Garbajosa, Delfino, Nachbar, Krstic, Brezec, Landry and Delonte West. Hopefully Reignman completes that elusive "X" you're gunning for.
