Brooks' performance did not go unnoticed even though he is not selected for the coming Allstars event. Here are 2 latest articels saying good things about Brooks.

Well he certainly should be there over Kidd. Just goes to show that the Stern doesn't care to watch the Rockets play.

How can he not get recognition? He's scoring 20ppg. That always gets recognition in the NBA. Nevermind that tons of players can do it if they get enough shots, the important thing is that points win games, scoring them wins games, which means all 20ppg scorers are proven winners. It's why the Clippers and Warriors are total badasses.

(I think Brooks will be incredible next year as a 3rd-4th option)

To busy to fit a team with no direction into my schedule. More than likely when we decide what we are doing with the McGrady contract I'll start watching games again.

Kidd is in because this year is in Dallas
Billups deserves more than Brooks
it would take 6 injuries in the All-Star team for Brooks to get a chance

Dirk is starting. Thats enough for Dallas. And yea Billups deserves it more but I actually thought he was a reserve so thats just flat our crap that Kidd got the nod over him.

lol Billups is one of the replacement i didn't know that
damn i'm been too busy at work i hardly pay attention to nba news anymore

Iggyemu · Post #13 » by **Iggyemu** » Sat Feb 13, 2010 3:58 am

Dirk is starting instead of Kobe who pulled out. Melo is probably gonna be SG.

LOL at this article. I love the recognition Carl and Aaron are getting, but did they really have to use this example for Carl:

"He played a big role in shutting down some well-known players (such as David West) "

Didn't West drop a career high 44 points on him?
