NBA.com giving a little more attention to Rudy? 

Post#1 » by thebossman » Mon Feb 11, 2008 2:21 am

I dont visit the NBA.com website everyday but I do check it often for boxscores and it seems to me that everytime they promote the "WE DUNK YOU DECIDE" campaign for the sprite rising stars dunk off there is always a picture of Rudy Gay. I have yet to see Moon on there, I think I saw a pick with Howard and one with Green, but never Moon. I have seen Rudy up there in atleast 3 different picks, on three different days.

Anyone else notice this? and you think Moon's chances will be hurt since hes not as big as a name as Howard or the other competitors?

Changed the title. -Schad.

Changed title again -TheBossMan

- just so people dont think Moon isnt getting any attention - just that Rudy is getting more.

Rofl, I was expecting such a different topic when I entered this thread.

Yeah Ive noticed it though. No biggie. Moons just not well known around the league

Not being well known is going to hurt Moon this year as the NBA is letting fans vote for the winner.

If it was just judges then I think Moon would have a good chance of winning, but with fans voting I think Howard is going to run away with it.

The amount of press Moon's been getting this season compared to Rudy is not even close.

Rudy can only hope to get half of the amount of coverage Moon's been getting this year.

Well Rudy Gay is the better player, Drunks more, can drive, can shoot. I can see why he gets more coverage than moon.

I have noticed the pro Gay agenda on NBA.com too.

Its not just nba.com, I see Gay pics all over the internet.

I've even had some Gay pop up adds.

There is so much Gay being shoved down our throats its getting hard to swallow.
