Moon is sick.

Fan voting could help/hurt him

I hope fans aren't too biased towards DH because of what happened last year.

Don't think Gibson is a chucker because he hoisted 20 threes... He really isn't much of a chucker in games as he was this weekend... He just wanted to have fun and when you're hot, you're hot; there's nothing wrong with taking three's when you're shooting over 50% on the night...

I was one of the very very few people saying Seattle should have taken him instead of Durant. Guy is gonna be a stud

That's not a forehead that's a Fivehead.

I'd take Horford, he is a guaranteed allstar for the next 10 years. Roy is great, but it is easier to find swingmen, Durant is just plain overrated by everyone except for Barkley who properly rates him. Yi :-?

, I guess I will withhold judgement because I must be missing something.

I'd take Roy and Durant(in the future) over Horford and maybe Aldridge depending on what your team needs. Durant is only 19...I would imagine that Roy,Aldridge,and Horford would have looked ALOT worse if they had to go against NBA competition at his age.

^ nice avatar. :clap:

Man, Durant will be great in the future.

Lebron is one of a kind, but he did shoot just 41% as a rookie. He improved tremendously, and I expect Durant to do the same.

Horford is a stud, and he's going to be very, very good/great for the next 10 years.

I'd take Roy and Gay in that order if I'm starting a team today. I really don't see the fascination with Horford. He's a good role player. Plus rebounder, solid defender, above average finisher but, he's far from a "guaranteed allstar for the next 10 years."

To be honest, Gibson is normally anything but trigger happy. He really doesn't even shoot enough. But anyone hitting 55% from 3 deserves to shoot at will.

All's fine and dandy, but I just thought on how much e.g. Kobe would be criticized - including from LeBron's fans - if he were as trigger-happy during the All-Star Weekend as Gibson was this time. Despite the simple fact that Bryant is SG instead of PG, so you could rather expect shooting than passing from him. In fact, KB already was criticized because of supposed shooting too much after getting ASG MVP in 2002... :banghead:
