The point was TMAC and Kobe both started in the all star game(last year) and you said that TMAC plays both SF/SG but Kobe and TMAC both started at the guard positions. You also said TMAC and Kobe didn't start in the all star game, get your facts straight before you make a statement.

Ok, I'll bite. You didn't say anything about last year, so I was going off of the one that just passed. Also, the Allstar Game doesn't go off of pg/sg/sf/pf/c, it goes off of 2 guards, 2 forwards, and a center.

What the OP wrote was pg/sg/sf/pf/c, not g/g/f/f/c, so putting Bynum or Kaman in over any PF would be dumb.

Does it make sense now?

I wasn't arguing anything with Bynum or Kaman just read a statement which was incorrect, also I agree if the criteria is pg/sg/sf/pf/c that it should be Bynum or Kaman technically.

Calderon
Dunleavy
Turkoglu
Jefferson
Kaman

Why has no one mentioned Jefferson? He's easily the most improved player in the league.

I'm shocked that Ronnie Brewer's name hasn't even been brought up. They guy is one of the most efficient players in the league, and was plain lost and out of sorts last year. Now, he has the 3rd or 4th biggest jump in ppg in the league, and is a demon steals guy. Monta was very good last year, no way he should be mentioned. Calderon was also extremely good last year, he simply got much more opportunity. Brewer and Gay should be the wings on any all-improved team. And no way should you exclude Bynum just because he isn't strictly a PF. The NBA is really 1 point, 2 wings and 2 bigs right now. The old 2 guards, 2 forwards 1 center configuration is way out of date.

al jefferson hasn't improved. he's just getting more opportunities to lead a terrible team, something that is becoming synonymous with his career.
