Look at the numbers posted earlier. Hedo's numbers this year are on par with Peja's best year.


Or that just proves that numbers don't tell the whole story.

Please alert me when Hedo can claim to be an allstar, an MVP candidate, or not have a breakout year in 1 of the worst conferences in professional sports history.

Numbers show that Hedo does more than shoot and play matador defense. Peja was an all star, so was Jamaal Magloire. Hedo is a better player than Peja in most aspects of basketball. But hey, Peja got those extra 3 points per game, even if he did give up 8 more on defense.

About the All-Star games:
Peja played at the deepest position for the conference over those years and still made the team. Who exactly was Magloire competing against for his AllStar spot? Also, Peja is a THREE time allstar. How many times did Magloire make it again?

As for your "all around" game argument:
John Salmons is better than Peja in "most aspects of basketball". Try to find a single Kings fan that will take Salmons right now over Peja when he was still on the Kings.
