Wrong.
He made the All-Star team because he deserves it. He's led the league in FG % for going on two consecutive seasons now (cleans up anything and everything in the proximity of the rim), ranks 1st in offensive rebounds, 3rd overall in boards off the glass, is the starting Center for the team with the 2nd best Eastern Conference record and is also one of the greatest overall defenders in the game today. Those are facts.
But let's not let the fact's get in the way of his all-star selection...
Also, you act as if Tyson Chandler winning a championship as an NBA starting Center, earning Defensive Player of the Year award honors last season and also becoming an Olympic Champion as USA's starting Center is a knock against Chandler himself. And now he's an All-Star.
When in actual reality? He's one of the best Center's in the game today.
I just realized who you are ...
YOU ARE NIXLUVA's sister!
How did I miss that????? SMFH
Why is this allowed? I'm talking basketball in regards to Tyson Chandler, excited about our first All-Star Center since Patrick Ewing; but yet, this guys allowed to off topic with personal attacks calling me the sister of Nixluva? How is this type of trolling, attacking and derailing of a thread allowed?
Getting off of here for a while.
NYK,
I did not mean to offend you. Nixluva's sister is not a bad thing - I just meant that you have his positive style of posting.
I kibbutz a lot and at times go to far.
Please don't mind me - I mean no harm.
I think that its great that you only see the positive in our knicks.
Only see the positive in our Knicks?
When's the last time we've featured a top 5 NBA player? And for those who can't admit that Melo's at least s a top 5 NBA franchise player, when's the last time we've featured a top 10 NBA player then? Would the answer be Patrick Ewing?
When's the last time we've won an Atlantic Division Title? Was it 1994? How many games are we currently up on Brooklyn?
When's the last time we've been 2nd place of the entire Eastern Conference 40 games into the regular season?
When's the last time we've been 12.0 games above .500 40 games into the regular season?
How many full seasons has Melo been a Knick? Would this year (2012-2013) be his first?
Speaking of our All-Star Center in Tyson Chandler, when's the last time we've featured an All-Star Center? Would the answer be 1997 ala 15-16 years ago?
How are we first place of the Atlantic Division and 2nd place of the entire Eastern Conference even after Shumpert's missed 37 games, Stoudemire's missed 30 games, Camby's missed 26 games, Rasheed's missed 20 games, Kurt Thomas has missed 15 games, Felton's missed 12 games, Melo's missed 7 games and Kidd's missed 4 games due to injury. How has this happened? What other team and/or NBA superstar has even came close to the (team) injuries that Melo has had to overcome as our leader this season?
But yet, now I only see the positive in our Knicks? When in actual reality I appreciate what this team has done thus far (despite injury). I'm enjoying one of the deepest teams we've ever seen as a franchise. Key words being "one of". I'm enjoying a season in which we could potentially win our Atlantic Division for the first time since 1994 (damn near 20 years). I guess this is where I should say I'm sorry for not harping over anything and everything Knicks related while actually looking at the big picture.
