Replace???? Why are you so quick to dethrone the man? What if KP regress in his sofmore season?
Always possible, but we can only hope that KP continues to progress. Plus, my assumption is based on KP's rising popularity. 4th in jersey sales will be reflected in future all-star fan votes. He's our most popular player now, which leads me back to my original point that i am glad fans stil recognize Melo as our best player, despite no longer being our most popular. But soon, that will not be the case, and KP's popularity will override Melo in all-star voting. No one is dethroning Melo, i am a big fan, and one of his biggest supporters on this board.
KP'S jersey will be the starting point guard in next year's jersey All Star game. Lin's Knick Jersey will be a perennial reserve.
Kidding asside besides everyone already having Melo jerseys. Do you think his popularity has anything to do with KP being white? We were discussing on the court and seemed like some thought so.
