Isnt Paul Pierce Deserving in the All-Star Game?

Postby ShAuN on Fri Jan 06, 2006 9:18 am

Pierce is having the best year of his career. Hes averageing 26.3ppg, 7.8RPG, and 4.5apg AND hes shooting 50%! I dont think people realize how good he really is. I know the All-Star game is based on Popularity, but if it was based on how well a player performs, dont you guys think he would be a starter on the East?

It is based on how they perform, the coaches vote the bench. He could get a spot but he wouldn't get many minutes.

First, your topic doesn't make sense.
Second, I do think he should play in the all star game as you said with his stats..
But I don't think he'll start cause of the popularity..But he should start IMO. He's playing well..

He's good but the East is stacked with good guards. I'm not sure how many guards can make the team but Wade, Arenas, Billups, and Iverson are all better than him. Or is he listed at forward?

Redd would make it over him if he is listed as a guard.

Nope, he's not making his team win games. If he is an all-star, his team must win.

He's listed at F, i think Ricky is the SG for boston.

Pierce is undoubtedly a top player but he needs to get more wins for his team to beat out guys like Rasheed & Jermaine for an ASG spot. 13-18 hurts.

Pierce is a deserving All-star, well guess what? he made it in like da last i dunno how many years.. soo until he is proved to not make it this year, he is an all-star

He'll prob make it, guard or forward..
Only Lebron and Iverson are more deserving than him
I say him and wade are equally deserving..

Yeah, but after the starters it's the coaches who vote the guys in, not the fans.

Record really has nothing to do with it. Pierce is still a great player, even if his team is bad. All-Star game selections are not team selections. That is called the playoffs. Two completely different things.

And even if they were to base it on record, the Celtics are amazingly in the 8th seed.

The Celtics are play like 500% ball. Just a few games under......Pierce shoots 50% 26ppg, 8rpg, and 4.5apg. Hes 6-6 one of the most durable players in the league. Hes very, VERY consistent. He has a bad game out of like every 20-30 games! LoL Hes awsome.

He would tear up M Redd. He should either be beind LeBron for SF or be the Starter.

i think we all understand that you like the bucks, and think theyre great. but seriously, get the fuck over it, no one gives a shit that you overrate every single bucks player out there. if it was up to you, every bucks player would start on the east and west teams becuse theyre 'so much better.'
think realistically, and stop saying stupid shit about the bucks players its an insult to every single nba fan out there.

He was there.

He absolutely deserves it and I'm sure he'll be picked by the coaches. Does he deserve to start? Maybe, but as we all know the fan voting is based on who the fans want to see rather than who's actually performing well or the best at their position in their Conference (though usually most of the starters fulfill both requirements). Did Kobe "deserve" to start in the 1998 game? Probably not then in his sophomore season but the fans wanted to see him, he played well and he was entertaining.

the 1998 all star game was a great game indeed -- infact kobe had a great showing scoring 18 points I believe. defensively, he was on point too -- just look at this clip of him playing defense
