Just out of interest, if this was any other player except Michael Jordan (who you don't seem to like), would you feel this way?

Good to see him missing dunks again. Go MJ.
What one? Typical hater comment.
Third, there's the thing about haters. Every comment about Carter is passed without any comment, then Jordan misses a dunk, it's posted, and boosh! a hater shows himself... hypocrites.

If anyone misses a dunk is going to be critized, that's not being hypocrite. Dominique did, he got critized, MJ did it 2 or 3 times, you can't complain for it, he's going to be critized. If Carter would have missed, he would get critized as well.
I understand by hypocrite: Those who say something on your face and as soon you turn your back they start saying the opposite. Hypocrite are those who want you to think something about what they think when they really don't think that way.
We are just expressing what we really think, and critized the fact that just cause T-mac & Iverson offered their spots they turned every attention to Carter trying to say he didn't deserve his, something I don't agree because fans voted for him so he did.

oops!! jordan missed an easy dunk, again!
sad to see that!
Tue Feb 11, 2003 7:22 am
Read it again scub.. hypocrites are the ones who instantly call people who makes comments about Jordan a hater, but not people who make comments about Carter.
Did you guys see the damn Trophy?????, It is huge. I bet Stern thought Jordan was going to get it and made it that way. Too bad MJ didn't get it, I bet was going to be the biggest trophy MJ was going to have at home.

It was his night. MJ appreciation night. No one has the right to insult him because of his game.

Nobody seems to have a problem with Yao starting, even if he doesn't deserve it.
Shaq missed half the season up until now, yet he deserves it according to everyone. Carter returns from his injury, leads his team to wins, yet he doesn't deserve it... hypocrites.
Last All Star game or not, he didn't deserve to be there based on his play this year.
Well, what about Malone, Stockton, and Robinson. Where were their honorary spots on the All-Star team? It's their last seasons, and the first two are playing better than Jordan..
Way to ignore the rest of my post...I might just start calling you 'EG'...

Carter has played all of what...15 games all season. Shaq has played 35. He has played more then double the games Carter has and has been getting more wins for the Lakers then Carter has got for the Raps. Shaq deserved the starting spot because of his play THIS season. Carter didn't.
Clinton wrote:He wasn't picked for the team for his play. Players didn't offer their spots because of his play this season. They did it because it is Michael Jordan and it is his last All Star game. Isiah stepped aside in '92 (I think), so Magic could start in his last All Star game, he didn't deserve it, but it was Magic. Did you have a problem with that, did anyone who has a problem with MJ starting in his last allstar game have a problem with it when Magic did it. Haters.
Clinton wrote:That's why I can't win this argument, when your hate for a player is so big that you can make comments like that..."first two players are playing better then MJ (Malone and Stock) What a joke. It's too hard to get through to you when you hate a player that much.

Thomas said later that none of the guys would go out on the floor unless Jordan started the game.

It's always easy to say "I've supported that all along" when you haven't said anything on the subject before.
Lakers 21-14 with Shaq. That's 60% for the Lakers with Shaq, 57% for the Raptors with Carter.. big difference huh.
Funny how Carter needs to be selecteed based on his play this season, while Jordan doesn't.
Your love for Jordan is so big you can't rationally see that other players might be more deserving for the All-Star/play better than Jordan.
Malone: 20.2ppg (45% shooting), 8.3rpg, 4.2apg, 1.54spg, 36.4mpg
Stockton: 11.1ppg (46% shooting), 7.7apg, 1.1spg, 28.1mpg
Robinson: 9.4ppg(47% shooting), 8.7rpg, 1apg, 1.91bpg, 27.8mpg

Not as good as numbers as MJ. Not as many minutes but I don't think Stockton could ever average 18ppg.
Again has the height to rebound. Also stays around the basket so has a higher %.

Isiah stepped aside in '92 (I think), so Magic could start in his last All Star game, he didn't deserve it, but it was Magic. Did you have a problem with that, did anyone who has a problem with MJ starting in his last allstar game have a problem with it when Magic did it. Haters.
Thu Feb 13, 2003 6:55 pm
I think they have...and if you don't, well, you're a hater...
why are you hating on Vince Carter and Ming?
were just as deserving for the All-Star game - if not more.
Clinton, I was thinking to stop posting here because I see you only like to call everyone who thinks Carter was chosen "a hater"
but I see you don't know much about what you're talking about, that's why I decided to make a comment and that's why I would like to ask you, how long have you been watching games?
The one who offered his spot was Tim Hardaway.
but that "I think" means you don't know.
If T-mac offered his spot, why didn't he take it instead of showing his ego waiting for others to offer it?
After all that's MJ, your idol.

I know what they have done in their careers, but they haven't done half as much as MJ.

Yeah, I'm a real idiot. Don't know anything about the NBA. Sorry if I don't know every little fact, every little stat etc.
To answer your question, I have been watching basketball for about 7 or 8 years
But I think I know what I am talking about when it comes to basketball.
Maybe he forgot about his ego and turned down the players who deserved their spots.
If I made a mistake, I'm sorry. I'm sure I haven't made that many to make you think I dont know anything.
I might just start calling you 'EG'
Fri Feb 14, 2003 4:32 pm
Malone only scored more than MJ in his career
That explains also why you feel like calling anyone who has a different opinion of a particular player "a hater".
Ok, that shows me you just have seen the winning years of MJ and the Bulls.
You still think Carter didn't deserve his?
Fri Feb 14, 2003 11:53 pm
And what does this have to do with this conversation.
When you are so blinded by your hate for a player that you can't admit what he has done for the game.
He didn't. Give me one good reason apart from "the fans voted him in" why he deserved that spot.
I have said it to a couple of people who said MJ didn't deserve the start.
No. I only said they were haters when they said MJ didn't deserve to play in his last All Star game.

Nobody said MJ didn't deserve to be in the all-star, of course he had the rights to play in that game, once the managers take the rest of the team, but not taking the starting spot from anyone selected by the fans. If you voted for him, you are just one against Millions & Millions of fans who didn't. If those wanted to see him shitting like he did, getting blocked shots, missing dunks, missing his first 7 or 8 shots, they would have voted for him Clinton, is it too hard for you to understand that?

Sat Feb 15, 2003 12:31 pm
Well, it does have to do much cause you are complaining for those who think MJ was not supposed to start, and all you know about MJ is those winning years when he learned to pass the ball in order to win and now it would show that he deserved it.
Again, he grew up under Magic & Bird shadows,
I don't think there's too much to argue when you didn't see those raising up the league to the level it is now.
Nobody said MJ didn't deserve to be in the all-star
is it too hard for you to understand that?
Your point being?
Sat Feb 15, 2003 12:49 pm
MJ wasn't under anyones shadows.
to understand that we were farewelling a legend of the game.
I can't reply to that, it doesn't even make sense.
