i dont like him, sometimes he gets too much respect from officials, when its a blocking foul it gets called a charge.

I'm sorry but Jason Richardson and Andre Igoudala are not superstars. Are they good players? Yes. They have a ton of talent and they will be all-stars very soon. However, to be a superstar you have to be something out of the norm. You have to be unique and obviously above all else. There are very few superstars in the league, only about 4 or 5 maybe. Sometimes the word "superstar" is thrown around way too liberally and it really takes the SUPER out of it.

As for my favorite role players, guys like Trenton Hassell and Sam Cassell come to mind.

I can't see J-Rich being an All-Star unless he was traded East to a winning situation. If he stays in Golden State, he'll be overrun and outscored by Monta Ellis next season.


To the question at hand, i'll say Kirk Hinrich, Tyrus Thomas, Luol Deng, David Lee and Ryan Gomes.

I loooove Nene, but it wont be long before he's a superstar, he should be a top candidate for MIP.
Others:
Linas Kleiza
JR Smith
Steve Blake
Najera
I don't go for Nuggets :shifty:

1.Gordan
2.Martin
3.Williams
4.Iguodala
5.Randolph
6.Nene

Um, the many sites that provide NBA statistics?
and i didn't say he should win, i said he should be a top candidate

And I didn't say anything in regards to that, I was just mentioning some other MIP candidates since they had been mentioned and whether or not they were "superstars" was discussed.

My most entertaining non-superstar to watch are:

Darko Milicic (he should be a star becasue he is in part of the famous draft. If he just play good ball when he is in Detriot)
Jameer Nelson
Jason Kapono
Earl Boykins
Steve Francis(that this count? i think he is not a star anymore)

:mrgreen:

ehh, rarely - usually it's the right call, I'd say more often than that though it's the other way around (he gets called for a block when it's really a charge)

I actually scrolled up to see why you were talking about being horny. :lol:
