If he was in the West he may be starting on popularity, which is all the All Star game is, but if it were picked by the coaches I think you’d find him on the bench.

Few things on the house for you here. The most important is that the coach of Team USA is Coach K, Mike Krzyzewski. The dude plays a very organised offense, both in college and for the national team, and as such prefers to have point guards that play as such. That’s why you’ve seen Paul, Williams, Rondo and Kidd playing there during his greatest successes. You’re right he’ll be ahead of Nash though, considering Nash plays for Canada not for the USA, so there’s a lot of your credibility gone for that comment.

Not so sure Paul has never beaten Rose, but maybe, just maybe, that’s because the Hornets were as bad as any team in the league other than Chris Paul. So again that’s an irrelevant argument.

Bogans hit nearly 100 threes last season, at close to 40%, so I’d say he was able to get open. He isn’t a good player, but don’t tell me he isn’t a good shooter.

The biggest issue here is that you have capitulated one the one tiny bit of criticism I had of Rose in an article that was written about how he was carrying his team and how he desperately needs and deserves help. None of this needed to be said. I appreciate you taking the time to comment, but the anger is not necessary, nor is the hate mongering. It was not intended to insult Derrick Rose, who is a stunning talent. Have a look at the title of the argument. I don’t know what else you want me to say.
