Forgot to list Bogut in your snubs. He is the second best centre in the east but you're right Bosh will take the Centre reserve spot even though he is a 4 man.

Its not about the best its about entertainment - a big lumbering Bogut isnt much entertainment.

Don't think I am haiting Bogut - its just a fact big bulky centre's aren't that entertaining

Bogut should be nowhere near the snub list lmao.

You realise it isnt a 3 guard, 3 forward, 1 centre system? its 2 guards, 2 forwards, 1 centre, and 2 others, not pending on position. So there could be five guards.

Another quality Humpa comment, please elaborate and add something with substance to this discussion if you are goin to say Bogut shouldnt be an All-star. At least every other critic can give a reason why they dislike him or believe he will not make it.

Agreed with Kobe, Bogut is much more entertaining than Yao or Duncan. Bogut is not a lumbering center he runs the floor as well as any great 5/4 man out there. How often do we see him charging through the middle of the floor on a fast break for the alley? He is a quality big and his improved play should be rewarded with the acknowledgments it deserves.

if that's the case... then we should get rid of CP3, Chauncey Billups, and Dirk Nowtzki because they're not entertaining at all, and guys like Rafer Alston, Manu Ginobili, and Bruce Bowen should be in because they're moar entertaining.

Bluey you obviously never saw Mark Eaton play. The original lumberjack center.

CP3 not entertaining? Are we referring to the same Chris Paul?

Bruce Bowen entertaining? Since when is dirty entertaining? A defensive specialist with very little offence thats past his prime isnt exactly what i'd call entertaining... I'm a Williams fan but Chris Paul is about as exciting as they come! cmon West

Humpa I agree with you on Bogut but those are some freakin terrible examples!

Did you just say Floppy Ginobili and Bruce Bowen are entertaining?!?!?!?!?

...and CP3 ISN'T?!?!?!?!?

That's almost as dumb as the GC Journo who said SoJ was the Blaze's best defender!

CP3 is entertaining?

u mean someone who rolls the ball up the court then picks it and dribble is fun to watch?

Manu Ginobil and Bruce Bowen are great to watch. Ginobili plays agressive and flops... Bruce bowen annoys the **** out of everyone by playing dirty and then gives them a drop kick.

Humpa any point guard worth his overly inflated pay check will let the ball roll, as im sure you know from your countless inteligent posts on hoops (INSERT SOME BIG MO TRUCKING SARCASM IN HERE PLEASE!) that the clock doesnt tick untill the guard touches the inbound. This is just smart play, more time on the shotclock=longer to run your offense. Im guessing your a Spurs fan from your Manu/Bowen worship, but i also guess you dont watch Tony P let the ball roll and pick it up. TP is also one of the most explosive and entertaing guards trapped in the west.

Bowen is not entertaining. Flat out simple as that. Wanna watch someone bait and cheat to beat someone watch some of that half assed coriographed wrestling bullshit. Manu yes i agree can be entertaining. But brother please, CP3s game in terms of both entertainment value and actual basketball worth shits all over Bruce Bowen!
