Andrew Bynum pissed about All-Star results, says Stoudemire is not even a center

[monkeypox]

The kid really needs to grow up and stop worry about this kind of stuff.

[G-train]

It ought to be Point Guards, Wings, Bigs. Get rid of this center stuff.

I see what you are saying, but I don't think it should happen.

The NBA should give players a position at the start of the season. Get a team of ppl to do it. They will be known as this position fo the entire season - so for all references on broadcasting and Allstar voting there will be a position for that player.
Rookies can be judged on their college or overseas career.

[chazzy]

The modern game has developed to where there not as much distinction between the two positions.

You could argue just the opposite, with all the shooting PFs there are in the league. Aldridge, Rashard Lewis, Dirk, Beasley, Villanueva, Gallinari, Jeff Green, Lamar Odom... none of these players are interchangeable with centers. There just aren't as many marquee Centers so it seems they're all the same, but they're not.

[kobesabi]

Maybe NBA was pissing back at Bynum for having too much fun with the Playboy bunnies. Anther NBA fix scandal!

I actually like to delay Bynum into the All-Star as long as possible to make him work harder every year. Yes, Bynum should STFUAPB.

Bynum doesn't get it. Bynum, shut your mouth and play basketball. Let your basketball do the talking. If you're good, people will start noticing and they will vote for you. Sheesh.

A number of those players could play the 3 as well and have in prior seasons. Nowaways the word 'natural' is used much more frequently than it used to be in talking about a player's position. More tweeners between positions, including the 2/3. It's part of a transitional phase. Just as in the 1960's there was no real difference between either guard position.

[Samurai Swoosh]

I think the ASG selection process is retarded. Everything from the fan voting in starters, to the fact that they don't ask the five best players from a conference, they define it by position and even then there is contradictions ... is Tim Duncan a C or PF, is Amare Stoudemire a C or PF, etc. There is loop holes.

[Celts34]

This all Bynum should have said

[highwhey]

Thats pretty much all it sums up to in the end.

stop whining then. your name implies sarcasm, use some of it.

[sergiorodriguez]

Bynum should talk comfort in the fact that the Allstar game is the highpoint in Amare's season. Bynum's got more important things to achieve

[bdreason]

What sucks is that some teams actually put contract bonuses that are dependant upon making All-Star games.

[oh the horror]

stop whining then. your name implies sarcasm, use some of it.

How was I whining anywhere in this thread? You on your period or something?

[highwhey]

sorry dude, my mistake, i'm out of it today...

[Laker4Lyfe]

Why is he concerned about the AllStar game. He has an opportunity to become a starting center on a dynasty team and actually prove himself this postseason. Shows some immaturity, that he's caught up in All Star affairs. Let Amare play Bynum, he won't be playing in June.

I hope Phil/Kobe/Fisher tell him to shut up and remember that he has bigger fish to fry.

[oh the horror]

No worries.
