As fans that live mostly in Houston, I wanted to know who you are voting for. Just reply with a similar format as below. Please leave a brief explanation as to why you are voting for that player. W-G: T-Mac (no explanation required) W-G: CP3 (I love the way he plays, well balanced for a PG) W-F: Battier (Because he's a rocket) W-F: KG (Probably the most efficient and persistant player ever, love his fiery style) W-C: Yao (no explanation required, really hope he will be able to play) E-G: G. Arenas (Most entertaining player) E-G: D. Wade (Love the way he plays) E-F: Chris Bosh (Canada needs some love and I really don't know who else to vote for) E-F: Paul Pierce (Favorite player after Yao) E-C: Eddy Curry (I hate Shaq and D Ho) Write in: Luther Head (I love Head!) If there already was a thread like this, please feel free to lock. Thanks
Good thread. I really like your picks for the most part Qazi. I love the Rockets love! My only complaint with your selections is Eddy Curry as East center. He did bad mouth Yao a bit earlier in the seaon when he said something to the effect that he wanted another shot at Yao because no one was able to stop him after a recent good stretch of games. Also why the hate for Dwight Howard? Any specific reason? My picks: W-G: T-Mac (a Rocket) W-G: Cassell (an ex-Rocket) W-F: Battier (a Rocket) W-F: Rashard Lewis (supporting the Houston guys) W-C: Yao (a Rocket) E-G: Francis (ex-Rocket) E-G: Ford (Houston guy) E-F: Okafor (Houston guy is playing well) E-F: Turkoglu (see below) E-C: Dwight Howard (I am really hoping Shaq does not get voted in and Howard is currently the only real competition I want Yao and McGrady to be top vote getters so I make sure I don't vote for anyone that gets alot of votes like Kobe, LeBron, Wade, Vince Carter, etc. Besides Yao, T-Mac, and Battier I vote for players that I like that don't have a chance of being top vote getters and if there is no one I like then I vote for a scrub like Turkoglu.
West G - TMac - Rocket G - Mobes - Former Rocket F - Battier - Rocket F - Duncan - Awesome C - Yao - Rocket East G - Arenas - Saw him when he was at GSW G - Kidd - Still a very good PG F - Vileneueva - I like to be different F - Okafor - reminds me of Duncan C - Howard - screw Shaq
The comment by Eddy Curry is more of a compliment imo. He thinks he is an elite center now and wants to take on Yao. It's sort of like a young contender who wants to take on the champ. Notice he didn't say Shaq or D Ho. He wanted to challenge the best center in the league which is Yao Ming. Yes, he's stupid enough to challenge him but I see it as a compliment. D Ho? No hate for him directly but it's insulting how some say D Ho is the next great thing after Shaq. Yao is the uncontested torch bearer after Shaq and D Ho doesn't even come close atm.
The Luther Head write-in doesn't count unless you left someone off the ballot I believe. The write-in is to vote for a player at a position when they are not listed on the ballot, correct me if I'm wrong. I vote for scrubs and such other than T-Mac, Yao, and Battier so they can be the highest vote getters and so I don't add to the Kobe/LeBron/Wade vote count.
