    It's ok to vote AS as ROY, but put him in 3rd team is a little too much.


    Third team
    Guard Michael Jordan, Wizards.
    Guard Jason Kidd, Nets.
    Forward Amare Stoudemire, Suns.
    Forward Ben Wallace, Pistons.
    Center Yao Ming, Rockets.

    He probably did that because he found himself stuck with the hypocrasy of picking Yao 3rd Team w/o the ROY on the team, too.

    someone should explain to him that Amare did not dominant more than Jermaine O'Neal, and O'Neal made 3rd Team last year. Shouldn't a rookie have to clearly out-play a previous 3rd Team winner to unseat him.

    Third Team is kinda silly. Stoudamire is better than Jamison, J. O'Neal, Malone, Walker, Abdur-Rahim, Gasol, Howard, Wallace, Martin, Van Horn, Rose, Mashburn, Stackhouse, Marion, G. Robinson, R. Davis, R. Hamilton, Stojakovic, Rashard Lewis, Sprewell, and R. Jefferson?

    Yao Ming only needs to be better than Ilgauskas, Brad Miller, L. Wright, Nesterovic, Curry, and the like.

    I ain't that surprised.

    Even Kenny Smith picked Amare for ROY.

    Yao always thought that Walton was strange (from interviews).

    Might have rubbed Walton the wrong way, and now he's turned on Yao.

    yeah, but for a guy who was a high schooler last year, you must admit he can ball in the paint. Similar to malone when he was a rookie. Malone didnt always have the jumper he has now ya know. I have no problem with giving the Man/Child his props. Look at those guns, if Yao can get cut-up like that, then we will be in good shape..

    Why should we care about what someone who believes A/S is the 5th best forward in the league is thinking?

    tell Shawn Marion about this and see what he has to say about his rookie teamate.

    Shawn Marion, Jermaine O'Neal, Pau Gasol, Karl Malone, Elton Brand, Predrag Stojakovic, Jalen Rose, Shareef Abdur-Rahim, Antawn Jamison, Jamal Mashburn, Antoine Walker, .....

    mmm...maybe All NBA 10th team :D
