Baron Davis Shafted.........Dirty Politics and Michael Moore?

by LeSJepSen on Feb 21, 2008 9:22 PM PST

The obvious question of, "Why was Baron Davis not selected for the All Star game?" is not nearly as important as the more important question of "who is Brandon Roy? The Answer: A talented young player with loads of potential. But with only a mere 1 year of experience under his belt, that's all he is at this point. The politics of the NBA have gotten clearly out of hand. What ever happened to the old-school tradition of paying your dues? Roy's being "appointed" a roster spot for the West was as sickening as being told that somehow George W. Bush was "appointed" to be my President under the guise of a fair election. Sheer mockery at it's very worst! This year I boycotted the All Star Game for the first time in my life. But with my anger and obvious bias aside; I present the Facts. Roy: 19.7 PPG, 5.8 Asst, 0.96 stls, Blazers 28W - 25L. Baron: 21.8 PPG, 8 assists, 2.46 Stls, Dubs 33W-21L. On top of this, the buzzer beaters against not one, but two of the cornerstone franchises of the NBA in a single season? Yesterday's clutch performance was just as sweet as "The Silence of The Lakers" (Baron's next film title). It served as just one more piece of incriminating evidence of this all too tragic conspiracy. Maybe if we're lucky, Baron may have bumped into Michael Moore at the Sundance film festival and made plans for a full length expose'! I wonder what the title of that flick would be?
Ideas anyone?

Too bad

last night's buzzer beater and the records you provdided have nothing to do with Baron's being snubbed. At the time voting for the reserves ended, I believe the Blazers had a better record than the Dubs, and were possibly leading their division. Not too sure though.

Roy

Led the west team in minutes and points for the ASG. I think that proves that the mere second year player belongs with the big boys.

SILLY ME.....

I forgot about the Stifling Defense that is the trademark of the All Star Game!!!!

You're Fired Robert Zemeckis! You are a horrible Movie Director and an even worse sports analyst! But maybe Michael Moore will let you run craft services on the set of the Baron Davis Story.

Network or Not Work bro

Seriously though. . . I think we do children a great disservice when we teach them that hard work and producing results will bring you success.

The end result is this diary.

The world is actually much simpler than that. The more that people like you the more likely it is that they are going to do things for you. It helps to have friends in high places. You know the old saying "it's not what you know, who you know"?

Baron didn't get selected because some coaches don't like him. It's pretty consistent with how most other things work. It's Baron's fault for being such a princess. He's a smart dude. He should know better.

Oh yah, and this is like the 4th diary on this subject. It would be helpful if people searched the diary section by subject before creating one but that is even more unrealistic than your dream of your version of "fairness".
