Top 10 Reasons Boom Dizzle Should Be an All Star

Looks like a little birdie's been mailing out flyers hyping up Warrior point guard Baron Davis:

Shout out to Lang Whitaker of the world famous Slam magazine for spreading the word about this flyer.

Last time BD was an All Star he was reppin' the East.
Now it's time for him to throw up a W and represent the Warriors for the West.

Drop Reason #11 why Baron Davis should be an All Star this year.

Here's mine: BD is the only Warrior player to get a Top of the Line grade on the GSoM midterm report card for the 2006-2007 season.

He pied Monta Ellis in the face with shaving cream instead of whip cream! (Dun Dun didn't have the b@lls to do it!)

He can either hit the big shot for the win (Houston) or give it up to a teammate (New Jersey)

If your going with stats he definitely should be in. Dude is in top 5 territory with guards in the league. The only reason he wouldn't would be is because we are in the West, and the team is called the Golden State Warriors.

#11...

You should have at least 2 PGs on a team, and what healthy West PG not named Steve Nash is better than Baron? Time for a checklist!
Phoenix Suns - Steve Nash - the aforementioned.
Los Angeles Lakers - Smush Parker - ummmmm, no.
Sacramento Kings - Mike Bibby - Ok, maybe as good as Baron....if he was playing like he did 5 years ago.
Los Angeles Clippers - Sam Cassell - ET? heeelllll no!
Dallas Mavericks - Jason Terry/Devin Harris - good, but not stars.
San Antonio Spurs - Tony Parker - Very solid player, but having manu Ginobli and Tim Duncan helps....not the defender, passer, or rebounder that Boom Daddy is.
Houston Rockets - Rafer Alston - isn't that their PG? I can't even remember. Maybe it's Luther Head. I forget.
New Orleans Hornets - Chris Paul - great PG. hurt most of the season.
Memphis Grizzlies - Damon Stoudamire - He's getting better.
Utah Jazz - Deron Williams - Great young kid. but still doesn't have the rebounding or defensive prowess of Baron.
Minnesota Timberwolves - Ricky Davis - Need I say more? is that even their PG? Or is it that other dude?
Denver Nuggets - Allen Iverson? Kinda maybe sorta? ok I kinda forgot about him, but he's still a shooting guard who often brings the ball up. in fact, I think Steve Blake might be their starting PG.
Portland TrailBlazers - Jarret Jack - Oh dang. be afraid, Baron. be very afraid.
Seattle SuperSonics - Luke Ridnour - He has some really nice passes, now and then.

And there you have it. Baron should be an all-star.

Why do you dog on ET?

He's just old, man.

BD

As a Warriors fan I'd obviously LOVE for BD to be in the game but...
there's no rule that two point guards, (or even one) is needed. Just 4 guards are needed. After the starters (Kobe and T-Mac), Nash and Iverson would certainly be selected ahead of BD. There are 2 reserve spots for any position (actually 3 with Yao being out) but it will be extremely tough for BD to beat out Tony Parker, Manu, and Josh Howard since these guys play for winning teams (not to mention Carmelo, Elton Brand, Ray Allen, Chris Paul...)

By the way I wish Ricky Davis was the starting pg for Minny, it'd help our playoff chances...

He should get in because

Barbaro died.

two more

#11: He is credited with making the longest shot in NBA history with an 89-foot buzzer beater against the Milwaukee Bucks on November 17, 2001

#12: Has been named the hardest player to guard by Shooting Guard Dwyane Wade. He made this statement during an interview on BET in which he was asked several questions about his NBA Career.

Got those from Wikipedia.

I rag on ET

Because he looks like ET. and he has no eyebrows. scary.

by bradyk2 on Jan 29, 2007 10:17 PM PST reply actions

If he and Charlie V teamed up

that would be Webpin material ala your Mike and Ike mugshot. "ET and Charlie V!" it could say.

We went over this a little while ago:

Said my piece there. Won't debate it again with Zig or anyone else unless he writes out some valid points/reasons, which I encourage him to do if he doesn't like Baron/doesn't believe he should be an All Star.

No

One reason Baron SHOULD NOT go to All-star game this season: His health.

Baron needs all the rest he could get. Do you want an overworked Baron for the second-half of this season, or one who gets a little 'juiced up' because a) he missed the all-star and has a chip on his shoulder and; b) he actually rested during all-star weekend?

All-star game is meaning-less, anyway.
