Now we've all by now seen Chris Bosh's video to get himself voted in the all star game. Personally, I think it is fucking hilarious and I've voted for him. I was going to vote for him either, way I am a CB4 fan and showing his personality is always a plus. God knows the NBA needs some goofy, harmless guys at this point. By the way I can picture Jamaal Tinsely trying to get our votes, but he would probably go one by one and threaten to shoot us if we didn't vote for him.
I'd also like to note that Skip Bayless is a little pansy for criticizing Bosh because he made the video. I just think that Skip probably took it from his dad once and that made him lose his ability to understand "humor". Note to skip Bayless: Go fuck yourself.
Now having said that I think the video is awesome and funny. Let us try and figure out if Chris Bosh is an all star starter, talent wise.
To first do that we need to figure out who the starting Power Fowards are for the 15 teams in the Eastern Conference.
Kevin Garnett (BOS)
Sean Williams (NJ)
David Lee (NY)
Reggie Evans (PHI)
Joe Smith (CHI)
Drew Gooden (CLE)
Rasheed Wallace (DET)
Jermain O'Neal (IND)
Yi Jianlian (MIL)
Marvin Williams (ATL)
Emeka Okafor (CHA)
Udonis Haslem (MIA)
Rashard Lewis (ORL)
Antwan Jamison (WAS)
and our very own CB4
Since we all know that Lebron James is a mortal lock to start in the all star game, otherwise David Stren would crap his pants, lets just assume that CB4 has to beat these other 14 guys to get in. And again we're looking for talent wise and not "I get votes because I'm from China" wise, sorry Ji, I know it's not your fault but your country men have seriously over estimated you.
So with that being said we can easily eliminate Sean Williams, Joe Smith, Reggie Evans, the aforementionned Yi and the three hustle guys Drew Gooden, David Lee (the anti-knick, meaning Isiah will trade him for a balla who runs with the Crips or something) and Udonis Haslem (whom these days is the best big man in Miami, how the mighty have fallen).
That leaves us with Kevin Garnett, Rasheed Wallace, Jermaine O' Neal, Marvin Williams (who has not been getting enough credit for the rise of the Hawks), Emeka Okafor, Rashard Lewis and Antwan Jamison.
Now, as good as Marvin Williams has been in comparison to other years, I think we can all agree he doesn't match up with Bosh or his numbers. O' Neal has struggled and his team seems to come together more when he's hurt so he's out of the race. Rashard Lewis is not playing as big a role as CB4 for the Magic, his numbers are also weaker. He's out. Rasheed's number this year have not been up to par with his recent campaigns, and he wasn't good enough to be an all-star then either. Emeka is posting a double-double for the Bobbiecats, but they are under .500 and Oka is averaging under his career usual for PPG, we have to cut him.
That leaves us with CB4, not suprisingly KG and maybe more suprisingly Antwan Jamison. While Bosh is averaging more points than KG, he is averaging about a rebound less/game. Also KG's talent cannot be measured with stats as he has been the leader for the resurging (and also very gay) Boston Celtics. It is obvious to me that KG should start in the all-star game.
But now that we've established if CB should start, one should also wonder if he should be the back up power foward. As much as I love Boshy and think he's an awesome player, I don't think people have been giving enough credit to Twan. They are without their superstar in Gilbert Arenas and yet, the Wizards stand at 17-15, compare that too the Raptors' 17-17 record and you can see that the Wizards have been playing slightly better ball. Also Twan is averaging about the same number of points/game as Bosh while grabbing an extra rebound/game. I think that given the fact that the Wizards should be out of the playoffs already without Agent Zero, I have to give that second PF spot to Jamison.
Bosh is amazing but has only been the Eastern Conference's 3rd best PF this year if you ask me.
