The Hoop and The Harm

Yesterday on Full Court Press, they were discussing their top 12 players in each conference THIS YEAR. Not to be outdone and because their lists sucked, I have decided to throw my two cents in. This is not an actual all-star team list, as I’m not basing it on picking a team or by position or any of that bogus nonsense. That would make too much sense. This is just a straightforward list of my top 12 players in each conference so far THIS YEAR. Let’s start with the east.

In no particular order:

Bron Bron
D-Wade
Jermaine O’neal
KG
Paul Pierce
Chauncey Billups
Michael Redd
G-Force
Dwight Howard
Caron Butler
Jason Kidd
Joe Johnson

And now the West. Again, in no particular order:

Nash
Kobe
Chris Paul
Dirk
Tim Duncan
A.I.
Melo
Yao Ming
Amare
Baron Davis
Deron Williams
Chris Kaman

I know there’s a few left off that have deserved it in years past(I’m lookin at you T-Mac), but they just haven’t really done it for me this year. Injuries also played a part in this(Did Arenas retire?) So, there you have it. I’ll compare this to the actual all-star roster when it’s announced. Should be interesting to see what top players are left off because of their position.

“I dunk, therefore I am.” More truer words have never been spoken.

Gerald Wallace, aka G-Force, deserves to be in the slam dunk contest. Look at that picture and tell me you wouldn’t love to see him throwin’ oops at all-star weekend. And really, who couldn’t use a little more G-Force spice in their lives? I know he’s been in before, but THIS YEAR he’s gone berserk, leveled up if you will. We owe him a second chance!

All i’m asking is for you to keep G-Force’s ferocious dunks in your heart, that means you selection committee, and keep my dream alive of another tour de G-Force.

P.S. Don’t forget to send your “Ask Hoop and Harm” questions here.

It has been reported that Sean May will need season ending microfracture Surgery. Frankly, this sucks. I had high hopes for the Bobcats this year. I felt they could be a playoff team, maybe sneak in at the 8 spot. It looked as though the young guns out in Charlotte would all finally be healthy enough to show us a little something.  Now, not so much.
