One theory on the Flyers guard making All-Star: he played in a game at home, on TV, and played well. Enough to tip the vote for him with that one appearance?

I think he must have garnered a lot of votes that the commissioner let transfer over to our league..

With those skills, he should be in the dunk contest. Only thing that will hurt him is RB. But having sensational driving and prolifiic handling and passing will benefit him big time.

As it is, I think Ketikidis is going to take it in a walk.

Mina is clearly the better player, Barr is the best shooter. I don't understand why Barr's salary is so high.
What makes me mad is that I could have made Barr so much better but i didn't think about it back then. Barr's defense would be sensational if i changed my trainer sooner, and I could have made him a much better handler, driver, and passer.

I was not saying he was the best I was simply saying he was very difficult to guard. On the other hand I don't relish playing Barr or Mina all three are equally a pain but I especially hate playing Salisbury he always has his A game against me.

Carmona:


Jump Shot: marvelous Jump Range: prominent
Outside Def.: prolific Handling: prominent
Driving: tremendous Passing: strong
Inside Shot: mediocre Inside Def.: pitiful
Rebounding: respectable Shot Blocking: awful
Stamina: respectable Free Throw: strong

Overall he is below those guys. Probably why his salary is lower. Only catagories he is higher in is jump shot and rebounding.

I wasn't expecting such great defensive stats from Mina. Barr is a sharp long range shooter and Carmona, as expected, has a great mid range jumper.

Wow. Clinton Cantrell gets his first start on All-Star team in a close vote and Vernon Partridge gets the lowest vote total out of all players, lol.

I'm dumbfounded as to how to handle Vernon Partridge on this team. He's got an amazing ability to rebound and play inside defense but I cannot seem to find an offense that fits around his set of skills. I'm half tempted to let him test the waters this off-season and look for a young player to invest into as Damon Mohr is more than capable of moving into the starting role even though he's 30-years old.

Anyways, those players are certainly amazing but can you all brag about your player being better than mine when he won the starting job for PG on the Big East!? Can you!? Huh!? Huh!? What!? That's what I thought. Move along now.

:P

I told you, I'm boycotting the dunk contest. My players don't deserve to be there. I'm not even happy that Mina is participating in the 3pt contest... wish there was a way I could decline it. ;-)

Anyway, Mina is a stud, there's no doubt about it. Carmona and Barr are great players too. I guess I just need to get some inside scoring capacity so that you guys can't just load up on 1-3-1 and 3-2 zones all day long. I thought Arnett would fill that role but he just can't do it himself and Soc and Roach just aren't enough of a threat to score to go LI or LP.

I suspect I'll have 3 of my big men on sale before the end of the season. Problem is, they aren't worth enough to go out and get the inside presence that Mina needs.
