Kemba getting no respect

Rudy gay's numbers since leaving Toronto are far from "above average scorer that doesn't do much else". Is he a concensus all star in the west? Debateable, but he's no slouch. Don't let the memes get to you.

Totally agree. He's averaging 18.5 ppg, 6.3 rpg and 3 apg. I doubt there's too many players in the NBA doing at least all that. That's way above average stuff. But not All Star stuff.

Gay is 41st in scoring, 58th in rebounding and 86 in assists. Like I said he's an above average scorer but that's about it. Never has been a good rebounder or passer..

...the Implication?

You can't convince me that Dwyane Wade isn't a star, currently, in the NBA. He's not the best player currently, but he's certainly still a star.

Yes, but that's only because he's old. He was one of the best players, and that's how he became a star. You don't lose star status easily, especially if you were one of the best for an extended period. Should have added that corollary/clarification, but didn't think of it at the time.

It'd be nice to showcase the current best players of course.

Read what we were saying in our posts. Rudy has been injured almost the entirety of this season.

I stand by what I said about Gay and those numbers are what he is ranked in the NBA this season. He has played in 26 games this year. You said it is debatable if he is a consensus all star in the West. In my opinion, he has never been an All-Star caliber player in his career and your right, he is no slouch. We will agree to disagree.

He was definitely an all-star caliber player two years ago (21.0-5.9-3.7 on 46 percent shooting). Sacramento wasn't good enough to get him in. Or in Memphis, he was close (20-6-3 on 47 percent shooting on a winning team).

Sometimes, it comes down to who plays your position in your conference in a given year and who is healthy at the break (Drummond made it in a year with few good big men in the east). Emeka was pretty close to making it in Charlotte for the same reason.

Good point.....

Sometimes your success is, in part, a product of whom you play with and the style of play.
