The other socalled experts are just followers and tagalongs

Why not just start a league there with the NBA logo imprinted on it so they can vote for an all-Chinese players lineup for their own all-star game At least it wouldn't had ruin the game for us. article It is obvious that David Stern and the media are desperately undermining and marginalizing the '90s superstars, namely Shaquille O'Neal, Allen Iverson, Vince Carter, Steve Nash, Ray Allen, Tim Duncan, Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, Jason Kidd, Dirk Nowitzki, Baron Davis, and Tracy McGrady (and to a lesser extent Andre Miller, Larry Hughes, Michael Redd, Corey Maggette, Stephen Jackson, Gilbert Arenas, Jamaal Tinsley, Stephon Marbury, Jerry Stackhouse, Wally Szczerbiak, Ricky Davis, Steve Francis, etc). The only one left standing is Kobe Bryant, but that is only because he plays in Los Angeles. David Stern wants to make the league revolves around LeBron James vs Kobe Bryant.

He also wants to give primetime TV games to Chris Paul, Dwyane Wade, Carmelo Anthony, Chris Bosh, Dwight Howard, Brandon Roy, Derrick Rose, Rajon Rondo, Greg Oden, Kevin Durant, Blake Griffin, OJ Mayo, Joe Johnson, Rodney Stuckey, Rudy Gay, Stephen Curry, Brandon Jennings, and Deron Williams. Allen Iverson is the biggest name and the most marketable out of the previous group Unlike Shaq's circus act and eroding skills, A.I. is outspoken, keeps it real, and refuses to fade out of the spotlight, which draws the ire of Stern. If he doesn't sabotage his career, brainwash the fans into hating him through the media, he couldn't get them to warm up to his vision of the "brave new world" of his NBA.Isn't it kinda surprising that Vince Carter, Shaq, Jason Kidd, Ben Wallace, and Grant Hill are being eased out of the spotlight, pushed into complementary roles with their dignity intact while A.I., clearly still a premier player in the league, is being pushed to the bench and attacked by the media on a daily basis Isn't it kinda odd that Baron Davis, a player nowhere near Iverson's level and resume, is not considered washed up and potential bench material despite a horrible season and a slow start this season Isn't it a blatant display of double standard that two former all-stars, Elton Brand and Gilbert Arenas, missed almost 2 years yet are both unquestioned startersWas Iverson the most famous casualty of the recent obsession with expiring contracts I doubt it. Carlos Boozer, on an expiring contract, is starting for the Jazz ahead of Paul Millsap and his recently signed lucrative deal. Shaq is starting ahead of 10 million per year man, Zydrunas Ilgauskas, a guy who has been with the Cavs since '97. It just proved that the media hates him and would do anything to badmouth him.

The big-name analysts and sporswriters, they know the insiders inside out and would carry Stern's vendetta and agenda for him. The other so-called experts are just followers and tag-alongs. They want to force him to be a complementary player, a reserve even though he had the best season of his career in 2008 and was clearly maturing as a player a la Michael Jordan. His refusal to fade results in extreme measures and name-calling: "cancer", "team killer", "coach killer", "ballhog", "selfish", "washed up", "bench" They want to force him to change his game. These terms are repeatedly over and over on a daily basis until the casual fans are brainwashed into perceiving Iverson this way Even some hardcore A.I fans couldn't help but be swayed. They call him the next "Starbury" (the media treatment of Marbury was also very unfair), but the reason Starbury isn't playing is because during his cameo with the Celtics, it was clear that he had nothing left in the tank It has little to do with character issues.
