I don't see why this is cool. It's one spot and it should go to a center. Why shouldn't actual centers be rewarded? Are we gonna going to ignore reality and complain that there are no more centers in basketball?

Why, because the Spurs and Duncan do what they've been doing for years, going after average centers to keep Duncan at PF instead of going after quality PF's and allowing Duncan to play most of the game at his natural position, where he spends much of the time anyway, as those centers are never very good?

Bynum must be pissed...watch Pierce have a monster year and be voted in by fans lol. It would be great to see Lebron, Carmelo, Pierce as the starting frontcourt.
