All America SNUBS

AP ALL AMERICA MEN’s BASKETBALL TEAM

- 1st Team: Blake Griffin (OU), Tyler (UNC), DeJuan Blair (PITT), James Harden?(ARI St), Stephen Curry (DAV)

- 2nd Team: Hasheem Thabeet (UCONN), Ty Lawson (UNC), Luke Harangody (ND), Jodie Meeks (KEN), Jerel McNeil (MARQ)

- 3rd Team: Terrence Williams (LOU), Sherron Collins (KU), Toney Douglas (FSU), Sam Young (PITT), Gerald Henderson (dOOK)

My grievances: How does Ty Lawson naht make first team? He’s more important to this year’s team than Tyler H. is. At 21 and 8, Tyler CLEARLY made first teambecause of his mystique and name.

And how is it that Stephen Curry even MAKES first team?

This infatuation with Stephen Curry has gone TOO FAR! He plays for Davidson, and THEY couldn’t win the SoCon, a mid major, for a trip to the Tourney, but he’s a 1st Team All American? How?! The only reason he gets looks and nods is because he can shoot 30 times a game and plays in the weak SoCon. When your team can’t make the tourney and you take all the shots, there is no way you should make 1st team. MAYBE 2nd or 3rd, but hell, Ty, Johnny and Sherron are WAY better; Sorry.

Which, by the way, is why his brother chose to be a dookie as opposed to a Tar Heel; as a dookie, he can shoot it 25 times in that system; he’ll NEVER get that many shots as a Heel.

DeJuan Blair would be borderline 1st and 2nd team, and I think Gerald Henderson (contrary to his performance against Villanova) should’ve at LEAST made 2nd team.
And the only reason I can’t smash James Harden is because I don’t know enough about him; which furthermore proves my point. To be a first team All American, I should naht have to look up your stats; it should be a given, hands down situation.

But here’s an even better question: Where the hell’s Johnny Flynn and AJ Price?
