They're just bitter. Bitter that they either skipped on Andre, or that he never fell to their pick. Don't care. He's still the GOAT.

[Andrew]

Good selections for the most part, though there was definitely a case for Drummond being named to the first team. I'm guessing his injury and the subsequent games that he missed led to him being overlooked.

Isn't he the one that makes more airballs than the freethrows?

[Andrew]

Free throws are not his strength by any stretch of the imagination, but there are more positive things that he brings to the table.

Isn't he the one that makes more airballs than the freethrows?

He's also the 6'10", 270 lbs. center that can guard Dwyane Wade one-on-one and steal the ball from him in consecutive possessions.

Too much information. Cannot process.

He's also the 6'10", 270 lbs

Wow at the lies from this hater. He's 7 foot, 297 lbs.

[Leftos]

I'm glad NovU joined the discussion.

I'm even more glad shadowgrin had the video handy and saved me the trouble.

Now shut up, bow down, and show some respect.

Drummond vs Daye?

[Axel The Great]

It's okay. Drummond will get even with this robbery later on in his career with multiple All-NBA First Team and All-NBA Defensive First Team selections.

[Jackal]

Drummond is a boss, he & Monroe are gonna be a fun front court tandem to watch for years to come. Even if it is with the Pistons...

It's not Drummond's fault that he's the only one who can perceive the 11th dimension and that 'airball' he did was actually a kill shot to an 11th dimension being that was threatening our existence.

See how serious his face was after 'missing' that first FT and how he was relieved after the second 'missed' FT. He knew how close it was for us from being wiped out of existence.

We should celebrate the "Andre Drummond" day each year to the day he saved the world from that horrible threat.

[shadowgrin]

He doesn't wish to. It's an ongoing war. Just remember the countless times he saved us every time he 'airballs' a FT.
