Truth News

In today's Daily Dime Bill Walton shared his All Star Team:

"EASTERN CONFERENCE

Starters: Gilbert Arenas, Dwyane Wade, Shaquille O'Neal, LeBron James, Caron Butler.

Reserves: Dwight Howard, Chris Bosh, Jason Kidd, Vince Cater, Richard Hamilton, Joe Johnson, Chauncey Billups.

Didn't make the team: Ben Gordon, Luol Deng, Jermaine O'Neal., Antawn Jamison, Michael Redd."

Paul Pierce did not make it. No big deal, he's been hurt for a while. But if Michael Redd, also injured, is a notable miss, then so is Pierce. Damn you Walton.

- I could listen to Pierce talk about Antoine Walker all day. This clip also represents happier times.

- Finally Pierce is part of a new Nike ad campaign along with 9 other NBA superstars. I'm not a particularly religious guy and even I think "The Second Coming" is a bit much. We all know there will never, ever be another Santa Claus.
