    Hey Daniel,

    I wrote an article about All-Star games and what's wrong with them. Also maybe that they should get rid of them. I would love to hear your thoughts. Thanks.

    Daniel, I saw your comment about Faizan Qurashi's top 20 NBA players all time list being the worst you've ever seen. Given that, I hope you consider looking at my list. It is 65 players long but if you could center your focus on the top 20 and let me know what you think of my list, that'd be great. Thanks.

    I appreciate the criticism Daniel, but maybe you should look at my archive before you think I only know Minnesota sports. I have written over 30 NBA History articles.
