So ah, No Hawk (or former) made the All Star Game?

[Deeman]

even Lebron knows smoove got snubbed

LeBron JamesVerified‏@KingJames

Always believe there should be 15 on both rosters so there's no snubs. #East- B.Jennings, J Smooth, PP #West- S.Curry, J.Crawford, M.Gasol

Uh huh, so who is

So you're saying you don't agree with my response about All Star voting, and just assuming I'm upset because Josh didn't make the All Star game? No. I'm upset because the All Star voting and events is a complete joke. I wish they would turn this back around where it actually did mean something. There ARE players who actually deserve to be on the team. Should Josh? I'm not sure, but should there be other players who should had made it over some players? YES. It isn't fair, but hey, "It is what it is."

Good try!

Hehehe, okay, let's play. Who's on your list of snubs that you feel fans and coaches are ass hats for not voting in? Because your "turning around" hasn't offered any solutions as to who exactly should be in charge instead.

Lebron is an idiot. Even with his 15 man roster the Nets are still snubbed and uhm, how many players dress for a regulation game?

[lethalweapon3]

There will ALWAYS be snubs. That said, since teams have roster minimums of 13 (and have for awhile now), there should be squabbling over who the "14th guy" was that got snubbed, not the 13th.

Let's play what? I'm not going to debate on who we think who should had made the All Star team. I don't want to get someones panties in a bunch. That being said, I wish they would make the All Star Game like the MLBs All Star Game. You will have players out there going hard to have home court advantage in a 7 games series. It's very exciting to watch.

And I'm sure the coaches would be picking different players because they would view each player different and respect what they bring to the table. Tyson Chandler would definitely be picked if that's the case because he's a big and a great defender. And you would need him on the East team if they wanted to win the game (Homecourt advantage), but that doesn't matter because no one cares about the All Star Game anymore.

Oh so the MLB's selection process is better now where even the best scrubs from the scrubbiest teams have to automatically make it? No idea what the result of the All Star game has to do with the actual selection process but perhaps the solution here is to just add player votes to go along with coach/managers and fans. Yea that'll solve guys getting snubbed.....or we can just stop pretending that you aren't the biggest remaining Josh Smith homer on this site trying to disguise your outrage by vaguely attacking the selection process while offering zero solutions to it.

Add to it, the majority of the past All Star games have been surprisingly competitive for a bunch of guys that got nothing to play for but just maybe it'll be more so if they added a gimmick to drum up fan interest......wait.

I really, really, really hope you're are not that dumb. Do you not understand the point i'm trying to make? I said I wasn't going to debate on who & who should had made it because I did not want to get anyones panties in a bundle, but I guess it's a little late for that.

Let's see here...

If the All Star game actually meant something like having homecourt advantage, I'm absolutely sure the caoches would be choosing different players over any other players in order to WIN the game.

Tyson Chandler WOULD be there because he plays defense and is a big body in the paint (He also deserves to be there too because NYK are the 2nd team in the East, and he's a main reason), but defense don't mean anything apparently.

That's funny because I've said this for years and years, and even mentioned it last month before the All Star voting came out. Good try.

Star games have been surprisingly competitive for a bunch of guys that

Are you seriously trying to argue that those games are competitive? Maybe the last few minutes...

So when I see a bunch of games end with scores 5 points apart......they weren't competitive.

And coaches are selecting guys like Luol Deng for flash.......not to win games.

[capstone21]

Who cares...It's the all stator game....As for Deng...he should not have gotten in ahead of Lopez

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Wow.

With the year that Steph Curry and the Warriors are having, how does he NOT get in?

Kinda shocked that Lopez didn't get in either.

And I guess JJ's late push for a spot wasn't enough to get him in.

[benhillboy]

And I guess JJ's late push for a spot wasn't enough to get him in.

Thank goodness. Odds are Irving can match Joe's All-Star career point total in one game. What is it, 17 whole points? Irving or Holiday could drop that in a half. Edited January 25, 2013 by benhillboy

I don't think the all star game should be looked at as a barometer of a player's success it's more of a popularity contest/who is FUN to watch. If you want to judge how well a player played throughout the year that's what the all NBA teams are for. The all star game should be about the best athletes in the world having fun out there. I mean sure Tony Parker has had a better year than Steph Curry but who is more fun to watch? I'd much rather watch Curry out there taking crazy three with his beautiful jumpshot.
