Awesome for Steph as well.

From getting snubbed to getting voted in as a starter.

Kobe says he doesn't want to play, and if he does it will be a short cameo. If you're playing in games before the AS break the rule is you play in the AS, I guess.

D-Wade starting is even more ridiculous than Kobe.  at least Kobe has a legitimate reason that he is missing all these games 

So does Wade?

Lolz

Dwight not a starter...good for him 

.

The East being basically a 6'8" and under team.....

. I'd like to see more of the traditional lineup like Shaq said.

I'm not even that excited about all star games anymore

@ the Kyrie & D Wade starting backcourt

Kyrie?

 

[wavycrocket]

Man I can't stand the Roy Hibbert riding. I understand he's a defensive anchor, and his impact on the pacers having the best record in the league.... BUT A 7'3 ALL STAR STARTER, should give you more than 12 pppg & 7rpg on 46%.

Kyrie sitting in man Wall spot. Smh.

Howard's stardom has really taken a hit. Not a surprise, but yeah. I really can't believe Love got voted in, especially over him.

Why? They did the numbers and K Love is better

 

[lver of jordan]

NBA don't care about centers anymore.

 

[lynchpin33]

Barkley is something else....He is doing the game in Miami tonight and says that he is tired because he was hanging with the Biebs all last night...

You'd rather have an undeserving big, in a fast paced game...over a Forward that's actually an all star?

Because Love has never been a guy the fans have voted for. Dwight was.

No he means his stardom with fans. Dwight used to be top 3 in total votes as recently as 2012. He's definitely fallen in casual fan perception.

There has always been head scratchers for all star games tho. C'mon, Josh Howard was an all star.

Seems like he has even less of a filter than before. I still can't believe he said that Kellen Winslow crack earlier this week

True, but people are tired of Dwight. That played a factor. He definitely is deserving of an all star spot. In the grand scheme of it, it's not THAT important. Dwight can be a coaches selection and still play starter's minutes in the game.

All-Stars are getting their pics taken...

And those jerseys look just as :x

 

[wavycrocket]

Grant Hill the only reasonable one on TN, and he can't be heard. Smh

 

[Rootin4EverybodyBlack]

Lmao at Barkley saying Leonard whould be an all-star. Foolishness.

 

[Rootin4EverybodyBlack]

It's the All-STAR game not All-TEAM game.

 

[do work son]

Dwight has been very good this season. Love, Blake, and LMA, have just been better. No shame in that.

 

[beh235]

I hate them damn jerseys. Go back to letting everyone wear their team's jersey

Saints row 2.

 

[Nawzlew]

Curry

 

[beh235]

They should just switch to the hockey format and have a pool of players and pick sides and call it a day.

These aren't the reserves. Who's better doesn't really matter when they're all that good. It's a full-on popularity contest
