    I know Dame said he won't have the same reaction as last year, but he's more deserving of being on the roster this year than last. He's carried this team. We were supposed to be the second-worst team in the league. We're much better than anyone expected, and it's mostly due to Dame. How he wouldn't be recognized for his performance is beyond me, but I'm always left shocked by the All-Star roster.

    I suspect that Dame won't make the team..... but if LMA makes it? That's absurd.

    Especially because Aldridge is having a worse year than a few of the years where he got snubbed here in Portland. He's not even as important to his team as Dame is to his. I guess you can't get to the all star game unless the rest of your team is good enough to help you win more games.

    LMA is averaging just under 16 and 9 per game while shooting almost 49%.
    He has taken zero 3 pt shots. I am guessing Pop does not let him get too far from the basket.

    I like to think of it this way, if you removed Dame and put in LA to this team are we 21-26 right now with this current team?

    None of those LMA complaints matter because his inclusion would just be the coaches rewarding the Spurs, not him personally.

    No one will mention that after his career is over though, so short term yes, it is about the spurs, but long term, it's just another number added for him.

    Taylor Swift came 4th in Australia's annual alternative music countdown by the same reasoning.

    I'm actually surprised so many people are into the ASG. Personally I would rather he didn't get it and rested for the week. All star weekend is a circus act

    Eric Sogard took the fan vote in some MLB TV thing over Felix Hernandez for also the same reasoning.

    It was cool when dame did every event just cause it had never been done but now im over it. Dude got snubbed in dunk contest when his warm up dunk was the best dunk of the night.

    I use to love the all star game but the last 10-15 years have been shit shows

    I really hope he snubs the league back. No media appearances, no rap performance at all star weekend, no 3 point or skills contest. Just a long week chillin in Hawaii, enjoying life, eating pineapples.

    LA doesn't deserve to be there. Not at all. I knew GS would have three. That was inevitable. I know the Spurs are winning, but good grief....

    Bizzare Zaza Love sounds like a cross between:

    and


    Which, frankly, would be fuckin' awesome.

    Maybe people thought it was a vote for "biggest head in the NBA"?
