    What an arrogant ass! Gave NO credit to his teammates at all! Bashes the town of Portland, and says LA and Oden will never be as good as me...

    Unbelievable! The SF Chronicle reports, " Shaquille O'Neal joined Rashard Lewis and Jameer Nelson on the All Star reserve squad. Also on the West roster for the Feb 15 game in Phoenix are Chauncey Billups of the Nuggets, Paul Gasol of the Lakers and Tony Parker of the Suns."

    Are they missing someone?

    Three All-Stars on the Magic? I don't think so. Dwight Howard is a lock, but Nelson is underwhelming. I don't think he should have made it. This is a team that we should have swept. Mo Williams was robbed.

    ?

    They are averaging very similar stats in terms of pts/reb/ast/etc., only Nelson is shooting 50% from the field and 44% from three and Williams is shooting 45% and 38% respectively.

    Mo Williams is the second best player on the second best team in the east. Jameer Nelson is the 3rd or 4th best player on the 3rd best team. I just don't think the Magic deserve to have three All-Stars.

    I don't either, but I don't think it's Mo Williams who was robbed. He's simply not putting up good enough statistics for him to warrant an all-star selection.

    I also think the "being on the best team" argument is overrated. You should make the all-star team based on how well you play, not how well your team plays. For example, Mo Williams was putting up similar stats in Milwaukee, but no one would have said he was an all-star.

    Shhhh. Don't tell that to Mixum. And as for Shaq being on the team, I agree. Sure he's missed a few games here and there to take time off, but he's been a true force and I don't think any center has made more of an impact in the west than him and Yao.

    They're both playing better than Iverson though. Iverson gets a free pass every year. Damn fan votes...
