    (Ahem, Webber, Barkley..)

    16 ppg, below average shooting, 2 apg? I don't get it.

    Lillard, Batum, and maybe even Hickson deserve it over Crawford.

    Thank goodness the coaches got it right. Geesh.

    16 PPG in bench minutes. He's likely the best 6th man in the league right now. Or at least in the discussion.

    Gnarls Barkley and other analysts just don't get it sometimes. They are about statbo parts of the game. They ignore win share % or being a dominant pf that most teams and coaches prepare for.

    Curry was a snub, but he would have to go for either lee or Zach, since they were wild card votes. Aldridge was shoe in because he was voted all star reserve for forwards.

    He plays THIRTY minutes a game and isn't even the highest scoring bench player in the league. All he does is shoot and he doesn't even make 42% of his shots. It makes no sense to even CONSIDER him to be an All Star.

    Re: I don't understand why people think Jamal Crawford should've made the All Star te


    i assume it is just based on the total number of ballots a player is on with regular and wildcard votes not differentiated.

    zach was named ahead of LMA so apparently he was on more ballots.

    Lee was last, so if Curry bumped anyone it would have been him... but coaches won't vote in 6 guards yada yada, so Lee is an all-star.

    Because he make highlight plays. I guess. It's image over substance, like usual.

    Re: I don't understand why people think Jamal Crawford should've made the All Star te

    Whats funny about that comment is that the All Star Game is dominated by wings and guards.

    LaMarcus will probably play 6 minutes again.

    They're not really bench minutes, though. Based on MPG, he's 99th in the league. With 30 teams, that's basically 3 guys per team with more than he has. He plays 4th starter type minutes. Hickson averaes the same amount of minutes as he does, and is averaging a double double. Nobody would even closely consider him a snub.

    Probably true. Of course, going just off of his body language, he looked last year like he had no interest at all in playing in the game. Of course, that $250,000 bonus for being named is awfully nice.

    Well done. Very solid point! Plus, Hickson's efficiency ratings are much higher that Crawford's.

    Hickson was robbed!!

    Barkley was making the argument that Crawford and others should.get in since.they. had not previously. I do not think a better player should be penalized.

    Geesh, if they want highlight plays, let's introduce them to Lillard and Batum.

    As I said, Hickson, Lillard, and Batum deserve the All Star team ahead of Crawford.

    Crawford's never deserved to get in. Chuck's gotta lay off the booger sugar.

    He plays in LA. Media market dominance.

    I dislike GSW but have to agree Curry was a big time snub. The reason the team is good, a big part anyway, is that Curry is healthy. Yes, they've added some good pieces but without Curry they're lucky to be .500.
