<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Flight23:</div><div class="quote_post">OK everyone is in agreement that he is deserving that is no longer the issue...the issue is will he get in and I'd say the majority believe he will not. Cannot take anything away from Jamison or JO.</div> JO does not deserve an All Star spot for a couple reasons. One, the stunt he pulled in the fight. Totally unnecessary. Secondly, he's hardly played this year so far. He doesn't deserve it at all and shouldn't make it in my opinion.
There is absolutely no way O'Neal is deserving of an All-Star spot at the moment. To me the two clear-cut East forwards are Jamison and Jefferson, thus far.
I would be shocked if JO isn't voted onto the All start team. His suspension hurt, sure, but if the federal court rules in the arbitrator and JO's favor, he will be in the all star game. He's just too good not to be, I mean, this guy was an MVP contender last year. Coaches vote based on current year's performance, and oustide of his fight, his PERFORMANCE has not dropped at all from last season.
omeka He is not having an all-star caliber season but in the foward deprived east he should be the backup. Unfortunatly for him there is a definite prejiduce against rooks (melo and LBJ last year) so I dont know if he will make it but he deserves it.

He's getting 15/12 a night consistently and he's just getting better as it is. Also, he's #3 in the league in rebounding, #2 in offensive rebounding, #3 in double doubles, and yea, I could continue to go. Beyond this, he's got something like 16 straight double doubles right now. So, I would love to hear your argument as why he is not having an All Star calibur season.
I think he deserves a spot in the all star team. He's stats are very good and has been very consistent. He's young and still learning too. Not sure if he would make it though but yeah, he definitely deserves it.
Ill vote him for All-Star cause of the show he put on in the fight lol... i thought it was pretty funny seeing Artest jackson and ONeal bashing and throwing fists at the fans
^yes emeka okafor was really involved in the fight i wanna see okafor in the All-star game. its true that if lebron didn't make it okafor almost shouldn't but did lebron have 18 consecutive d/d? or did he avarage 11 boards?
