<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">What do you mean he "earned" his spot? Being voted in by the fans is hardly earning anything other than a lot of time on sportscenter. He gave a half assed effort in Toronto, and since he turned it on in NJ he deserves to make the team? I'm too lazy to even continue talking about this guy</div> This statement isn't as hypocritical as it is funny, either way- Carter has made the all star game because he can jump. Yes he can do a lot of other things too, but his last couple All-star appearances are soley based off the early 2000's. He is STILL basking in the glory of that dunk contest, that's not his fault though. This year, Wade should def. get the nod over Carter, the only reason the Miami Heat are even on the cusp of contention conversations is because of him. Shaq who? Wade has carried that team (maybe not well but imagine how bad they'd be if he hadn't been there). As for Carter- He did put the team on his back during that win streak, but it takes more than a 3 week stretch to make up for years of slacking off. Oh- and the Nets have lost 3 straight
