Not that I care much about the All-Star Game but I find it odd that Chauncey is rarely in the conversation when it comes to the reserve guards.

Should win player of the month as well.

Most of the people do not realize what he brings to the table. It is not a surprise that Nuggiez have been the black sheep of the league. for no reason we have more haters than lovers when it comes to nuggets.

But personally i am not worried about him entering the ASG. coaches will choose him easily.

Chauncey isn't on the all star team?

Apparently averaging nearly 20/3/6 on the 3rd best team in the league isn't all-star caliber.

And that's from a guy who's impact on the game has nothing to do with stats. Someone dropped the ball, for sure.
