Any grievances? I liked Josh Smith over Joe Johnson but no real complaints. It'll be nice not to have to listen to Redd about it this year. And it's kind of fun to see some new guys fill out the roster.

Kind of ironic that a thread titled "All Stars" would need an OT preface on the Bucks board

I have a mancrush on Brandon Roy so I'm happy.
But, in all honesty, I probably won't end up watching anyways, so I don't know how much I care regardless.

Yeah I didn't want anyone to get all breathless thinking Andrew's last month might've got him in.

Interesting that they selected 4 PF/C backups and no true backup SF. Howard has had a tremendous year. I like him, too.

Not watching the game since Redd isn't on the team.

I hate to burst your bubble but if you saw Michael Redd on the street and you politely asked him for his ''autograph'' he'd probably turn around and spit in your face.

Nah, I've already met Redd, he's a very nice guy.

In New Jersey with his 19-26 ball club. Coaches don't usually vote in guys on losing teams. They probably voted in JJ after: 1) considering the alternatives, and 2) because of the fact that the Hawks have been a surprise team.

If people on here honestly think Redd would "spit in your face" then they seriously need to evaluate Redd again. I've met him 4 times, gotten his autograph twice, and he's just a really nice guy.
I remember one time he walked past me out of the tunnel and I dropped my Sharpie, didn't notice, and he picked it up and handed it to me. I know it doesn't mean he's the nicest guy in the world, but most NBA players wouldn't give a damn about anything like that.

What no bogut ? I thought he was as good as Walton! Somebody must be held accoutable. take names. Do something. a severe injustice/oversight has been made. or maybe not. I was kind of surprised that neither okafur or zman was selected as both are having mediocre years. I guess bosh was selected as the reserve center. - no real shocker.
Maybe Bogut should make a funny video next year. It worked for Bosh.

Barron Davis should of been in, especially over Iverson. And Joe Johnson is not a allstar.

I'm just happy Caron Butler got in, he's been awesome.
Not too sure how Rip gets in, his season has been solid, but nothing overly impressive. Statistically Redd has had the better season, but it's obvious the coaches are excluding players based on their teams record. The SG pickings in the east are really slim.

Henry Abbot on Michael Redd not making the all-star team:
Michael Redd
It is never good when your team is bad. It is never good when you get hurt. It is worst of all, for your All-Star chances, when your team plays better when you're injured.

Brandon Roy is starting to be my new favorite player over any current Bucks.

Johnson made it over smith.
Davis not making the allstar team is crazy. Just shows how far away the east is.
