All-star weekend snubs

Lot of questions about the All-star reserves ... Duncan, Durant, Westbrook? Even the starters for that matter with Bryant. Five players from the West (including Unibrow) that are on 7th seed or lower teams. Lillard, Zbo, Dirk, even Cousins?

Then Alex Len not chosen for the Rising Stars Challenge. Wow. Too many good international centers. I suspect the World team is gonna kick the USA teams azz in this one.

WHy do they even choose Duncan / Wade if they won't play more than a couple of minutes anyway?

Lillard didn't get in? He should not have been named All-Star last year (remember a guy named Dragic?) so it's only fair.

Boogie should be there over Duncan, hands down.

Thankfully Wade won't be there, shouldn't be anyway.

KJ McDaniels got snubbed in the USA v Intl game too - Zeller???? Yikes...

NBA has to put in guys like Duncan and Wade for the sake of getting fans to watch.
Glad to see some new faces.

With seemingly no Suns being part of the weekend, I'll be playing Destiny instead.

MAYBE they put IT or Dragic back in the skills contest?

I hope Knight gets in over Korver in the East. Korver is a spot shooter and only belongs in the 3pt contest.
The Bucks have been solid and should get little love.

I sadly can't argue that no Sun is in the game.

For the Rising Stars game, Minny had Wiggins already. Good opportunity to get another team in there with Len over Dieng but what do I know.

Yeah, that blows. Let the guys who are playing better go instead of them? Brandon Knight or Korver and Cousins or Lillard are both more deserving

I'm beyond shocked that Cousins didn't get in after the season he's been having.

We got a pretty decent squad considering not a single Suns player has ever been elected to an All-Star game.

NVM he got in as Kobe replacement.

Someone never seen Korver played before.

I'm sorry but I am one that says if you cant have your team in playoff contention, you don't deserve to make the all-star team. I don't agree with a lot of people on that list being there.. Wade, Bosh, Durant, Westbrook, and Cousins should not be on that list. You're not an all star if your team isn't winning! Period.
