They both deserve it, espically Duncan he's been having an unreal season.

Both deserve it. TD is having a throwback year performance-wise and Parker has been his usual self. He must be the most undervalued/rated player in the NBA. He's never mentioned with the top tier PG's but his numbers and overall impact on a consistent title contender suggest he's right there.

I don't like that Howard's starting. It's the fans that put him there but I'm not even sure he deserves to be an All Star at all, let alone a starter. Same with KG.

Brook Lopez got snubbed.

Lopez and Curry both got snubbed.

Over the years i've began to care less and less about All-Star selections. It seems that the All-Star game has gone from being a display of leagues most talented players to a popularity contest and that's basically made this game meaning less in my eyes.

I feel snubbed in Utah, but the problem is, to get the guys I want in, I would have to take out someone. Parker and Duncan are the two I couldn't take out, Griffen/CP3 and Durant/Westbrook are the same as Parker/Duncan.

Aldridge and Harden are two I could, there not winning like GS and UTA are. I would have given Curry, Harden's spot. Then I would give Jefferson Aldridg's spot. Not because of stats or popularity, but because they are winning games, and they are actually in line for going to the playoffs.

But I am not gonna get into why I don't think Kobe, Howard, Rondo, or Garnet should go. I just feel stats shouldn't be the only thing. I mean look at Lakers stats, they are off the hook, yet they are not winning...at all.

Yep, totally agree. It's been years since I even watched the AS game. Maybe a decade or more. It's boring. The dunk comp and 3 pt contest hold some interest, but even then I'm happy to watch the highlights.

And I think our players feel the same way. You know Duncan could care less about being there. If Pop is coaching the team, TD will barely play.

With a W against PHX and the Clips' L to POR, Pop looks increasingly a lock by Feb 3.

The Spurs play CHA (who have had a few wins as of late, but come on, the Spurs blew them out by 30 in Charlotte) then WAS (who are playing well lately, though) before Feb 3.

Yep. And you really know that Pop has zero interest in coaching the West All Stars.

Lopez got in for Rondo, so now Curry is the biggest snub...but that doesn't matter Lee got in.

I still hate the fan vote thing. The big cities are always automatic. I mean so many losers are in the All Star reserves. I don't care what anyone says, stats don't mean ****, unless your winning games. I mean whats the point in being the highest points per game and be under .500(LAL, BOS)

Now Howard might be injured, so I wonder if Curry is going to get his spot??
