Unless the Jazz can get someone in the HORSE competition, or CP3 doesn't end up playing with his groin injury and Deron gets the nod, or if Deron agree's to fill in for Jameer Nelson in the Skills Challenge it looks unlikely that the Jazz will be represtented at all.

The Bobcats, Warriors, Bucks, Wolves, Kings, Wizards and Jazz all failed to send a player to All-Star weekend.

I understand the NBA has contacted the Clippers about producing Jason Hart to fill the Skills Challenge vacancy.

I'm fine with nobody being there. Especially Deron. Right now this team needs rest.

it seems like Memo and Korver are both worthy of a 3-point contest showing. The league should have chosen one of them to at least give the Jazz some representation.
