Who didn't deserve to be snubbed?

Maybe it'll be a more greener All-Star weekend next season.

Hopefully, Nike will push some Rondo ads this year so he'll become a household name and force the league to acknowledge him.

I still don't get why Kia Motors haven't thought to hire Rondo for their car line.

With nelson out, rondo might get a nod for the skills challenge if not the big game.

I feel Stern will try to appease Cleveland and even things out among the three best teams in the east since Boston will have two players and Orlando had three players representing the eastern conference reserves. So, I think the choice will be Maurice Williams if Nelson is unavailable.

Cavalier players weren't pleased at all.

As far as the skills competition is concern, Rondo is my choice for Nelson's replacement.

That MRI on Tuesday revealed a torn right labrum.

"The course of treatment for the injury will be determined during the next week," the Magic said in a statement. "At that point, his playing status will be evaluated."

If the commissioner wants to add another point guard to the East, Cleveland's Mo Williams and Boston's Rajon Rondo would be the leading candidates, with Chicago's Derrick Rose -- who will be in Phoenix to participate in the T-Mobile Rookie Challenge & Youth Jam and the Skills Challenge -- as the dark horse candidate. If the commissioner decides to reward the best player regardless of position, either Boston's Ray Allen (who is averaging 18.0 points per game and is shooting nearly 50 percent from the field) or Detroit Tayshaun Prince (13.9 points and 6.5 reounds a game) could be the choice.
