Wasn't Bosh the center reserve? So now we're going to have Lebron and Lewis backing up Dwight?

I guess KG will play center... And the east will go small a lot.

KG hates playing center. Especially against guys like Yao and Shaq.

I hate to say it but

Vince Carter
Hedo Turkoglu
Andre Iguadala
Mike Bibby
Zydrunas Illgauskas
Richard Hamilton
Tayshawn Prince
Richard Jefferson

are ALL more deserving than Mo Williams, with Zydrunas Illgauskas leading my list.

Hopefully Vince Carter, Andre Iguodala, David Lee, Mike Bibby, Rajon Rondo, Josh Smith, Emeka Okafor, Antawn Jamison, Gerald Wallace, Troy Murphy, Shawn Marion, Andre Miller, Jose Calderon, and Caron Butler receive a thank you card from Maurice.

David Lee would have made so much sense considering the is backup center on the roster now and a ton of guards.

I am not really angered by this decision, the big three got in, I would have liked to seen Vince get the spot though.

I'm not upset, really. But, let's be honest... This was about politics.

yup. Cleveland fans will lose James next year, so why not let them have an extra all-star this year.

I don't get this at all. Should have replaced Bosh with another big man.

Our long national nightmare is finally over.

To think, the All-Star Game might have been played WITHOUT A GUY AVERAGING 17 POINTS AND 4 ASSISTS.

We were very close to the collapse of modern civilization as we know it.
