Wow I didn't really think Trae was seriously hated around the league. They're trying their hardest not to let him become an all-star this year.

The only representative from the franchise...

I wish they'd have let him participate in the 3-pt contest instead of stinky Julius Randle.

When you don't have any all-stars you know there's a problem. My expectations might be to high but if a player is getting paid $40 million per season they better be an all-star.

All nba is more important than a popularity contest. They need coaches to put each player in the best possible position to succeed ala Hardy out of Utah. If said player can't take advantage, then you know where the problem is.

Right, so here are your guys.

Phil Ford, Drazen Petrovic and Rod Strickland are the only non active players on this list who never played an NBA All-Star Game.

Carmelo Anthony, Kevin Johnson and DeAndre Jordan are the only players with 2 appearances on the list.

Congrats to Damian Lillard for winning the three point contest and Mac McClung for being crowned the slam dunk champion.

I have some major issues with both all-star weekend and all-nba teams. I feel like the ambiguity of positions results in teams of like 2 pg's and 3 forwards. Players should have a position listed and teams be forced to have a pg/sg/sf/pf/c.

I hope he returns to the contest next season and continues to succeed. I don't expect him to have much of a career in the league other than the G League. He will receive some minutes in the NBA just because he won and put on a show. People will want to see him in actual games.

He won't become anything special because he won't get any touches.
