He said the coaches have long term resentment towards baron davis coaches dont like him. Walton said that's why he's not on the team , and "they dont like his attitude"...he also mentioned him and jackson too...TOTAL BS

stephen a defended him saying hes been great this year with a great attitude but according to walton, it doesnt matter...

It is really messed up that West got it over Baron. So sad.

It's true, that was the biggest reason choir boy Roy and West got in over BD. Just b/c of image.

Davis was robbed, what a joke.

West didn't get it over Baron. He is a F and Baron is a G. They weren't in competition. Roy got it over Baron because he is playing better than Davis, and is a huge reason why the Blazers are doing great this year.

If that's the case, they need to change the all-star reserve system. Take it out of the coaches hands and let players vote maybe?

^ i think the two "wildcard" slots were roy and west, so it couldve been any position

LOL@Stephen A for thinking that three months of good behavior is a reputation changer.
Ron Artest hasn't acted up for 8 hours! Let's have the Queen knight him and declare him a saint! Granted, he was sleeping the whole time, but he's been great!

actually west was in competition, they were wild cards. reserves are 2 guards 2 fowards and 1 center and 2 wildcards.

Couldn't this have gone in one of the other five all-star threads?

And, for all the people that continue to dismiss Roy and how Portland has struggled lately, those same people forget Golden State started 0-6(I Believe) until Stephen Jackson(yes..that knucklehead) came back and they started rollin'.

And they took a guard with one of the wild cards. Are you seriously suggesting they should have 6 guards and 6 F/Cs on the team? Don't be foolish.

Best post in this thread. Frankly I thought Roy should just be in the Sophomore game but he has been playing really well. I guess the coaches thought he was playing "All-Star" well.

Sorry, it's just every year we see OMGZ [insert guard from my team] didn't make it but [insert lesser big man] did! It's just so damn stupid and annoying.

^ my apologies for coming off that way, and yes this could have been put in another thread...i just wanted to let people know that there were indeed other factors in this...

I agree. And it's probably always going to be this way. Especially in the Western Conference.

But even that doesn't really matter.
Bosh isn't officially a C. He's listed on NBA.com as a F (http://www.nba.com/playerfile/chris_bosh/), as well as on the Raptors official website (http://www.nba.com/raptors/roster/), and was a F on the all-star ballot as well.
But the coaches voted for him, with the intention of him playing C, and he wasn't a wildcard.

Then again, we have no idea who the wildcards even were, do we?

Last 2 positions can be any players.
