12.7 ppg and 8.7 apg is good, but its still not all-star quality.
It really doesn't matter his percentages when he takes such a little amount of shots. I mean, he doesn't even average 2 free throw attempts per game, so woohoo about his free throw percentage...
And then you throw in that he is a terrible defender, he just doesn't look like an all-star.

Calderon could up his ppg easily if he shot more. Hes shooting 56% from the field on a healthy number of attempts. But hes as "pass first" as pg's come. Very Stockton-like in his decision making. He'll only shoot if you aren't respecting his shot or cheating on screens or if he gets a pass in rhythm. Stockton was 13 ppg and he was a 10 time allstar. Scoring is not what you want in heaps from your pg position.

Don't even compare Calderon to Stockton, thats an insult to a legend. First of all, Stockton's teams were winners, they would have won it all twice if a guy named Michael Jordan wasn't around.
Stockton was also a terrific defender, and averaged like 5 more assists then Calderon does.
I agree Calderon is a good player, but you are way overrating him by saying he got snubbed for the allstar game. Who was he going to go over? Billups? Hamilton? Not a chance.

Learn to read before you make an ass out of yourself. See that part I underlined? I said they are similar in decision making. I never said they were the same in talent or skills. I merely pointed out the stockton example for the guy who claimed that 12.8 ppg is not good enough for allstar game. Wasnt saying that calderon is anywhere as good as stockton, but rather simply pointing out that for a pointguard, low scoring numbers are not that big a deal compared to the other stats as evident by stocktons 13ppg career average but legendary status because of his other stats.
