Very good point. It's as bad as T-Mac or AI getting into the All-star game, but it's just a popularity contest. Unless the All-Star game has some real meaning, undeserving players will be in it. Tough break for guys like Kaman, Z-Bo, and Deron who don't get enough recognition.

He is absolutely right.

How do you have a Western Conference All Star tem w/out Z-Bo or Kaveman??
With Stern as Commish any thing is possible

I agree entirely with Kaman; granted the Lakers are first in the Western Conference, but there should be some sort of requirement that players have to play X amount of games to be eligible to play in the all-star game. Not to mention, moving players around to different positions so that they can share the spot light is a bit ridiculous. No one's going to compensate for Kaman or Z-Bo to be in the game, but they're going to make arrangements for Gasol? Talk about getting shafted.

Hopefully this doesn't make him look bad to the coaches. Bright news Clippers are about to get a PG from the D-League

Who are the Clips getting from the D-League?

JameOn Curry

Via report by Lisa Dillman.

This took long enough about time. Looks like he might be a hot head but if he can contol the ball and shoot like stats show I'll take him all day everyday

I thought Curry was in France? Is he having a good year in the NBDL? do you think he Will he be any good on the Clips?

Looks nice from the stats:

Looks like a swagger cocky type player but he can shoot from what I read and he is a PG with some SG game. I hpe it works but I've been begging for a PG and SG help for a while so I'm happy just cause. Kareem Rush will be waived.

Great News Break New Era; the Clips just announced about 5 minutes ago.
Didn't he go to Oklahoma or OK State like 4 years ago?
Swagger like Ricky Davis 8 years ago

As far as I remember, Curry is still to serve a one game NBA suspension after his resisting arrest charge in early 2008.

Kaman's right. Some people base their all star picks soley on winning, and some base them on just the numbers. You have to weigh both of them in, and also consider the number of games played.. I watched TNT yesterday and I remember one of Chris Webber's East all star reserves was Jamal Crawford.

I just hope that the reserves are chosen fairly. The players selected for the all star team are the popular players on the popular teams. I really would like to see Kaman and Randolph make it and hopefully they do. If Gasol makes it then I will send an angry fan letter to David Stern. I really don't like that guy.

Some people have gotten their panties in a bunch based on what he said, but I do agree with him. Injuries are the reason that he was left off of the ballot, so they need to stay consistent with that reasoning. I also agree that Randolph should heavily be considered. He gets a lot of unfair hate, because "he is not a winner." He helped the Knicks have a decent record before they traded him here. He helped this team strings some wins together (we were 8-6 or so with him in the starting lineup before the injuries) and he has helped put Memphis in the playoff hunt this season.

I personally think Kaman has a much better chance to make the team than I thought he did a few weeks back. Too many potential voters are making a case for him. If he does end up on the team, I just hope that his jumper is falling that day and that his turnovers are limited.

Kaman should get in over Bynum but honestly, both those two deserve all-star spots this year. I don't think Pau will get a nod for injuries.
