They're all Centers. Smith is a PF. What's the point in comparing him to Centers in this debate? Compare them to other Centers if it's relevant. Or better yet, why not compare Smith to other PFs who made it and see how he stacks up.
And he has been being compared to SF's this whole thread? Isn't it about who is more deserving, not about what position one plays?
The Hawk fan laid out criteria, why Smith deserves it over Deng (they aren't the same position either) and I countered with, well there are several players that deserved it more than Smith did, so there is no point in crying.
Don't get me wrong, Smith has the talent to be an All-Star but there deffinately isn't a big enough difference betweent Pierce, Deng, Iggy etc to call it a "Snub". I'd say at this point in time they have all been just about as deserving as the other and someone had to be left out, and the coaches made their choice as to whom.
To me, a snub is someone who OBIVOUSLY was left out for a lesser player and this isn't the case. Could have gone a different way and then we would have this same thread as to why Deng, Pierce, Iggy etc were "snubbed". That just further proves that it was a tough call to make and it really wasn't a "snub".
