Another vote for Kemba

Zillgit raises a very obvious point that I've considered but have never seen addressed: We now feature 13 active players on rosters, why are all-star rosters still limited to 12?

I still think Kemba should be in the top 12, maybe top ten, it's just that there's so many damn point guards.

Best I can tell it's looking like a competition between Kemba, Millsap and Embiid for the last spot, with two of the three making the team.

George, Love, Wall and IT are pretty much locks. Next three that seems to be on everyone's lists are some version of the 3 above - except some of those TNT knuckleheads who had Howard over Millsap for some reason.

@ChrisBHaynes
Washington Wizards guard John Wall has been voted by coaches to be an Eastern Conference All-Star reserve, league sources tell ESPN.

Your right it's 100% gonna come down to those 3 with 1 being left out. We'll see. Anyone know what time the reserves are being announced? Inside the nba is a long show I hope they don't drag us around for hours
