Good- If Calderon was chosen, he will only attract more money during his restricted free agency

Well, KG was supposed to go, it's not the other teams fault he isn't going to play.

Turkoglu deserves to be there over Allen.

In most years... Ray has been garbage this year excluding two game winners.

Hedo deserved it.

might be the case...otherwise Hedo just got a slap to the face...it made almost perfect sense to replace Butler w/ Hedo, but Stern is so respectful, first sheed now allen, if shaq was still in the east he would have been named

Somewhere in the United States, Hedo Turkoglu sheds a single tear, while Joe Johnson suffers a laughing fit. :)

Ray Allen? Bah.

This is the third seperate time I'm saying this... Hedo got robbed, again!

But IF Jason Kidd is in fact traded tonight or tomorrow, then I think Hedo'll get that spot.

It seems like David Stern is doing whatever it takes to keep Jose out :(

Based on his numbers, Allen absolutely does not deserve to be in the all-star game, especially over Calderon. Allen is known as a "shooter" yet he's only about 42% (last I checked) this year and under 20PPG. It's not like he makes up for it with a ton of rebounds or assists either, he's borderline anemic in those areas.
