Your NBA All-Star Reserves

@hammer- true.. Remember Z-bo got over-looked big time in like 2005ish.

Love or Aldridge better take the starting spot… No disrespect to Timmy but both those guys are having better individual seasons than him.

no shaq or steve nash? steve volunteered to attempt a dunk!

Damn what about LA, KLove and MEllis? Why don’t they just send those guys to the east, have them replace those two hawks and Bosh. Also who’s going to be the West center? Probably Love which means that him and KD have to check DHow and Amare, oh oh.

The last time Ray A was in the ASG and got NO LOVE he stole the show and should have gotten MVP but the popular vote went to LBJ…fact not fiction. PP is playing some serious ball, who gets the reserve nod over KG? Rondo could have easily been a starter…so why the big complaints about Boston’s 4? Bosh is better than Shaq??? or anyone else in the East at his position? Let’s enjoy the game for what it is..

Wayyyy too many Celtics. Swap Felton for Ray or Pierce and Boozer for Horford. As far as Duncan making it, that’s iffy to me. If the Wolves had say 8ish more wins, Love would take his spot. I think Ellis deserved a nod, but the West just has a logjam. And tealish, you are a moron.

For those hatin’ on 4 C’s/only 6 teams repped; no one from Tor, Was, Indy, Cle, Mil, Phi was worthy. Boozer and Noah victim of injuries, while Captin Jack and GWallace have under performed. Wouldn’t have put Felton over Rondo, and JSmith would make it 3 Hawks from a team not leading their divison. Don’t complain without providing alternatives folks…

Please, if you’re going to say ‘player X should be there’ at least say who you think they should replace. Like who does Monta replace? Sure he’s deserving, but over Manu, Westbrook or Deron? Not quite.

Depending on who you talk to Tim Duncan made it because of the Spurs record and for what its worth most fans knew that either Manu or Tony Parker would get the spot. To be honest with Boston having four all stars I think that was because they made the finals last year( a game 7 at that) and their record this year. As far as wins and losses numbers and highlights on ESPN Blake Griffin deserved a spot 23/12 are nice stats for a rookie and the Clippers along with Baron Davis have been playing better lately they started off the season kinda slow. Lamarcus Aldridge should get the nod over Kevin Love who is ballin outta control and to his credit playing for Minnesota or not grabbing rebounds is about effort and real fans know the difference 15 boards a game aint nothin to sneeze at. Its easy to overlook Aldridge but Portland is playing hard despite injuries and he is clearly their best player and they need every bit of that 21 and 10.

I’m really happy Monta Ellis didn’t make it … such a ball hog and his team always sucks. at least iverson won being a ball hog. and don’t forget he got jealous of Stephen curry early last yr. Ellis= prima Donna

When I first saw the list I thought there were too many Celts, I didn’t agree with Horford or Bosh either. But when you look at the East, who else really deserves to be there? The only other All-Star big man out there is Boozer and he missed a large chunk of games due to injury. Maybe you throw Felton on there instead of Pierce, but you can’t really argue with the roster given whats available.

I would love the NBA to do sort of the hockey thing, where they pick two captains and let them choose players, regardless of conference. Just have Team Kobe and Team Lebron and let them alternate picks. The fans can vote for who the captains are, or they can vote for who starts after the teams are picked.

I’m suprised Love and Felton arent there…other than that, no complaints. Ginobliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii oh and Duncan is certainly not deserving of this spot. Charles Barkley said it best, its not a life time achievment award. Aldridge, and Rudy Gay shouldve recieved some recognition..

Way too many gripes on this page. The waaambulance
is on the way. It was in LA tending to the Lakers.

Good luck All-stars.

Griffin for pres.

david stern should have put kevin love, lamarcus, monta ellis, zach randolph, or someone else to east reserves. east reserves is kinda boring

I really like the east’s lineup personally…people say bosh shouldn’t be there, but come one. He’s still an elite pf who was on the olympic team, and the only reason he hasn’t put up better #’s is because he’s playing with lbj and dwade. I do think josh smith should make it at some point though.

The western conf. is a dif story…Love better take yao’s spot I swear to god. 30-30 is HISTORIC. it’s only been down a couple other times. I’m not saying he should make it over griffin bc to me not only is griffin a crowd pleaser, he is also sort of a history maker( he is one of a couple big men to put up 20-10 as rookies. the others? shaq,TD, and derrick coleman. B.Griff=future hall of famer(most likely)) if there’s anybody who doesn’t deserve to be in the ASG it’s probably Pau. Aldridge should be in the ASG as well… bc he’s stepped up to become the man of the trailblazers, with broy,greg oden,marcus camby, and now wes matthews out. Ideally(IMO), love would start, and Griff and Aldridge would come off the bench. David West is a good and clutch veteran but he’s already been an allstar, and his stats aren’t quite good enough this year. I like rudy gay better than manu even though he probably isn’t despite what stats say…but the spurs are killing everybody and they should have some people on the ASG. There’s nowhere to put the man..too many good guards and WAY too any good forwards

nash,zbo and monta should’ve made it…but honestly this year there are just too many good forwards and guards…like i cant put zbo over griffin or love can you? maybe LA but not love or griffin…not to me…smh.

teddy-I vaguely remember that….also yeah they hate monta…which is a shame since monta’s like a young kobe..only tiny.

LA, Love, Monta, and even Kevin Martin deserve burn in this game. The West is a nightmare for this kind of thing. Timmy not so much.

LMFAO@ ALL THE KEVIN LOVE SLURPERS, HIS TEAM IS HOT GARBAGE. TEAM SUCCESS HAS ALWAYS COUNTED TOWARDS ALLSTAR. that said, 4? celtics? really? but only two spurs? hmm. tony should have made it too, but deron and russ deserved it. yaos spot should go to lamarcus or zbo. theyre putting in work and getting wins. love is just a looter in a riot. who is he competing for boards with? darko? please. love can be an allstar when he sniffs the playoffs, or just not be on one of the worst teams in the league. some of you act like this is the first season youve watched the nba, and the allstar selection process. kevin love rightfully didnt make it, four celtics is just crazy. and zbo or lamarcus for yaos spot.

tim most certainly deserves his spot for what hes done this year, you know, only anchor the defense for the best team in the league. its ok, you can say it. go ahead and drop the “with the best record” part. spurs are the best team in the league. DYESS!!!!!!

well, dumbass, as i explained about a week ago, bosh and wade were voted in as starters, so the fans control that. zbo made it last year cuz he was the reason the grizz improved, they were on track to make the playoffs, plus he beasted. david lee was an injury replacement, that was boguts spot. you are not an all star when your team is 11-37. damn, you are stupid. is this your first year watching the nba?

Wow Tarzan, yet again you talk (or type) out of your @ss and have absolutely no idea what the f*ck you’re talking about. Chris Bosh made the 2006 All-Star team as a RESERVE, and the Raptors went 27-55 that year. F*cking idiot. OH BUT WAIT, RECORD IS THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS.
And in case you haven’t noticed, yes David Lee was an injury replacement–but he was on a team with a crappy record. Which is pretty much what you’re arguing Kevin Love shouldn’t be. You just said Aldridge or Z-Bo should replace Yao. Why? Because of record. Well the KNICKS ALSO HAD A SH!TTY RECORD BUT DAVID LEE MADE IT, so your logic has zero merit.
The insults were cute though, you smug f*cking imbecile.

I won’t complain if its Randolph either.. Odom will be a stretch though…

Big Z was an All Star in 2003. His team was 9-38. Please stop making things up.

yes yes yes!!! Russell made it! Should have been the starter over Paul, but as long as his in, i`m glad!
