    Why the early announcement for JJ? Do all of the players already know? Congrats, regardless. Could there still be hope for a Jax sighting at the ASG? Baron? Golden State needs to be represented!

    That is strange that he knows early. I’m guessing he was probably suppose to keep it quiet.

  • Dirtybird Posted: Jan.31 at 9:46 am
    I think they lied to him. I’d like to see him go but he and his team aint playing well. He must have nude photos of the coaches.

    hes a bum.

  • Truth About It Posted: Jan.31 at 10:46 am
    Whatever. Love is love. All I’m saying is that Caron Butler and Antawn Jamison better be on that east squad.

  • Tarzan Cooper Posted: Jan.31 at 10:50 am
    jose!

  • Captain America Posted: Jan.31 at 11:11 am
    Agreed, Warriors should have Baron and probably Jax. Caron is a killer this year. Is he still injured though?

  • Russ Bengtson Posted: Jan.31 at 11:16 am
    They should kick him off the team for blabbing.

  • ends Posted: Jan.31 at 11:20 am
    TNT should sue him for screwing up the anouncement. Now how they gone keep us in suspense a whole hour before the tip off. My vote…get charles liquored up.

    Damn shame Hedo should’ve made this squad, here’s hoping caron cant play

    The only All Star on the Hawks team this year is Josh Smith. Apparently the coaches know as little as the fans.

  • peteb80 Posted: Jan.31 at 12:09 pm
    Poor Joe, what a cruel prank.

  • Drewski Posted: Jan.31 at 12:15 pm
    I will shed 3 tears if Baron doesn’t make it…

  • Jeronimo Posted: Jan.31 at 12:16 pm
    I’m with Tarzan here: my man Calderon should be an All-Star (and now that we’re at it, the Most Improved Player as well)

  • Lang Whitaker Posted: Jan.31 at 12:26 pm
    I’m surprised JJ made the team, not because he doesn’t play like an All-Star but because he doesn’t get calls like an All-Star should. And Coco, Smoove is my main man, but he’s not an All-Star, not yet anyway.

  • Co Co Posted: Jan.31 at 12:30 pm
    If the Hawks have an All star, it’s Josh.

  • Co Co Posted: Jan.31 at 12:30 pm
    Plus his numbers are comparable to every other forward in the East, cept Bron.

  • Spaceship Jay Posted: Jan.31 at 12:43 pm
    Yes! Joe Johnson!.. Wait, Joe Johnson? I’m…. confused. Chris Bosh should be invited, but for the halftime show. He could do his Youtube advertisement live

  • Mike Posted: Jan.31 at 12:55 pm
    Holly,
    Kobe is all the representation that the Golden State needs

  • riggs Posted: Jan.31 at 12:58 pm
    i agree with co co, but not (only) because shes fine but shes right.

  • Co Co Posted: Jan.31 at 1:03 pm
    Aw Riggs thanks.

  • wedemhornets Posted: Jan.31 at 1:25 pm
    when and where are the rest going to be announced..the nba.com and nba.com/allstar are hush hush as is espn.com/nba and the daily dime…i am dying to know..i want my CP3 all star jersey

  • The Best Yet Posted: Jan.31 at 2:12 pm
    Jeronimo, I gotta agree and disagree with you. Yes Jose Calderon should be an all-star this year, but MIP wouldnt be accurate. Dude always puts up decent numbers. now that his minutes have more than doubled, his production has done the same.
    I think MIP should go to CP3, maybe even Hedo.

  • underdog Posted: Jan.31 at 2:26 pm
    Who was the last Hawks player to made the all-star team? Dikembe? And who was the last starter from the Hawks? Dominique?

  • Ken Posted: Jan.31 at 2:50 pm
    Didn’t JJ make it last year? Nash should be a lock for reserves, and Sheed is a pretty safe bet. If Caron doesn’t make it, that would be a travesty. I hope Baron makes it, but if Paul gets in instead, that’s hard to argue with.

  • sjeezy Posted: Jan.31 at 4:03 pm
    iono, considering the east, im not that surprised by the pick for the quiet storm, but pierce and allen are a must

  • Kevin Posted: Jan.31 at 4:41 pm
    i’d laugh if Johnson isn’t announced later.

  • what Posted: Jan.31 at 4:47 pm
    Joe should skip the game and rest his ankle. He has been stinkin it up so far in the new year.

  • Russ Bengtson Posted: Jan.31 at 6:43 pm
    Awesome that the first three Eastern guards named play for sub-.500 teams.

  • Jordan Hagedorn Posted: Jan.31 at 7:06 pm
    I see all 10 starters for the all star game have their own shoe. Should be fun to watch

  • GLOR!A Posted: Jan.31 at 7:58 pm

    YA D!GG

  • DP Posted: Jan.31 at 8:02 pm
    It’s got to be the shoes man. It’s got to be those damn shoes. play wit it.

  • TADOne Posted: Jan.31 at 8:18 pm
    Don’t know if anyone is on here and watching, but the East reserves are: JJ, Billups, Rip, Bosh, Caron, Antawn, and Pierce. So no Calderon, Allen, or Jefferson.

  • TADOne Posted: Jan.31 at 8:21 pm
    Dirk, Booz, CP3, Amare, Roy (HELL YES!), David West!!!!, and Nash for the West. So no Jax, Camby, Deron, or Parker.

  • TADOne Posted: Jan.31 at 8:21 pm
    Or B Diddy.

  • Cameron Posted: Feb.1 at 12:14 am
