All-Star Starters Announced

[Damian Necronamous]

West: Paul, Kobe, Durant, Griffin, Dwight
East: Rondo, Wade, LeBron, Carmelo, KG

No shocks there. Who do you have rounding out the squads?

My teams would be...
West: Westbrook, Parker, Harden, Aldridge, Lee, Randolph, Duncan
East: Irving, Williams, Jennings, George, Pierce, Bosh, Noah

Anybody got the final number of votes for the people who didn't make it?

[Bogg]

Well, now that Jeremy Lin only got paid like an okay-to-decent starter and didn't get voted into the All-Star Game, I'm glad we won't have to hear about all the great things that are going to happen to him because he's Asian anymore.

Honestly Joe Johnson deserves it over Deron. Deron has started playing better for PJ, but his suckage was the main reason Avery got fired. If Varejao is healthy he deserves a spot too. I think I'd take Faried too. He probably doesn't have All Star numbers, but he's got All Star heart and that's enough for me. The guy that interests me is Jamal Crawford. Clippers already have two starters, but Crawford has played out of his mind this year.

To me I feel Duncan, Lee, or Z Bo should of started over Griffin.

Thanks,

There weren't really a tight race for any spots...\

10 spots, 5 cities, kinda crazy when you think about it.

[Mattsanity]

Kobe is a legend. That's all I need to say.

Neither Joe nor Deron deserve to make it. Lopez does. And Deron's suckage wasn't the main reason Avery was fired. Avery's suckage was the main reason why Avery was fired.

Holiday, Jennings, George, Smith, Bosh, Noah, Lopez would be my East reserves.

Westbrook, Curry, Harden, Duncan, Zbo, Lee, Parker for the West.

I agree, Avery got himself fired not Deron. I'd be ok with Deron making it but Lopez has had a great year and definitely is the most deserving on that team. Joe has had a very mediocre year and shouldn't even be considered.

Holiday definitely deserves it, and I think Irving over either Jennings or Smith. Irving has had a great year despite the Cavs record.

Oh and Jesus Christ KG needs to go away. I realize this is strictly fans voting for their favorites but KG shouldn't be a starter. Much more deserving players. All-star used to me an accolade for players when it comes to their legacy now it's a joke.

Call me foolish but I was expecting JR Smith to at least make the list if he didn't make the team.

Foolish. He's having a good year, but it takes at least one full season back in the public consciousness after being a pure knucklehead before you can be considered all-star material.
