All-Star/ BRoy.........

So Carmelo gets the snub in the West. Interesting...

I would have taken Hedo over Lewis, but the coaches know best I guess. I'm glad Granger got a shot.

Pretty silly, IMO. Fortunately, Stern isn't xenophobic.

Its not about being xenophobic. How much access do these countries have that our voting to NBA games? Nigerians can't vote for football or I'm sure Tim Biakabatuka would still be in the league. They fill the ballot boxes with their local heroes no matter if the player is deserving or not and it makes the All-Star game a joke.

Heres more info on Carmello.

Anthony's candidacy was apparently impacted by the broken bone in his right hand that sidelined him for Denver's past 10 games and numbers that have dipped slightly to 21.1 points and 7.3 rebounds a game. Nuggets coach George Karl has said repeatedly that Anthony is doing less statistically but more overall for the Nuggets, who lead the Northwest Division and rank as one of the league's most improved teams.

I think ROY deserves it because of his latest top 10 plays, big contributions as a leader, or dunks lately. I think this impacted the west coaches decision to let him on the squad.

Carmello's doing more overall for the Nuggets by not being there. Your right Coach Karl.

This describes US fans perfectly, too.

Except we have access to as much NBA as we want and our local, is city local not an entire country.

Amazing that it was only what 2 1/2 years ago that the Draft the Stache campaign was in full effect!

I remember that! Pretty scary thought nowadays. I'm glad KP doesn't pay much (if any?) attention to such silliness.
