looks good to me...glad to see Granger made it
Shaquille O’Neal will make his return to the NBA’s All-Star Game on Feb. 15 in Phoenix, multiple front office sources told Yahoo! Sports on Thursday afternoon.
O’Neal, 36, was one of seven Western reserves chosen by the NBA’s coaches, and will play in the All-Star Game for the hometown Suns. O’Neal had played in 14 consecutive All-Star Games until missing out in 2008.
Yahoo! Sports obtained the rosters, and the West reserves also include the Los Angeles Lakers’ Pau Gasol, New Orleans Hornets’ David West, Dallas Mavericks’ Dirk Nowitzki, San Antonio Spurs’ Tony Parker, Denver Nuggets’ Chauncey Billups and Portland Trail Blazers’ Brandon Roy.
The East reserves include two Orlando Magic, Jameer Nelson and Rashard Lewis. East coaches also chose the Boston Celtics’ Paul Pierce, Atlanta Hawks’ Joe Johnson, Toronto Raptors’ Chris Bosh, New Jersey Nets’ Devin Harris and Indiana Pacers’ Danny Granger.
The Magic will have three All-Stars in the game, including starting center Dwight Howard, who received the most fan votes of any player. The East-leading Cleveland Cavaliers will have just one, LeBron James. Among the notable misses on the East’s roster: the Cavs’ Mo Williams, and Boston’s Rajon Rondo and Ray Allen.
As for the West, Minnesota’s Al Jefferson was left off the roster. Also, Steve Nash will miss his first All-Star game in five years.
The NBA will officially name the reserves on TNT at 7 p.m. ET on Thursday.

Congrats to Parker. Three All-Star games puts him in some elite company in San Antonio.
Good for Tony. I'm sure that Tim and Tony will have fun in Phoenix. Maybe Manu can go and play in one of those compe ions.
Hopefully Tony destroys Nash tonight and proves the point of leaving Nash off
Good choices
rondo is not an all star
Good for TP
Yea! He'll be easier to trade now!
at least no snaq oatmeal this year.....
wait he do something to get the medias attention.....
Nash hater?Good for Tony. I'm sure that Tim and Tony will have fun in Phoenix. Maybe Manu can go and play in one of those compe ions.
Hopefully Tony destroys Nash tonight and proves the point of leaving Nash off
No Nash....... awwww yeah.
Al Jefferson has a case to make it over David West and Jameer Nelson's season has been pretty flukish but the rest of the names look good.
looks good except West instead of Jefferson

Mo Williams should have gotten in over Jameer Nelson...
Congrats TP ! now we can trade him for calderon
Duncan
Robinson
Gervin
Robertson
Parker
As an aside, the Spurs also have a curious historical trend involving their All-Star players. By my count, only one player in Spurs history (to this point) has made one and only one NBA All-Star team; everyone else who's been an NBA All-Star has made at least 2 appearances:
11 - Duncan
10 - Robinson
9 - Gervin
3 - Robertson
3 - Parker
2 - Kenon
2 - Gilmore
2 - Elliott
1 - Ginobili
I cannot believe West made it. He has had a very mediocre year, and that is putting it nicely. Al Jefferson and Millsap belong over him. I also cannot believe that Ray Allen is not on the list, he has had an incredible year.
All NBA>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>All Star
rashard lewis? really?
I assumend Tony was in so I am pleased to see Danny Granger and Chris Bosh on the list.
kobe, shaq and PJ on the same team
kobe and shaq team mates again!
LOL @ no Nash

I'm not sure that West has been mediocre, but his selection over Jefferson is hard to understand as anything other than a product of: (1) being on a better team; or (2) being a carryover from last year.
LOL @ David West over Al Jefferson..
LOL @ Orlando having 3 all-stars..
Jameer Nelson is putting up good numbers, but he's not an all-star player..Vince Carter or Ray Allen should have made it ahead of him..
I don't have a problem with anything else..
