Wow....Kidd? Seriously?
Should've been Odom or Boozer. Maybe Monta Ellis at worst.
Sweet. Glad he isn't playing. Lakers' need as much rest as possible right now.
i guess 9/9 is worthy of ASG numbers at this point. What a ing joke. Monta ellis has been on a tear this season.
David Stern can go stick a cactus up his ass I don't understand why he gets to decide, just demonstrating his ruler powers i guess.
Monta Ellis is also hurt
can you even call the west all-stars anymore? its like the all-sub team
Cuban told Stern to do it.
No Kobe
No CP3
No AI
Less ballhogging
son it's exactly how Stern handles this league as a business instead of pure sports. the ASG is held in Dallas where Jason Kidd is primarily a fan favorite, which makes up enough reason to pick Kidd over any other candidate.
Even with no supportive evidence, it's still easily presumed that those "injured" all-stars are just escaping their ASG duties by feigning discomforts, or they were persuaded by stern to give up the rooms for some higher-famed players that Stern want in ASG. ASG players are choices of coaches who don't care much about the financial business, hence Stern is obliged to replace them with his own picks that he thinks can polish the show better. NBA is a show, no surprise.
So because the game is in Dallas we gotta put up with Cuban's demand to include more Mavs? Get the outta here.
Evans, Brooks, Westbrook, Gay, and even Parker as bad as he's been are more deserving guards. If the replacement couldve been any position (since Lee replaced AI out East) big men like Boozer, Landry, and Marc Gasol are also more deserving. This pick is beyond idiotic.
Kidd
no one is announcing Kidd as the most deserving one you s my mother er. It just made you equally re ed as Mark Cuban when you named the likes of Evans and Brooks as better guards than Kidd at this point of time. Dudes both currently serve on lottery crews where they have no problems jacking up shots without giving a about D.
And Im not dissing any of u Mavette fans with my post either, Im dissing Cuban himself for lobbying for this BS selection. Also Brooks is on a team that has overachieved, and has done more than was expected...sure theyve cooled off after their nice start but so have your Mavs. What are they like 4-6 their last 10? So dont act like your team is suddenly astronomically better than the Rockets. Evans is better and more deserving than Kidd as well, your a moron if you think otherwise. Being on the fringe of 20-5-5 as a rookie is impressive regardless of how bad his team is.
That is a bit of a surprise.
And a bit of a joke..
despite how impressive Evans has been, snubbing him from ASG this year is exactly a fair treat for him as Kevin Durant also wasn't selected all-star in his rookie year and even in sop re year. I'm not sure what on earth the reason is but that's exactly the way how it works. You don't have any visible reason to love the girl you love like crazy but you just do it and have to accept how it is anyways.
I really think they need to take Michael Jordan out of retirement and make him an all-star to. lol
Kidd an allstar? Monta Ellis, Aaron Brooks, Carlos Boozer, , I would consider Andrew Bynum to replace Kobe. But since there are too many centers, Monta Ellis,Aaron Brooks, or maybe even Russell Westbrook would have been good choices.
Monta Ellis is injured
Westbrook is good but he does'nt deserve the spot over Kidd. Kid can wait. however, I think other players desrves it better than Kidd. Just my $2.00
I dont actually have a problem with Evans not making it, as much as I have a problem with Kidd making it over him. If it wouldve gone to some of the other players I listed I wouldnt think too much about Evans being left out.
Still doesn't explain Aaron Brooks or even Russell Westbrook
