San Antonio's Tony Parker has been selected to the Western Conference All-Star reserves, league sources tell Yahoo Sports.
Tony deserves it.....He has worked his ass off for us this year....Congrats...
because wesTObrook is injured
Tony has sucked this year. He looks like a s of himself.

Indiana's Lance Stephenson was passed over for the Eastern Conference All-Star reserves, league sources tell Yahoo Sports.
Lance is going to be pissed
Doesn't deserve it. His performance this year is a major regression from the TP we saw in 2012 and 2013. Not even a top 5 point guard this year.
lol if Dragic doesnt make it, but Lillard does.
He worked his ass off for France. Now he's whining about needing rest while on company time. Earn your paycheck, Frenchie.
Dragic didn't make it. Lillard and TP did.

Bulls center Joakim Noah will be an East All-Star reserve, source told Yahoo.
TP getting snubbed would have been ideal. It would have given him the extra rest he's been complaining about and it might have fired him up to prove the coaches wrong about not picking him. Instead, TP's being rewarded for his mediocrity.

Wizards guard John Wall will be on the NBA All-Star team, I've been told.
Marc J. Spears @SpearsNBAYahoo
No surprise, Rockets center Dwight Howard named to West All-Stars, source said.

DeMar DeRozan, I'm told, is an East All-Star. Hearing Kyle Lowry did not
Typical. I knew Parker would make it, because they feel obligated to pick a Spur and people have decided he's their undisputed (despite virtually every shred of statistical evidence suggesting that they don't have one) best player the past few seasons and I knew Duncan wouldn't, because he got off to a slow start (due to injury) and they've been desperate to proclaim him a non star for years.
If it were always based on statistical merit, I'd get it. But it's not about that, it's about politics. When Nowitzki won the championship/Finals MVP, the following season, despite a decline, he was treated like a god. Duncan didn't quite accomplish those two things, but he basically did and had a lot more credibility built up to begin with.

Also hearing Dirk Nowitzki is a Western Conference All-Star ... and Tim Duncan is not
Congrats to Frenchie tbh.
Congrats to TP…so sorry to see that the coaches who selected TP didn't recognize the brilliance of posters on ST like Johnny Ringo, etc., who know so much better than they do who should be on the team.
I don't have a problem with Parker making it, but this is horrible logic..
The same coaches that snubbed Kyle Lowry(the best PG in the Eas this seasont)..
Duncan should be in and TP out, if we're being honest.
I wouldnt have picked Dirk or Howard. I wouldve switched them for Cousins and Duncan.
