YES!!!!

[SWedd523]

If that's the case, Jack was far more deserving than Pierce and Rose

[bozzy]

If that's the case, Jack was far more deserving than Pierce and Rose

They were only going to select one player from the Bobcats. So they got it right imho.

[CatNation]

congrats to our first EVER all-star. and many more to come hopefully :biggrin:

this warrants an avatar change

[CarolinaBlue704]

YES! :biggrin:

Cant think of anyone more deserving.

[Scottley Crue]

G..G..G..G..G...GERRRRRRRRRRRRRRALD WALLACE...wallace...wallace!!

[DCW]

congrats on my man makin the squad

[Toocool]

Crash has finally been recognized by the league as a star player. Congratz to Crash!!!!

Woot!

[ND22]

An historic moment for the Bobcats!!! Congrats Gerald, now go dunk on somebody in the All-Star game!

[ammofan]

G..G..G..G..G...GERRRRRRRRRRRRRRALD WALLACE...wallace...wallace!!

YEA! hahahahaha


Can't believe we finally have an All Star!

[Felton for Prez]

Phew. I admit, I was nervous.

[chabber]

Gerald Wallce, All Star.

Has a nice ring to it.

[Dlpz87]

FINALLY! FINALLY!

This dude has been so deserving of making the starting roster this year...Pierce? I agree that Jax should've gotten the nod over him. But we'll take what we can get!

[SCBobcat]

Hooray for Gerald.
Also, I predict a meltdown from Josh Smith, who you know expected to make it over his teammate Al Horford. Not all is right in paradise.

[dav7z]

I have been looking and hopeing all day. Congrats to THE MAN G Walace. Long passed due. All the hard work is finaly starting to pay off.
Jax made a good case for his self and Charlotte all so . I know we was lucky to get Wallace but in my mind Charlotte has two ALL STARS.

[spectre]

Wallace Bobcats' first All-Star (http://blogs.charlotte.com/inside_the_nba/2010/01/wallace-bobcats-first-allstar.html)

Bonnell says he's confirmed it.

[teej]

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Gotta say, Smoove and D.Lee got the shaft for sure, and I would've had Jax over Rose, but one plays in Chicago, the other Charlotte.

At least Randolph made it.

But none of that really matters, because the Bobcats got an All Star! Woot!

So, is he still doing the dunk contest?

[Slam]

Phew. I admit, I was nervous.
Me too. Thought he'd be stiffed because we are who we are.

SO happy to be wrong!

[LadyCats Rule]

Wooooooooohoooooooooooooo!

First year to have an All-Star.

First year to make the playoffs.

[LiquidWayno]

There is always someone who doesn't play because of injury....Pierce, Garnett or Iverson are all guys who could possibly sit out. Horford was a surprise pick to me.

[polarcat]

Agreed that there is no player more deserving of an all-star nod. Congrats to Wallace and the NBA powers that be for not f'ing this selection up.
:clapping:

[WarioVsMooChicken]

Heck yea, FINALLY!

I was nervous because his rebound numbers have been dropping, and we often get snubbed.

[Ghost Kat]

I'd like to thank all my family and friends for believing in me believing in Gerald Wallace.

2010 is the year of the Bobcat

[x2pacalypse]

im so excited, but looking back on it you can thank all the people who voted allen iverson for jax not getting a spot

[Dcarnys]

:yeah: Alright Crash. Wasn't able to get on so I didn't hear about this untill now. Congrats Gerald, You deserve every bit of this.

[BETCATS]

He earned it. Its about damm time they gave us some respect.

Woot another Jersey to buy, get autographed, and hang on my wall...

[truDUKEfan]

Man thats the best news i've heard as a bobcats fan yet, thank god that the NBA is stating to pay us some attention b/c man if GW didnt make it.... WTF would this world be coming to lol

[ziggy]

im so excited, but looking back on it you can thank all the people who voted allen iverson for jax not getting a spot

I'm hoping that the public shames A.I. into not playing and Jax finds his way into the All-Star game. Having 2 Cats in the game would be amazing ( I'm greedy :biggrin: )

[bozzy]

Josh Smith would get in before Jax. AI isn't dropping out anyways though.

[jiff65]

Far as I'm concerned, he's been an All-Star since the first day he put on the Bobcats uniform. On those down nights for the team, he was worth the price of admission!

[Chrystos]

I never thought I would see the day when a player of the Bobcats became a all star. :)

[Muttley]

F************* YEAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No one works harder.

[Marvel]

YEEEEEHAAAAARRRRR Gerald Wallace the 1st Bobcat to be named an All Star i do feel S-Jax deserves a spot as much as Wallace does though...but we got an All Star baby

[TheBeagle]

No smugness at all intended, but today's news was just a formality: it was obvious GW was getting in starting a couple weeks ago when any and every talking head (and blogger and such) was throwing their hat in the "Gerald for All Star" ring. And if the media is going to the rack for GW, the same media that often if not exclusively ignores us is touting GW, then you know guys in the league think even more highly of him; at least that was my logic in not even fearing today that he might not be named.

Now that it is official however, it's absolutely surreal. It just feels so......weird. Very similar to dnb's "How to deal with success" thread, but even moreso. I mean, disregard the politicking and commercialism and superficiality of the event, it's still a huge deal to be named an NBA All Star, as opposed to the Pro Bowl and to a lesser extent the MLB. And to be able to have our humble team have the man that has epitomized Bobcats ball for nearly six years now represent us in such a showcase is just :o to me now that the reality has set it in.

From an overall franchise view, this has to be the biggest day in franchise history (aside from the day it was officially announced we'd get a new team), and like I said earlier, I'm just stoked it was GW who got it first!!!

It's not humanly possible to be more proud of Gerald for this accomplishment!

[gforce33]

F************* yeaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jam]

thank God!yes.....gw all star woooooooooooooooooooohooooooooooooooooooooo,,,,

[jdsingar]

Hooray GW! Seriously though, how did Al Horford get in over Josh Smith? He should probably be in there over Joe Johnson as well.

[Scottley Crue]

This is a tremendous accomplishment for Gerald and the orginization. Although I do believe Jack was also deserving of a spot, I am thrilled beyond words that it's Gerald that gets the honor of being the first All-Star for the Bobcats. Watching Gerald develop from the freakishly athletic guy with potential to the do-it-all professional who put in the time, effort and dedication to realize his potential has been nothing but a great pleasure.

While I am proud to have our city represented in the All-Star game, I am infinitely more proud that it is Gerald who is our representative. For the original Bobcat to have been through the bad (early expansion years) and the ugly (Ham Biscuit's tenure), it's a real joy to see him get to experience the good in his and the franchise's first All-Star bid.

Now the All-Star bid is settled, let's work on becoming the franchie's first dunk contest winner. I mean, while he's there and all...

[SWedd523]

Do we have any guys on the team that have EVER been an All Star? Moreover, has there EVER been any former players to be named as an All Star?

[BETCATS]

I am guessing Steve Smith has been at one point or another.

[spectre]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Smith_%28basketball%29#NBA_career

That's a good guess, but wiki isn't showing anything about the ASW.

I think Crash is the first (as he should be).

[WarioVsMooChicken]

Juwan Howard?

[SWedd523]

Ahh yes Juwan was an All Star! I forgot all about him. Is there anybody else?

[spectre]

Juwan Howard?


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juwan_Howard


Awards:

NBA All-Star (1996)
All-NBA (1996)
All-Rookie(1995)
All-American (1994)

There ya go!

[WarioVsMooChicken]

Stephen Jackson has to be one of the best players ever to not have been an allstar atleast once.

(Although i think he was a CBA all star at one point. THAT COUNTS FOR SOMETHING, RIGHT?!)

[WarioVsMooChicken]

I just looked it up. Steve Smith was in the 1998 all star game.

[SWedd523]

So thats two: Steve Smitih and Juwan Howard--do we have anybody else?

[DJ_Tet]

First post here,

Long time Bobcat fan, and Hornet fan before that. I'm so happy for Gerald Wallace. Watching him develop into the player we all knew he could be has been great, and I'm glad to see that rewarded with an All-Star berth.

Welcome to BCP!

I think everyone who has ever seen GW play knows he deserves this, except maybe the former Front Office in Sac-town :biggrin:
