Now, Shaquille O'Neal over half the league Richard Hamilton?

I definitely think mek got robbed. Next year I say we create a post to lobby for mek!

We should line up trucks and get him voted in.

while emeka is having a fine season, he is going to have to improve upon his points per game to be an all star. and everyone who made it was just as deserving as emeka was. obviously i'm disappointed he didn't get in, but there are snubs in everya all star game

[Slam]

I have no problem with Butler making it at all but:

EO50 >>>>> Shaq (this year as Shaq has played all of 6 frigging games)
and
Joe Johnson >>>>> Rip Hamilton

Teams records should not be a factor when deciding All Stars.

Team records are used for deciding playoff teams.

S. Oneal six games yes just six games with 12 pts and 6.5 rebounds WOW. Butler and J. Oneal , numbers are close but i think Okafor is a better enforcer than either one of the other two.
J Kidd is just a joke on the teade block to old and to slow. Even Felton leaves him standing in his tracks. Who would you take Rip or Crash. JJ got screwed to. After looking at the ALL STARS its just a big popularty contest . And it cant do nothing but hurt the sport in the long run.
BLOCKAFOR and WALLACE after seeing the trash they took. Its no way you two are not ALL STARS.

Repped for that post Slam.

And MVP, all STAR is the collection of the best players in the league. Joe Johnson >>>>>>> Rip hamilton, yes.

I'm sorry, but I can't agree with the statement of him being a joke. A player that averages nearly a triple double deserves to make the team, regardless of anything else.

I had read some where his numbers was at a all time low . In all the trade romors about him. So i went back and checked his stats .They are up over his carer stats by a little. Bumpus you right my bad.

I dont care about the regular All Star game anymore due to it being a popularity contest nowadays.

If you dont believe me, like bigslam said, shaq has played less than 10 games, 6!!! and he gets the 2nd most votes out of every other player from east and west.

amazing. Next year if we get a better coach and MJ trains with Okafor more, he'll get in for sure
