All-Stars reserves revealed!

[AKA Coastal]

My boys Devin Harris and Jameer Nelson made it! Wohooo

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.

Re: All-Stars revealed!

Little surprised Parker made it. He missed a good amount of time

Aww man, all hell was going to break lose on this board (from me) if Joe Johnson didn't make it.
Al Jefferson

Nelson is a 3 point machine. Ya don't see that much with a PG.

Big Al got snubbed.

 

[Huffamaniac]

Big Al should have made it over Shaq, but I think most people would prefer to see Shaq in it as oppose to Jefferson

Big Al got snubbed.

Maybe Al got snubbed, maybe he didnt. I dunno, I think Shaq deserved it. Kind of a toss up IMO.

Besides that though, All Star game in Phoenix and more than likely Shaq's last shot at an all star game. It was going to happen if only played 1 game this season.

No doubt Al got snubbed, if he was on a winning team (not his fault, from Minnesota watch every game I can) he would be in. His defense is quite bad, but so is Amares. He will have his time in the future, but he still should have got in this year. BTW, look out for the Wolves in the future. If they can find a franchise PG, this team will be something special in the future. Big Al, Love and Foye is a very nice foundation.
