Shaq will be making his 15th All-Star game appearance, no love for Al Jefferson, the true All-Star. I think that winning should not have anything to do with being an All-Star or not. It should depend on your talent and how well you maximize it. That being said, I think that Jason Terry should have been an All-Star over Tony Parker, his numbers aren't even that great. Another thing that the NBA did wrong was vote in 2, 7-foot forwards, which on many teams in the NBA would be playing center. David West also made the team, which i also have a problem with, he started in 37 games and had 7 double-doubles compared to Paul Millsap(one of the most under-rated players in the NBA) who only started 27 games an, d had an incredible 24 double-doubles. I think he had 19 in a row, which was the most in 3 years. The last problem that i have is labeling Chris Bosh as a center, this is man not a center and does not play center on his team. NBA, pick a real center next time, like David Lee, who had 34 double-doubles out of 38 games. He deserves more respect. Put your thoughts in the comments.
