Even Shaun Livingston wasn't selected for All Star and he has whopping 5.3/2.0/1.8 points/rebounds/assists per game. And the most importantly, he plays for the GSW. Why should Lillard get selected? He doesn't even play for GSW. | ||

Cant believe Jordan made it over Gobert. Who is Conley? Does he play for GSW? I don't know about deserving more than Lillard, but if he doesn't play for GSW, he can't deserve being an All Star more than Klay. About Jordan: I don't know about you but Jordan making it over Gobert is not surprising. Jordan making it over Pachulia? That really is surprising though. After all, Pachulia plays for GSW. Also, the real Western All Star team should have been this: 30 Stephen Curry PG 28 6-3 190 35 Kevin Durant SF 28 6-9 240 23 Draymond Green PF 26 6-7 230 9 Andre Iguodala SF 33 6-6 215 15 Damian Jones C 21 7-0 245 34 Shaun Livingston PG 31 6-7 192 5 Kevon Looney SF 20 6-9 220 1 JaVale McGee C 29 7-0 270 27 Zaza Pachulia C 32 6-11 275 11 Klay Thompson SG 26 6-7 215 18 Anderson Varejao C 34 6-11 273 3 David West PF 36 6-9 250 These 12 guys are the most deserving 12 guys in the entire western conference to become all stars. Any other guys than them just don't deserve it at all. | ||

Big effort posting all that to make some stupid joke. I'm no fanboy by any means, but GS do have both the #1 offence and defense in the league as well as the best record. Yet you're whining they got their 4 best players in a conference team? It's hardly as biased/ridiculous as you're making it out to be. GS did deserve 3 to 4 spots. Portland sucks and Lillard's D is part of that. Conley maybe deserved it but he's just not flashy enough and is routinely overlooked. | ||

My bad JimmyJ I thought you were talking about my post but had not seen the tweet about D.Lillard below it. For some reason I can't view embedded tweets on my PC's Chrome (and have never fixed it). ... CP3, Lillard biggest snubs for me too. Can't wait to start calling the Warriors that  ... Cavs or other teams should really look into getting Nick Young or Lou Williams  . Lou is not that old and only gets 7m-9m next year I think. I like them both but if the Lakers get decent returns and lose 1 or 2 more games because of it, I will get over it. | ||

The season is full of flashy crossovers, dunks and assists from Klay Thompson. He's just so flashy that... I can't even finish my sentence because even thinking about it gives me seizures. The words "maybe deserved" should be used for players that are at much lower caliber than Conley or CP3. CP3 is the only reason why Clippers has got more than 20 wins this season and something similar goes for Lillard and Conley (Conley has Marc Gasol with him though). Klay deserves being an all star no more than Zach LaVine. If both went invisible the entire year, nobody would notice. | ||

In the small amounts I've seen him on LA he looks just as lazy. Furthermore, he is a career 36% shooter in the playoffs and was "meh" in last play off series. Paul Pierce knew what Lou was gonna do before he did it. | ||

The Warriors are hardly the first team to send 4 players to the All Star game. Atlanta two years ago and Detroit roughly 12-13 years ago did the same. Atlanta 2 years ago was different. East sucked so hard, if they hadn't selected 4 people from Hawks plus the coach, they wouldn't be able to fill the roster. Detroit 2006 was similar though. Pistons, despite having 4 players in the eastern team, had zero starters (I don't blame the general public, I wouldn't want to watch any players from by far the dirtiest team in the NBA either). The eastern team had Billups in it but no Jason Kidd. 2005-2006 Jason Kidd had close to triple double stats and Nets were one of the best teams in the East back then. Better than the current Celtics. Kidd was the top point guard in the NBA too. Did I mention that the game fucking sucked? | ||
