How does Joe Johnson keep getting the all-star nod?

[Human Error]

Congratulations Nets fans but I think there are several players who deserve more.

[jzek]

but I think there are several players who deserve more.

Like who?

[chosen_one6]

Like who?

Kyle Lowry.

[Human Error]

Like who?
Kyle Lowry, Jeff Teague, Andre Drummond etc.

[JohnFreeman]

Joe Johnson is an overpaid scrub, who will gladly go the rest of his career not giving a shit about winning.

[CelticBaller]

Drummond got snubbed by this bum :facepalm

[moe94]

Lowry snub. :facepalm

[TheMilkyBarKid]

Jj has played a large role in turning the nets season around

[Go Getter]

Cue footage of JJ putting the taps on PP.

Lance Stephenson on his way to another triple double but apparently Jeff Teague and Kyle "2 months" Lowry were the ones robbed...

You guys are deluded when it comes to your opinion on Lance

[Hotlantadude81]

I thought Teague's shooting would come around, but it hasn't. So no... He did not deserve to be there.

[Olacinco]

Becuz he the best SG in the Eastern Conference..

99.99% of the entire NBA will gladly finish their career not winning an NBA championship. I can count the players that actually care about winning a ring on one hand. That's not a good reason to hate on Joe. While Lowry did possibly deserve the nod more than Joe, let's not forgot that Lowry was literally one to three coaches away from getting the nod.

Answer me this. Do you think Stephenson could be a productive player on another team? I don't.

Holy shit, how stupid can you get:facepalm

If you truly were a real fan of the nba, and not just a casual, you would know that lowry is the 2nd best point guard in the east.

He had games of 33/7/11, 30/10, 25/13, and some other crazy games, and he is leading the TORONTO RAPTORS to the playoffs

What's with the caps and bold? What are you trying to say? :coleman:

:cheers: I like the raptors bro. Obvs, nobody had em in the playoffs before the season, especially after gay got traded, lowry just a man among boys tho in the east (along with lebron, paul george, carmelo, and john wall ofc)

[moe94]

Lowry is a beast. Probably the most underrated player in the entire league for what he is, the perfect PG.

[Embers]

Answer me this. Do you think Stephenson could be a productive player on another team? I don't.

Absolutely.

He has a completely rounded game. He rebounds better then any guard in the league. His assist rate is very high given his limited usage at times. He shoots at a decent enough level. What more do you want from him exactly?

Just because he isnt hitting 30ft 3 pointers every night doesnt mean he is not a all-star. Where I come from, rebounding-passing are actually important too

Had a great 6 weeks, but All Stars shouldnt be selected on 6 weeks of form

He was playing so badly before this run the Raptors were trying to ship him off....

You're at the bottom of the Atlantic. Cool history, though.

Why are you getting angry? I only asked a question? Stephenson flourishes with the Pacers and their offensive system and I do not believe he would play well on another team.

I didnt mean it in a angry way. Just in a provide a explanation way

I think that is just hyperbole guessing though. A bit more thought is needed. Why wont he fit in other systems. In other words, what is he so terrible at that Pacers are hiding?

He was playing bad before because of rudy gay? Do you not understand how much of a surprise the raptors are? I dont wanna look up their record before gay got traded, but it was like 10 games under .500. They went like 10-2 after the trade, and are doing great now.

Luck? No. Lowry played like an absolute beast. Its not "having a great 6 weeks", its carrying a bad team on ur back and taking em to the playoffs.

All this I agree with but that doesnt hide the fact that Lowry did not play at the required level for long enough to be considered a All-Star. If the game was to be played at the end of the year id say he will end up worthy. He is a very talented player

Based on actual output this year, he has not beat Lance Stephenson im afraid due to his as you can admit a bad start to the year

[hateraid]

I was hoping Thad would get in. Then his trade value skyrockets and claim a top notch prospect

[JohnMax]

Lebron asked for Joe Johnson. He needs someone clutch to pass to.

Drummond got snubbed by this bum :facepalm

Drummond is front court and he didn't get snubbed by anyone. Joe is the best scorer on the team that went 10-2 this January while he averaged close to 25 PPG and the clutchest player in the league, he deserved it.

[Legends66NBA7]

Joe is the best scorer on the team that went 10-2 this January while he averaged close to 25 PPG and the clutchest player in the league, he deserved it.

He did not deserve it. Everywhere I'm looking around online is how Kyle Lowry was more deserving and robbed. Lance Stephenson is also over him.

And Johnson isn't averaging anywhere close to 25ppg in January. He's averaging just over 16ppg. Maybe you meant just in the wins, but it's about the whole picture. The "clutchest player" title doesn't mean anything if his team has a losing record.

[Black and White]

I'm sorry but Lowry got robbed, Johnson is getting better but he isn't playing as good as Lowry is, hell, I would have given Al Jefferson a spot over Johnson, this is bullshit

[Human Error]

Maybe coaches see what casual fans don't see and maybe coaches are just as dumb as casual fans.

[BlackVVaves]

Yeah, there's a pretty distinct difference between 25 and 16 PPG....

:facepalm

Lowry and Stephenson both deserve the nod over him.

[RighteousMax]

Lowry did got robbed. I even rather have Jeff Green or J.r smith on there instead of Joe Johnson.

[wang4three]

Joe Johnson is an overpaid scrub, who will gladly go the rest of his career not giving a shit about winning.

Funny cause he wins us a lot of games.

Joe doesn't deserve the All-Star nod over Lowry or Lance, but the attacks on him here are egregious.

[Twiens]

Better stats
More wins
Better defence


Weird....
