I'd be scared if I were an East Allstar. Lance is kinda crazy :confusedshrug:

[RoseCity07]

LMFAO...that scrub thinks people are afraid now. He's a role player who can't accept it. Dude is not an all-star. He has so much more to prove.

[T_L_P]

He's such a bitch tbh.

It's the All-Star game :oldlol:

This dude thinks he's God

[imdaman99]

Told you all, hes Ricky Davis/JR Smith on a very talented team.

[tmacattack33]

I thought it was kinda premature for ppl to be talking about him having a chance to make it.

I guess he didn't, and he bought into it.

Dude needs to calm down.

This guy deserves a spot in the All Star Game. Bobcats vs. Pacers in the first round of the playoffs.

Al Jefferson vs. Roy Hibbert. The best center in the East vs. The best center against the Heat.

True. If he got snubbed, then that's only 1 snub. He needs to chill out.

[KungFuJoe]

Stephenson is a clown.

Yeah, he's got talent but he's only looking good because everyone else on his team is so solid that even when he ****s up and does some lame ass 1 on 5 bs and fumbles it out of bounds, it doesn't get so much notice.

[Smook A.]

I agree with Lebron23. I do think Al Jefferson deserves that All-Star spot

[ispin69]

How much will Silverman fine him?

[AintNoSunshine]

Retard

[NuggetsFan]

Now he's snubbed and gets a fine. Really tho, always snubs every year. Not even that much of a snub either.

[buddha]

Told you all, hes Ricky Davis/JR Smith on a very talented team.

He's not a chucker but he is a bonehead.

[LA_Showtime]

This is a good thing, not a bad thing. He's a competitive kid who wants to be considered among the elite. What is wrong with that? Nothing. He's obviously passionate about the game and now that he's matured a bit it's clear he's got the potential to be a very good player. Your time will come, Lance.

The only thing that's wrong with it is that he's not as good as he thinks he is. What is also wrong is that he campaigned for himself to get in the game. In the end he just made himself look pathetic. He's a nice player and a good guy to have on your team but he's not really great at anything and he doesn't deserve to be an all star this year. If you want to be considered among the elite you go out and earn it you don't campaign for it. Do your job and you'll get noticed. Spout off at the mouth about how good you are and how much you deserve to be noticed and you look like a fool. He got exactly what he earned.

[I<3NBA]

as far as snubs go, he's the least of the big time snubs. like if coaches were to pick one among the snubs, he'd be the last to be picked to get in the ASG.

[russwest0]

Good. Opposing teams want the bonehead Lance to make things personal

[Im so nba'd out]

If he really can take his game to another level on this team GOOD GAME NBA...PACERS GOT THIS SEASON WRAPPED UP.I doubt he can but if he takes each game personal like russell its just gona be unfair

[JimmyMcAdocious]

He's going to get paid this offseason and he's going go back to being mediocre.

[russwest0]

No, not at all. He's not even half as talented as Westbrook.

[Im so nba'd out]

No, not at all. He's not even half as talented as Westbrook.
Not the point if he takes each game personal like westbrook they will win the finals and its not even close.Doubt he has the same mentality so the league is safe for now he is just talking.BUT STAY TUNE MAYBE HE DOES

Westbrook >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Stephenson is the point, though.

[MellowYellow]

people are really underrating this dude. Paul George has a lot of 5-17 type nights, and this guy always picks up the slack and carries them to victory when pg is off.

I still think it's funny the best team in the league only has 1 all star yet guys like Lance Stephenson complain about not making it in

[Fresh Kid]

cuz lance iz a certified bum:coleman:

[Bandito]

The HEat have 3 all stars in the game though:confusedshrug:

[Fresh Kid]

[SHABBA]

Lance should be starting for the East.

Chances he makes it next year I imagine..

[ILLsmak]

The reason it seems like a snub is because everyone was hyping him up like... dude's gonna be an all star. If no media mentioned that, he probably wouldn't even feel he deserves to be there.

Thank you. Lance is good but he is nowhere near the player to where he can "kill" opposing defenders. He plays off momentum and excitement. Never will he hit a game winning shot torch another player for 30+.
Could he have been an all-star? Yes, but he's just an overhyped role player right now. Similar to Batum, except Batum isn't overhyped like Lance.

[DMV2]

I love Lance but he's not really an All-Star caliber player. At least not yet.

He's kinda like a Prime Artest or Prime AK-47 right now. Can do so many things but isn't special at anything in particular. Amazing rebounder for a guard, though.

Both Artest and AK were 1-time All-Stars, so Lance could be a one All-Star wonder but 1-timers aren't really considered true "All-Stars."

[RidonKs]

im not usually the type of fan attracted to the bravado and chest pumping that some guys engage in, but with stephenson... his game is so well rounded and unselfish that i can't help but by into it and enjoy it

dudes just fierce. not an allstar, agreed. but he'll definitely get there.

I really can't believe you just compared Lance Stephenson to Prime Artest and especially not to prime AK47.

[It's A VC3!!!]

I really can't believe you just compared Lance Stephenson to Prime Artest and especially not to prime AK47.
I agree. While Lance's points, rebounds and assists are VERY similar to that of a Prime AK, prime AK47 was a demolisher on BOTH ends of the court. Dude was a stat stuffer, pesky defender and a genius on the court. Lance is a momentum player and not quite AK.

AK's best season

16.5 PPG
8.1 RPG
3.1 APG
2.8 BPG
1.9 SPG

The disparity is the 3 BPG to Lance's 0 and 2 SPG to Lance's 0.

[Bibby4Three]

Shoulda been named an All-Star IMO. Dude leads the league in Trip/Dubs and is sound player.

[NumberSix]

You're clearly basing this on nothing but the fact that he's white.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

[UK2K]

So?

This is the point I made in the "Lin triple double" thread. That's his only argument and Lin gotone off the bench, cause he chased it. Stephenson gets benched when he gets close cause he'll go out of his way to get three assists in the final two minutes. So out of his way Vogel will bench him.

The __, 10, 10 trip dubs lance gets are overrated. A Rondo trip dub, THAT is impressive.

[LeGOAT]

What is he suppose to be an allstar just because of his triple doubles? Triple doubles are so over rated sometimes. All of his triple doubles he has gotten barely.

[Leftimage]

I hope this guy cusses out Lebron before the ECF - would add to an already epic premise !

This. There's a big difference between a Rondo triple double; 16 points, 20 assists, 12 rebounds, or a Lebron triple double; 38 points, 12 assists, 12 rebounds, compared to Lance Stephenson putting up 11 points, 10 asissts 10 rebounds

Stephenson trip dubs:

14,10,10
13,11,12
12,10,10
10,11,10

Lance Stephenson has made huge strides from last year, but he's still a role player.

Not a fair comparison. It wasn't uncommon for prime AK to have near quad-double nights...also 5x5s. Lance won't be having these...ever.

[Y2ktors]

Indeed.

[smoovegittar]

He can cry all the way to the finals. All skills/no brains - like half the NBA

he's like the 3rd or 4th option on the team thats why he doesn't get 30 points.......Alot of people just dont like him as a person so thats why they dont like him as a player

[ProfessorMurder]

Why the f*ck do so many people hate Lance? He's awesome, and a hell of a player.

[G-train]

Why the f*ck do so many people hate Lance? He's awesome, and a hell of a player.

He is a solid to good player.
Personally I think he will never be an all-star.

[Legends66NBA7]

"Like I said, whoever made it in front of me or whoever is in my position who people think whose in front of me, I'm definitely going to go after them,"

So that's a shot at DeMar DeRozan too.

April 4th 2014, Lance. Bring it.

[Lord Bean]

Guys, leave Lance alone. He's just a little irritated that all-around games like the one he plays aren't appreciated more. If Lebron could get in with a jack-of-all-trades kind of game, why not Lance? Why the inconsistency?

[Chuckbrook]

The reason it seems like a snub is because everyone was hyping him up like... dude's gonna be an all star. If no media mentioned that, he probably wouldn't even feel he deserves to be there.

-Smak
Exactly! He's been playing well this season, but some of these guys were giving him too much hype.

-Brook

[BoutPractice]

Wouldn't that be illegal?

[East_Stone_Ya]

taking the frustration out on a ref :rolleyes:
