David Lee? He should not have been taken over Josh Smith.

Well deserved.

Thank goodness. AI didn't deserve to be on that team at all.

I would've chosen Josh Smith... but Lee is more deserving than AI.

And you wonder why players don't play D anymore... because you almost never get recognized for defensive efforts.


Too many All-Stars and MVP's over the past decade that don't play a lick of defense.

I have a feeling that this whole allstar weekend is going to be a big dissapointment.

how come nobody has a problem with Amare making the all star game?

STEVE NASH?
RANDOLPH?
DIRK?

No doubt. This is why Howard gets shit on for 'only' averaging 18 - 20 PPG and nobody talks about his huge defensive numbers.

I hope SVG starts Rondo in place of Rose.

And now BagelRed is mad because DLee's market value just shot up

I agree that Lee is more deserving than AI, but this is madness. David Lee? Out of all the people, him? I would put Stephen Jackson over Lee.

To be honest, I'd rather see AI, or Shaq over DAVID LEE of all people.
