ASG: Korver in for Wade

[Milbuck]

Korver is as valuable to their team as Millsap.

He is playing excellent this season.

I wouldn't call him a role player any more than Manu was in his 2 allstar seasons.

Everyone has a role, some people think bouncing the ball around 20 times at top of the key is more important than the SG's role.

I tend to disagree, when comparing Knight and Korver.

Prime Manu is a HOFer, and a bonafide franchise player on any other team with more minutes and more freedom. Korver is a high caliber role player, in the best possible situation for him. He has a skill that he is absolutely surreal in, and that skill is being harnessed to its full extent. You put Korver on a random team like the Hornets and he is completely irrelevant this year. I love the dude but we need to stop acting like he's not benefiting tremendously from his circumstances. Whereas Knight is on a team that doesn't need his skill-set whatsoever. He's a shot creating hybrid guard on a team that needs a pure, pass-first point. You put him on a team that needs his shot-creating ability, with a coach like a Rick Carlisle who can put him in the best position to succeed...Knight is an all-star. As an individual talent he deserves to be an all-star this year, and his team is winning.

Dirk has been non-factor this year.. I really don't know how the mavs have won so many games. I'm actually more surprised Tyson Chandler didn't make it..... and thats saying something haha

I don't really know either, but I'd rather have Dirk in as a career achieve award ala Duncan (I know Duncan has more impact defensively).

Someone on the Mavs should've made it though.

I'd rather have Ellis, Dirk, Zbo or even Bogut make it over Korver.

Korver over B.Knight of the Bucks

This is why I haven't watched an All-Star game in over 10 years....

It's never right.

Jimmy Butler might not play. If he's out it has to go to Knight.

Though if any Buck gets it, it should be Giannis for actual impact..but as long as one Buck gets in

[no pun intended]

Holy shit lol. Anybody know who the oldest all-star to get their first ever nod? Dude is like 34 this year.

"Korver, who turns 34 next month, is the fourth-oldest player to make his first All-Star appearance, behind Nat "Sweetwater" Clifton (34 years, 3 months in 1957), Sam Cassell (34 years, 2 months in 2004), and Anthony Mason (34 years, 2 months in 2001)."

kevin love 17/10
michael carter-williams 15/7/6
Nikola Vucevic 20/11



kyle korver 13/4/2




its ok for cousins to get in over draymond green but not for vucevic to get in over korver

Kevin Love has made little (positive) impact on his team.

[Hotlantadude81]

If Lebron can get his Cavs past this ultra stacked Hawks team he automatically jumps into the top 3 All time.

Calling the Hawks "stacked" is silly. None of these 4 guys would be all stars in the west.

[Hotlantadude81]

Jimmy Butler might not play. If he's out it has to go to Knight.

Though if any Buck gets it, it should be Giannis for actual impact..but as long as one Buck gets in

Butler is out also?

Damn... Today's players are FRAIL.

[dunksby]

The worst AS line up ever?

[tomtucker]

LeBron def going to be keeping a out eye for him wonder if he will bring his talents to cleveland after getting a taste of that bron ball.Kyle Korver playing in this all-star game may be the worst thing that could ever happen to the hawks

.
Just remember Lebron is the king, and the coach
.

you give the ball to me !

[JohnFreeman]

Korver is a great choice. One of the most impactful players in the NBA

[Prime_Shaq]

I don't really know either, but I'd rather have Dirk in as a career achieve award ala Duncan (I know Duncan has more impact defensively).

Conferences though

[tomtucker]

but the all star game is a show for the fans....what "fun" stuff can 3 point experts like him and the others bring ?.......but then again, we also have cousins in there........not really known for being a jolly fellow !

[El Kabong]

No clue where you are trying to take this post but ok

He's saying role players on very good teams have made the All-Star team in previous years. Korver making it as an injury replacement is hardly an indictment on the quality of the NBA currently.

[AirFederer]

Do you understand how many easy looks that Korver's gravity have created for his teammates? When you can't leave a guy safely and you have to chase him around constantly and be ready for his quick-as-lightning release, you can't play functional help defense.

Don`t expect them to understand...
