I am disappointed Kyrie Irving got in. He doesn't deserve to be there with his team down near the bottom of the league.

Paul George is a question mark. Not sure about that one.

I am happy with the other selections.

1) this team is 20-21... they were not gonna let three players on a below .500 team go to the ASG.
2) He has been playing bad for the past week and that probably was part of why he isn't going.
3) He needs the rest and should take this break to get himself together for the next half of the season. This could possibly help him.

Paul George definatly deserves to be one, that kid has played lights out this year and stepped up massively for indiana. Deng not quite sure about PP is probs more deserving as he is averaging better numbers in less minutes. But that being said will be good for paul to just rest the bosy and hopefully be healthy after the break to bring a playoff run into the picture.

I never did like these All Star games in all sports
Bingo. Me too.

I actually find All-Star games and the contests leading up to them fairly dumb. I would ALWAYS rather have my team have no All-Stars and have the players that play for the teams I am a fan of to sit home, rest up, not risk unnecessary injury and play hard to win for their team and not for some All-Star team.

Pierce has as many All-Star appearances as John Stockton, Jason Kidd, and David Robinson at this point.  He probably cares less about being "snubbed" than his fans do.  His legacy is secure.

I feel like Paul George got in just because he has had a recent hot spell over the last 10 or so games. He has been a disaster for most of the year as the Pacers #1 option.

His defense and possession creation have been stellar.

Eh, Celtics don't deserve three All-Stars...Pierce could use the rest anyways.

Brook Lopez not making the team is pretty questionable though.
