NBA All-Stars

With the NBA All-Star reserves announced, lets look at how I did. My predictions (bold on correct picks):

West
G Brandon Roy
G Steve Nash
G Chauncey Billups
F Dirk Nowitzki
F Pau Gasol
F Kevin Durant
C Al Jefferson

I missed on a whopping 3 picks in the West. Tony Parker, David West, and Shaquille O'Neal will play in the game. I dont think any of the 3 belong there. I will start with Shaq. I know he is an all-time great and playing better this year, but he isn't a better player than Al Jefferson right now. I believe this is the biggest snub of any because it also keeps Nash off the team. The game is in Phoenix and their best player and 2 time MVP wont be playing. The NBA should be ashamed of itself. While I dont have a big problem with Parker being selected ahead of Nash, there is no way the Suns were getting 3 players and Shaq bumps Nash. Also, David West over Kevin Durant is an absolute travesty. Durant is a much better player, he just doesn't have Chris Paul on his team. This one is baffling. I understand winning matters, but Durant vs West is a slam dunk.

East
G Devin Harris
G Danny Granger
G Joe Johnson
F Chris Bosh
F Paul Pierce
F Rashard Lewis
C David Lee

My only miss was the coaches selecting Jameer Nelson over David Lee. They put Chris Bosh at C which left David Lee off the team. I am not a fan of this choice. I think there are other players that deserve it more than Nelson. In fact, I would have chosen Ray Allen, Mo Williams, Derrick Rose or Rajon Rondo over Nelson. Not sure how the Magic got 3 players (most of any team in NBA).
