bad move. Turk Deserved that spot sooooo much more.

anyway, i think rasheed got it because he's more of a familiar face with basketball fans and the powers that be thought it'd be financially more beneficial to put him in over someone like turk or Smith who don't have any marketing appeal. but still. from a fan's POV this is BULLSHIT.

I dissagree. I think Josh Smith has marketing appeal. Hes a former Slam Dunk champ, and I dont know anyone who doesnt like his game. Rasheeds most known stat is for leading the league in technicals every year and being a fucking prick. Those are the guys you would figure they WOULDNT be trying to push as non-deserving allstarts.

and i disagree with that. Sheed potentially blowing his top and causing drama >>>>>>anyone who wins the slam dunk contest after Vince Carter to the casual basketball fan/the nba's marketing department.

i don't like that Train of Thought either but that's business. Turk should be ont he roster before both of them as far as i'm concerned.

Lol. 'Sheed even said he didn't want to be selected. He had to cancel a family vacation to attend the game. It's a sad day when The League selects players to the All-Star Game that don't even wan to go.

Sheed's had 20 single digit scoring games this season and only 11 double digit rebounding games...This selection has to be one of the worst selections ever.
