Yup, I don't think Iverson, or any Piston, deserves to be an all star this season.

Who would y'all pick ahead of Sheed for backup C for the East?

Sheed wouldn't shock me but I imagine they'll go with like 4 power forwards. Howard, Garnett, Bosh, Jamison, Troy Murphy maybe.

Shit, this is harder than I thought it's be, maybe Sheed is a lock.

Stephen A. Smiff says Jameer Nelson should be an all star.

Haha. They are going to go ride space mountain in those things.

Look at Billups. Goes from an all star (or fringe all star at least) to not even close to making it (and getting out voted by Rafer Alston).

And that's after digging the Nuggets out of the crapper too.

It seems they get voted in a year or 2 after they deserve to be in and a year or 2 after their ticket to the AS game should have ended.

Jameer did it!

Jameer Nelson Appreciation Thread, anyone?

Oh, and Rashard Lewis made it too.

I'm surprised that Jesus Shuttlesworth didn't make it.
