I think there's one BIG difference between us and the Pats, though...they now have 3 championships. So I think that THAT might be a bad comparison.Folsom Al said:

Just 1 pick would have been nice. The Spurs get 2, the Suns get 3, the Rockets get 2, the Sonics get 2, we have 2 more losses than the Sonics and we get 0. Makes no sense.

Your kidding right? You dont think Manu deserves it? He is the backbone of the best team in the league right now. Everyone praises TD but its Manu that does the dirty work both on the offensive and defensive ends. Dont get me wrong Im not a fan but the guy is good.Stojakovic said:

If a Kobe doesn't play and a King isn't picked, I will be severely disappointed.

Honestly next to BJ armstrong, Manu could have the worst stats of any player in All-Star history the last 15 years. I think Manu is a great player and the Spurs are a great team, but to snub our team to let Manu in seems kinda rash. Is he better than Webber? I hope not. 15/4/4 in 29 minutes are worse than Bobby's numbers in the 2002-2003 season when he was injured (can't remember) and wasn't on the team and we had one of the best records in the league.
You have to face that the NBA unlike other sports is stat driven, there are only a coupel things not tracked by stats, such as hustle, leadership, and I guess clutch (but that seems to be measured now as well), honestly Christie in Toronto had similar numbers to Manu this year with a couple more minutes per game but was he ever even close to being considered an all-star. I know I know, the Spurs are a great team but still. Ugh, it's just frustrating. AS game means nothing but it's a nice thing to have.

The coaches don't all sit in a room together and decide together who is going to go. They vote separately.KP said:

Enough of them didn't vote for a member of our team to make it as a reserve, They always have in the past few years.(usually 2 Webb and Peja). Enough of them didn't vote for a member of our team but voted for 3 from the suns 2 from seattle. Get it? ...wait is this a coach?uolj said:

Well, if We're Gonna Split Hairs ...
Then, I'll agree ..... it's a bad comparison.
But, that's not what I was drawing attention to .... and I guess I didn't make that perfectly clear in the remainder of my post.
So, in your analogy then .... we'd be the Seattle Seahawks or Arizona Cardinals or New Orleans Saints or Detroit Lions ... we just "plain" can't win anything.

This year there are an awful lot of talented players in the West vying for the few open slots. If none of the Kings were selected, I don't think it was a snub. I can't really argue with any of the guys who were selected to go and, as has been mentioned, I think it's quite likely Bibby will be selected to go in place of Kobe, much as Vlade filled in for Shaq one year.
I prefer to look at this as just another motivation for the Kings. Another reason for them to reach deep and prove everyone wrong. AND you cannot overlook the rest factor.
What's done is done. I think the Suns just might be on the receiving end of a little bit of venting tonight on the part of the Kings. If that does in fact happen, I may just have to send all the coaches a thank you card.
GO KINGS!!!

Funny how some of you are so pissed. Fact of the matter is, the only interesting segment in the All Star break is the slam dunk contest. I never watched any of the other stuff....well with the exception of the 3 pt shooting contest because of Peja. Asides from that, its a wash. Good for the kiddies who don't have anything better to do tho.

There is no getting around it, not having 1 player sent to the allstar game from this roster is a snub to this team.VF21 said:
Yes, the others were deserved, but that doesn't excuse the complete exclusion.
With that said I am still really happy this happened, especially if the team comes out strong tonight.

I know the game means nothing but like the All-NBA it is a nice thing to have just to show your team is getting some recongnition for playing well. It's just hard to fathom that the Suns are just 5 games ahead of us and they deserve 3 all-stars when we get 0. I guess that's just unreasonable to me.

Just for the record, I am happy that all our Kings will be able to rest and not add on to their already seemingly high risk of getting hurt. Take it another step further, I hope if one of these All-stars get injured or are unable to participate and a King is offered the spot, I hope they decline. That being said, its the principle of it all. Yes, yes, in the grander scheme of things all of this does not matter, but for the time being and for players who deserve to be recognized, it does matter. The Kings were snubbed and it is disrespectful to the Kings organization, at least in my eyes.

There could be more votes for Kings players than for any other team's borderline players and the Kings still not have a representative. Every single coach who voted could have said, "Hmmm, can't forget the Kings, they're having another great year, I'll make sure to vote for one or two of their guys," and the voting could have still turned out the way it did. It is obviously not an obvious snub.KP said:Enough of them didn't vote for a member of our team to make it as a reserve, They always have in the past few years.(usually 2 Webb and Peja).
