PrintI know we all kind of expected this, but there were some rumblings of Monta Ellis and Chris Kaman ... but in the end Chauncey won... even though he shoulda been on it when the reserves were announced, he finally is getting his due...
Good to see the Nuggets get 2 representatives at the All-Star game.
By the way, anyone know when they announce the 3 point shootout contestants? It's kinda boring, but i would watch if we have a Nugg in the competiition. I heard karl say he was mad about Ty Lawson not making the rookie game, Billups not making the all star team and Afflalo not in the shootout... so maybe he knows, my guess is JR has a chance to be in it.
That should be 75 words now.

Hey, in case anyone needs a good reason to watch All-Star weekend
In February 2008, Chauncey Billups participated in the Haier Shooting Stars Challenge as a member of the Detroit team.
In November of that same year, Billups was traded to Denver for Allen Iverson.
In February 2009, Arron Afflalo participated in the Haier Shooting Stars Challenge as a member of the Detroit team.
In July of that same year, Afflalo was traded to Denver for a draft pick.
So…let’s keep an eye on who Detroit sends to the Shooting Stars Challenge this year (if indeed they are participating again).
Yet another "Nugget" will now be in All-Star Weekend....
Adrian Dantley will be the head coach of the Rookie Team on All-Star Friday, his assistant coach will be Kevin Durant.
MELO!!!

Please god no
I wonder what the dude’s IQ is, I am almost positive it is abnormally low…
I don't know his BBall IQ
But I do know that in his playing career, he had an incredible knack for getting to the foul line. Seriously, there were months where he’d get 15-20 FT attempts every game.

let's cut the crap right now
screw the all star game. just by pass it and send cb1 to the hall of fame.
pick up a calf every day pretty soon you will be picking up a cow
If Karl knows his players...
He plays Melo decent minutes because Melo will want to bask in the attention and glow of the game and duel against LeBron.
But with Chauncey he doesn’t play much at all, knowing his star point guard is simply honored to be there but more concerned about saving his energy for a title run.
Denver, with the third best record in the league clearly deserves to have multiple players honored.
Congrats, Mr. Billups. You deserve it.

I don't know
Melo is questionable (AGAIN) for this game.

Melo and Chauncey should be playing minimal minutes...
That has nothing to do with their abilities I really think they could both use the rest. Ideally Karl should play Kobe every minute of the game and set him up to post up against dwight howard every time down the court…that would be hilarious….you know…if plays were actually called in th AS game and if …you know….GK ever called plays.
Karl and whoever is coaching the East should have a deal
To bring the game into like 4 or 5 overtimes. It would definitely make the front page of every major sports network, and Kobe would have to play 68-73 minutes, unless he purposely fouls himself out. But he’s not that smart.
OK, I can’t wait until Lawson sneaks into the RookieChallenge!

Chauncey should skip it
citing he has important and relevant things to worry about.
March 14, 2010: The great one returns!
Better late than never!

Eh.
Billups wasnt as major a snub as Josh Smith in the east…or David Lee. Al Horford made the team? Bleh! So that was soooo bad.
Lawson. Yes, he should be mad about that. Ty deserves it!
Afflalo? Damn, I just checked his stats. Didnt realize he was stroking it at the clip that he currently is. WOW! His slow, mechanical form has no place in that type of contest tho.
David Lee and Josh Smith
Smith has more athleticism, but David Lee is much more consistent, he’s getting over 11 rebounds per game, and he’s getting nearly 20 points per game. Smith may be better defensively, but Lee has the edge offensively.
