Do you think Deng deserved another All-Star bid? His PER is pretty average. He's an excellent defender but his numbers are inflated by the fact that he leads the league in minutes per game.

yes, him being an All-Star since he joined Miami is a big joke.

Kobe and Dwight, lol. They should have just penciled in Iverson and Yao.

I'm not completely sure about Deng. I find it hard to see why the Bulls should have two all-stars but Noah is one for sure. Deng would have certainly been on the cusp for me but I wouldn't have been outraged if he didn't make it.
pardon my ignorance, but how were the reserves picked? Even though he's from the Sudan, Deng is a British citizen, lived there as a youth and has played for the British National team. I know the NBA is making a big push in Great Britain to expand the global franchise and help the Brits start a legitimate professional league. Wouldn't surprise me too much if that was at least a small factor.
If it were league officials instead of the coaches picking, that might play into it.

Yeah. Strange isn't it? Actually, everything we talk about are Jazz related since it's the fans of this team who are talking about them.
