Holly MacKenzie says:
Why the early announcement for JJ? Do all of the players already know? Congrats, regardless. Could there still be hope for a Jax sighting at the ASG? Baron? Golden State needs to be represented!

TADOne says:
That is strange that he knows early. I’m guessing he was probably suppose to keep it quiet.

Dirtybird says:
I think they lied to him. I’d like to see him go but he and his team aint playing well. He must have nude photos of the coaches.

hes a bum.

Truth About It says:
Whatever. Love is love. All I’m saying is that Caron Butler and Antawn Jamison better be on that east squad.

Tarzan Cooper says:
jose!

Captain America says:
Agreed, Warriors should have Baron and probably Jax. Caron is a killer this year. Is he still injured though?

Russ Bengtson says:
They should kick him off the team for blabbing.

ends says:
TNT should sue him for screwing up the anouncement. Now how they gone keep us in suspense a whole hour before the tip off. My vote…get charles liquored up.

Damn shame Hedo should’ve made this squad, here’s hoping caron cant play

Co Co says:
The only All Star on the Hawks team this year is Josh Smith. Apparently the coaches know as little as the fans.

Poor Joe, what a cruel prank.

Jan.31 at 12:15 pm

Drewski says:
I will shed 3 tears if Baron doesn’t make it…

Jan.31 at 12:16 pm

Jeronimo says:
I’m with Tarzan here: my man Calderon should be an All-Star (and now that we’re at it, the Most Improved Player as well)

Jan.31 at 12:26 pm

Lang Whitaker says:
I’m surprised JJ made the team, not because he doesn’t play like an All-Star but because he doesn’t get calls like an All-Star should. And Coco, Smoove is my main man, but he’s not an All-Star, not yet anyway.

Jan.31 at 12:30 pm

Co Co says:
If the Hawks have an All star, it’s Josh.

Jan.31 at 12:30 pm

Co Co says:
Plus his numbers are comparable to every other forward in the East, cept Bron.

Jan.31 at 12:43 pm

Spaceship Jay says:
Yes! Joe Johnson!.. Wait, Joe Johnson? I’m…. confused. Chris Bosh should be invited, but for the halftime show. He could do his Youtube advertisement live

Jan.31 at 12:55 pm

Mike says:
Holly,
Kobe is all the representation that the Golden State needs

riggs says:
i agree with co co, but not (only) because shes fine but shes right.

Jan.31 at 1:03 pm

Co Co says:
Aw Riggs thanks.

wedemhornets says:
when and where are the rest going to be announced..the nba.com and nba.com/allstar are hush hush as is espn.com/nba and the daily dime…i am dying to know..i want my CP3 all star jersey

Jan.31 at 2:12 pm

The Best Yet says:
Jeronimo, I gotta agree and disagree with you. Yes Jose Calderon should be an all-star this year, but MIP wouldnt be accurate. Dude always puts up decent numbers. now that his minutes have more than doubled, his production has done the same.
I think MIP should go to CP3, maybe even Hedo.

Jan.31 at 2:26 pm

underdog says:
Who was the last Hawks player to made the all-star team? Dikembe? And who was the last starter from the Hawks? Dominique?

Jan.31 at 2:50 pm

Ken says:
Didn’t JJ make it last year? Nash should be a lock for reserves, and Sheed is a pretty safe bet. If Caron doesn’t make it, that would be a travesty. I hope Baron makes it, but if Paul gets in instead, that’s hard to argue with.

sjeezy says:
iono, considering the east, im not that surprised by the pick for the quiet storm, but pierce and allen are a must

Jan.31 at 4:41 pm

Kevin says:
i’d laugh if Johnson isn’t announced later.

Jan.31 at 4:47 pm

what says:
Joe should skip the game and rest his ankle. He has been stinkin it up so far in the new year.

Jan.31 at 6:43 pm

Russ Bengtson says:
Awesome that the first three Eastern guards named play for sub-.500 teams.

Jordan Hagedorn says:
I see all 10 starters for the all star game have their own shoe. Should be fun to watch

CARM3LO U ALR3DY KN3

DP says:
It’s got to be the shoes man. It’s got to be those damn shoes. play wit it.

Jan.31 at 8:18 pm

TADOne says:
Don’t know if anyone is on here and watching, but the East reserves are: JJ, Billups, Rip, Bosh, Caron, Antawn, and Pierce. So no Calderon, Allen, or Jefferson.

Jan.31 at 8:21 pm

TADOne says:
Dirk, Booz, CP3, Amare, Roy (HELL YES!), David West!!!!, and Nash for the West. So no Jax, Camby, Deron, or Parker.

Jan.31 at 8:21 pm

TADOne says:
Or B Diddy.
