C'mon, he's from China!

Happens every year.

Devin Harris honestly deserves a spot on that squad. He is playing out of his mind, even though his team is pitiful.

Jackie Chan can play in the all star game.

Gilbert Arenas lol.

Has he even played this year?

He had a knee injury since last year.I think.

Just shows you, you shouldn't allow fans to vote for All Stars. Iverson's probably getting his votes from fans in the Western Conference.

But, since no one plays defense in All Star games, Iverson will fit right in.

how was he almost a star for the Thunder? Explain yourself you degenerate tard. You make me want to throw up. He is the ONLY reason this was a game and ended up winning it. Stuckey couldn't do anything, Rip couldn't do anything. Stop making yourself look stupid. Believe it or not, there are other people who know about basketball that read your idiotic posts.

I like making you mad. It's so easy it's pathetic.
