Who should be in the 2010 NBA All-Star Game?

Tuesday, February 9th, 2010

seth-edward-oneal.jpgWe know the starters, now it’s time to find out who got snubbed and who should be there in Dallas.

Every year, the NBA’s midseason extravaganza snubs a few players who fans feel should be in the league’s annual celebration of the brightest stars in the NBA. The 2010 NBA All-Star Game in Dallas is no different.

Let’s start with this one guy who probably got snubbed from the All-Star game this year because of a mug you can’t market ANYWHERE. And in case you didn’t get that, I’m referring to Los Angeles Clippers center Chris Kaman.

This will be the second time the Los Angeles Clippers star got snubbed for the All-Star game. For a guy who looks like a child molester, Kaman is quickly becoming one of the brightest stars in Hollywood. The guy is averaging 20.1 points and 9.1 rebounds per game. He is arguably having the best season of any traditional center in the West and that is why the Clippers, despite all their struggles, are still hanging on for a playoff spot.

Another guy who definitely should be in the All-Star game in Dallas is Chauncey Billups. Having the All-Star game this year without Mr. Big Shot is a travesty, to say the least. He is probably the best point guard in the Western Conference at this point of the season. Hell, he should be there starting for the West instead of Steve Nash in my opinion.

But probably because of the injury that forced him to miss eight games this season, Billups failed to get the fans’ and the coaches’ votes.

”I’m sure it played a role,” Billups said, who just recently broke his career high when he led the Denver Nuggets to a win over the Lakers in Los Angeles…

Marcus Camby, one dumb Al Thornton shot away from leaving the Los Angeles Clippers for good…

Then again, isn’t everybody playing for the Clippers one game away from leaving that franchise for good anyway?

Marcus Camby, after the Nuggets traded him to the Clippers for a draft pick in the 2008-09 NBA basketball season, is still trying to cope with a broken franchise that’s virtually going nowhere.

After the first half of the season, the Los Angeles Clippers have already accumulated enough losses that would guarantee them that they’d stay the heck away from any postseason appearances this season.

Marcus CambyBut since Marcus Camby is the consummate professional, he’s still there trying to get the Clippers a few wins. And while any bona fide NBA star would just roll over and keep his ass on the injury list, waiting for the season to be over, Camby refuses to quit, no matter how futile it is.

But how long can Camby continue to play for a team that seems like has no intention of winning? A few months after joining the franchise to start the season, he’s probably the only one holding the Clippers together in the middle of yet…
