Flash Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 Congrats to Love. He definitely deserves to be there. Aldridge should replace Pau...he deserves it more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 (edited) WOW. And they always took the Warriors' record in account when Baron and Monta didn't make it to the all-star game. Thats just some [expletive]ing bull[expletive]. [expletive] Kevin Love, [expletive] David Stern, and [expletive] the NBA.

htown11 Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 Great news, very happy for K Love who I really think deserves to be on the team. Tough luck for Monta and LA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Feelgood Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 I'm fine with Love making the all-star team as he's one of my favorite players. Sure, I'd prefer Aldridge but Love has been playing amazing basketball. Congrats to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AboveLegit Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 Thank God, it truly would have been a travesty if he didn't make it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oliver P Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 Nice that's good for him, he deserves it indeed. Although I personally think that Aldridge would have deserved it more... It's simple basketball is first of all a collective game, a team game. So the thing that matters the most is to make your team win. Love is having a great season but, as great as he is, that doesn't make his team any better, they're even the worst team not named Cavs... While Aldridge's great season (the best of his career so far) surprisingly allows the injured Blazers to be a playoffs team in the Western Conference, which happens to be the best conference. And that is why I would have picked LaMarcus. But, as I said, Love is having a terrific season indeed and still deserves it so I'm fine with that choice nonetheless.
