    In Dwight's 9 year career this is the first time he is not on the All Star team (assuming he's not picked as an injury replacement).

    Kinda sad

    Glad it happened. Hope it puts a chip on his shoulder all the way to the Finals.

    Edit: first time not picked since his 3rd year in the league

    Sorry

    Still wonder if he'll ever make it again

    This. There have been games where he played like a beast unleashed - but mostly he doesn't seem to even be trying. Between his inconsistency and the time he's missed due to injuries, I'm not sure he deserved to be an all-star this year.

    Let's hope he's back to all-star form next year.

    Getting rid of the 'Center' spot for voting hasn't helped his case either with all the talented front court pool to choose from.

    Not healthy and hasn't played well enough. Probably better he doesn't participate anyway

    He was out for almost a month. Good choice. Plus now he can rest during the AS break

    He deserves to not be there. He's still a beast when motivated.

    Don't feel Dwight deserved to be an all star but 1 percent people feeling he was snubbed shows he's not all that revered at this point. His stock has really plummeted over the last couple of years for various reasons. Now his injuries are adding to his issues.

    Even Cousins can't be selected, what else can I complain for Howard.

    I am not surprised the result at all.

    The injuries plus him having a subpar season is good enough reason for me.
