    Thank God, I would have been pissed if Nash was picked per Yahoo Sports.

    It's the right choice,but why does Stern get to make the move? It should be the coaches instead.

    So punish Kevin Love because his team sucks?

    Good move by Stern, if Kevin Love is not picked, it sends a VERY bad message to rookies coming to the NBA. If you play for a bad team, even if you work hard, you won't be rewarded. It further encourages all rookies to leave bad teams as soon as they can, and we can a situation where the worse teams in the league will never have a decent chance to gain prominence.

    Kevin Love is putting up numbers nobody in the league has put up in 30 years.

    He deserves it.

    I wonder how many people who are okay with this actually watch Love play, rather than just looking at box scores. He's a guy who sacrifices defense for rebounds. Stern rewarding that, is just disgusting in my mind.
