    True, but I think Korver gets it because name recognition and Hawks hype.

    Vuvecic is a better player but I wana see Korver get in. This is his only chance. Vuvecic will be all star worthy his entire career

    Hoping for Korver only because I feel the Rockets chances for trading for Knight would be much more difficult if he got on the All Star team.

    Rooting for Korver because I think it would be funny.

    I really feel like people underestimate how good of a player Korver is. I'd easily take him over a player like Knight or Vucevic. Him not touching the ball is offense

    not really underestimating him, hawks already have 3 reps for them. Milwaukee has none and they have a winning record.

    Brandon Knight deserves to be there! Way more than Vuvecic

    Korver is a excellent team player. But he's not a great individual player. He's not an all star but he might be one of the best team players in the NBA right now. You need guys like him to make the right decisions, space the floor and keep the ball moving. That's why i dislike guys like Josh Smith; He's the complete opposite. He makes bad decisions, doesn't space the floor and stops the ball.

    I guess you haven't been watching Josh Smith on the Rockets recently.

    It's not like he deserved to be there anyway. On a below .500 team, and missing a lot of games, not really All-Star worthy this season. I hope Korver replaces him...very deserving IMO.

    He's had better results the last few games but my statement still holds true. Josh Smith makes poor decisions, he stops the ball when he shouldn't and he's not a floor spacer. Which part of that did you disagree with?

    I disagree with most of it.

    Yeah hes going to make a bone headed play from time to time, but overall his performance has been pretty good. Hes a great passer, the more he learns his teammates the better its become and I'm looking forward to later in the season.

    The majority of the time hes in we are playing the transition game, the ball doesnt slow at all. Hes been good at bringing the ball up and finding open people if he gets cut off.

    I'll agree when we first got him people would sag off on the 3pt line, but hes made considerable progress ever since hes joined, and teams are going to have to start to respect his shot.

    Hes been with the team a little over a month, its been a busy schedule and hes had hardly any time to practice with the team and has been playing relatively limited minutes. With Dwight out for the next 4-6 weeks and a good week off coming up I'm looking forward to some good play from Smith for the remainder of the year.

    Bucks are a playoff team, Brandon knight should get it.

    Should be Vuc in the game. He's the best of those three listed in the OP at least.
