Sucks for Dragic and Lowry, they really have had outstanding years... Joe Johnson doesn't deserve it, and Dragic probably should have got in over Parker or Lillard but its whatever... they must at least appreciate that a LOT of the NBA fanbase (very surprisingly) are agreeing they were snubbed.
Lowry should have gotten in over DeRozan if it came to that. Either way Joe Johnson had a worse season than Lowry. I hope Lowry gets in due to injury.
Wow. DeRozan over Lowry is like picking Tony Campbell over Magic Johnson. OK. Maybe not that bad. Let's say Keith van Horn over Jason Kidd. Too bad Rudy gay got shipped out again - he could have finally made it. As for Joe Johnson - LMFAO. Was Isaiah Rider not available? Anybody got LaBradford Smith's number? No? Von Wafer maybe? Is he sleeping on DaDakotas couch still?
More like Lowry> DeRozan > Lance > JJ. Joe Johnson has a PER of under 15. Its a travesty JJ got in above Lowry.
Joe Johnson might be the worst all-star selection in history. Anyone have a better historical reference?
Man, that is a joke especially after looking at the stats (JJ over Lowry). I think it might be safe to say that Joe Johnson is the most overrated player in the league.

Wish there was a way to break down pre-ASG averages which is more relevant, though ahahaha BJ Armstrong!
