    How the hell did Norris Cole get in this game. I don't mean to repeat Bill Worrell, but Chandler Parsons and Klay Thompson are much more deserving to go. (Pekovic is good too, but I think they wanted to add another rookie.)

    Norris Cole has been pretty good so far. Why is this in the GARM?

    They added too many PGs. I like your suggestion for Pekovic or Parsons to balance out the teams.

    Norris Cole has been pretty solid. Doesn't contribute as much to the Heat as Parsons to the Rockets but still

    More name recognition, that's all they want is people to watch. They don't care about the level of play.

    Because Stern wanted to add Jeremy Lin but really can't just one person so he had to throw Cole in

    Sorry but this is an exhibition game... they don't want to watch Parsons bricking shots... it is not a regular game. If it were, Parsons all the way.

    Maybe because the NBA really did let Smith pick the players and most of the game they watch are Maimi Heat games.
