    2015 All-Star Game Rosters & Biggest Snubs

    The 2015 NBA All-Star game rosters are set, with the Atlanta Hawks sending three players to the Eastern team, more than anyone else in the league, with Jimmy Butler of the Chicago Bulls, Kyle Lowry of the Toronto Raptors, Jeff Teague (Hawks) and Klay Thompson of the Golden State Warriors all making their first appearance in the best exhibition game North American sports leagues have to offer.

    The votes have been cast and counted for the 2015 All-Star game, with Stephen Curry getting more than anyone else in the league, even more than LeBron James. Two brothers, Pau and Marc Gasol were chosen to start, but on different sides of the court, which is a first in the NBA.

  • Kobe Bryant – East All Star Team Kryptonite

    Kobe Bryant – East All Star Team Kryptonite

    It should have been quite obvious to everyone – Kobe Bryant not playing in the All-Star game (although he was voted to start) meant the West were going to lose, no matter how good the other players filling in for him were going to be.

  • The 2014 NBA All-Star Game Players

    The reserves to the 2014 NBA All-Star games have been named by the coaches, as players like John Wall, Chris Bosh and Roy Hibbert are joining the starters in the East while LaMarcus Aldridge, Dwight Howard and James Harden will be the big names on the bench in the Western conference.

    NBA All-Star Game Outcome Doesn’t Change

    The West don’t always have the better starting lineup, but they usually have the much deeper team (and conference), which explains why they’ve beaten the East three times in a row in the NBA All-Star game, as Chris Paul dominated the start and finish, beating the too serious Kevin Durant for the MVP award, while LeBron James seemed to be trying a bit too hard to make this one mean something.

  • 2013 NBA All-Star Game Starters

    No new faces in the starting lineup of the 2013 NBA All-Star game, that will take place on February 17 at the Toyota Center in Houston.

  • Your Deserving and Undeserving 2012 NBA All-Star Starters and Reserves

    The NBA All-Star doesn’t feel exactly right to some, but a 66 game NBA season is still longer than what we had in 1999, which makes it possible to squeeze it in. After announcing the starters, most of them deserving except for Carmelo Anthony and Blake Griffin, the guys on the bench got their names called up this week.

  • LeBron James and Dirk Nowitzki – Who is More Deserving of the NBA Title?

    Someone is leaving the list. With Derrick Rose joining the elite few who have won MVP’s but never a title (he still has plenty of time to get out of it), Dirk Nowitzki or LeBron James will be getting their names chalked off when the 2011 NBA Finals series is over. But who deserves it more?
