According to a Knicks source, Curry will not be among the seven reserves named tonight to the Eastern Conference All-Star team. Fans voted for the starters while the coaches, who are prohibited from picking their own players, selected the reserves from their respective conferences.

Lee was one of the eight second-year players selected to the T-Mobile Rookie Challenge. Neither Channing Frye nor Nate Robinson was picked.

Curry, who is enjoying his finest season, still has an outside chance of making the team if any of the 12 All-Stars cannot play due to injury. NBA commissioner David Stern is responsible for selecting replacements for injured players and will pick a sub for Houston center Yao Ming.

Personally I don't think Curry deserves a spot. J. Oneal, C. Bosh and D. Howard all have had better seasons.

Curry is good on offense but basketball is played at 2 ends of the court.
And actually if you count Assists and Turnovers as offense.. Curry is not even an allstar on Offense.. Only an All-Star in Scoring.. Oh and if you count Free throws as scoring... Curry is only an All-Star in Feild Goal % and Points.

Hes not good at enough things. Is Tyson Chandler an All-Star for being a great rebounder? No.. You need to do more than one thing to be an All-Star.
Sorry Big E :(

I do however think Lee should be concidered!

Scoring happens to be the most important facet of the game though, so scorers will always get All-Star consideration. Not disagreeing that Curry needs more defense in his game, but so do many "All-Star calibre" players. For example, Michael Redd, Zack Randolph, these guys are borderline All-Stars every year despite their lack of D.

Yes Curry is invisible on Defense. But he's not alone in that camp. He IS pretty much alone in the "low-post free-up-your-teammates for open shots and score 20pts camp". So thats why he gets consideration for the team.

Redd also scores in lots of different ways though..... and Randolf rebounds.

The difference between Redd's scoring average and Curry's is the same as Curry's and Mike James.

And that's all Curry is good for.

based on what evidence?

It's probably based on the fact that if you score more points than the opponent you win. However, stopping your opponent from scoring does seem kind of important, doesn't it? I know you think so. And so do I. I wouldn't say that scoring is more important than defense. I'd say they are equal since they are pretty much two sides of the same coin.

Redd also averages 28 PPG. That's very different from 19. And his rebounding, assists, and steals are closer to average for his position than Curry's rbs, assists, and blks are. (I also think defense from a center is more important than from an SG, even though they're both important. Your center is the man in the middle.)

Heck go down the line of all-Stars who play very little to no defense: Vince Carter,Gilbert Arenas,AI(can only play the passing lane),T-Mac,Ray Allen,Melo,Etc..

All of these guys you listed are still LIGHT YEARS ahead of Curry on D. The guy could be the worst defensive center in HISTORY. Seriously

i tell you right now that eddy should be what arenas was last year: eastern conference assassin. he should be motivated and not discouraged about the snub. take it out on all of the coaches who did not vote for you and drop 30ppg.

That's like saying I failed better then you. If you fail you fail, 64 is no better then 55 or 0. If you don't play defense you don't play defense.

your crazy, this is a dumb post seriously. I'd take a "poor" defender (all of them score way more than EC and do other things more than him too) before I'd take the worlds WORST defender. What the hell kind of arguement is that? "worst ever is the same as bad" are you drunk?

And....What is your point that scoring is important or that defense doesn't matter???

All of those players score in tons of different ways, EC scores ONE way. It makes a difference. Plus those players do OTHER things like steals, rebounds, assists, ect.. EDDY CURRY DOES NOTHING BUT SCORE
