I don't understand how he wasn't considered.

Kenny, Barkley, Reggie and the TNT crew was the reason Shump is not in the Rookie-Soph game. They were killing Shump that night when he took 25+ shots.

+1,000,000

but does that surprise you the media take 1 game and run with it all the time in creating assumptions that then the average follower takes as reality

At most he should get to be in the Rookie/Soph game. All Star after 6 games is just not right.

You can't makes someone an all star based on 6 games.
Also, there will be alot of resentment that would develop among players for putting someone in the all start game based on 6 games which would be bad for Lin.

There's always the option of the 2nd vs 1st year game.
Although, honestly I think Lin could use the rest during all star weekend rather than playing another game.

Huh? What does being an all star even mean? They are voted in by fans, Lin would have half the people who follow any type of sports across the globe voting for him right now.

TKF on Melo ::....he is a punk, a jerk, a self absorbed out of shape, self aggrandizing, unprofessional, volume chucking coach killing playoff loser!!

I agree. Its a damn popularity contest and who the heck is more popular than Lin? Is this not what the fans want to see?

At this stage in the game, it's a league issue in rewarding players they feel are deserving. I'm sure Lin will be getting plenty of fan votes next season. NBA getting him on Saturday night is a fine way to capitalize on his new stardom without passing up more deserving players (this year) in the ASG.
