Barkley last night made a good point , he said when the Heat, Spurs had the best record in the association they always had 3 representatives from the team play.

I have to believe they left off Lance off because of his gyrations and after scoring theatrics that reminded them of And1 mixtapes & Rucker Park a little too much.

What do you guys think ?

JAMES DOLAN on Isiah : He's a good friend of mine and of the organization and I will continue to solicit his views. He will always have strong ties to me and the team.

Because he gives off an air of douche-dom. On talent alone, he's definitely better than Joe Johnson has been this season.

I'm w/ NardDog. He's such a DBag, but Knicks have one that seems to outdo him in that dept.

I think if Toronto wasn't in 1st (Derozan) or if the NBA didn't feel the need to have BK represented w/ Joe, Lance would be in. Moreso Johnson than Derozan.

Playa, Yeah, I agree, "Hes too black".......

Is that what your saying? Just say it then.

Then bring up the whole conspiracy thing.

Why was he really? Maybe every year some dudes get in, some don't. Then an injury happens and they get named anyway.

Likely his deletion thus far is due to his cred not solid yet. He is deserving, but every year some veteran guy always deserves ahead of the up and coming guy.

I don't think he was left off because some (stern, right?) one thinks he is too "Street".

I'd even say he deserved to be in there more than Kyrie, who is still a favorite of mine. But along with all the improvements that Lance has made, he needs to focus on getting some class when he plays. There's a difference between enjoying the game and being a dick. I don't think that Lance understands where that line is.

Even if he was left off for any of those reasons, the fact is that he represents the league and has to conduct himself better. He's suppose to be a ****ing adult and he does stuff that I stopped doing when I was 9 (yes, I had a dance everytime I scored...mostly because it was so infrequent, lol).

because no-name ballers will get skipped if it's their first year banging at a high level,

gotta string them together for that juice card, that name recognition, ya heard?

Lance is having a good year, but it's hard for me to say he was a no-brainer. Lance, Joe Jesus and Demar are all fairly close. I think Kyle Lowry fans a bigger reason to complain.

Many comments , but no one flat out addressed the Barkley point of the teams with the best record (spurs and heat) usually had 3 of their players in All-Star game, but not the Pacers with Lance Stephenson.
