So they did name Griffin to the All Star squad, bit of a shock as they don't usually like rookies for the game, but not really that big. Who do they name to replace Yao? My thoughts are it should be LaMarcus Aldridge over Zach Randolph, only because of winning (slide Gasol into the starting C spot). Sorry Kevin Love, but a team that bad should not have an all star, unless your numbers are Jordanesque, and yours are not. How does Tim Duncan still get a spot as well?
Last thought, the west's reserves are pretty old if you take out Griffin, Williams and Westbrook, and I can't imagine that any of the older guys want to play too many minutes, or Kobe for that matter either. So do the young guns on the west play a lot? Particularly Griffin as the west is pretty old at the forward/centre spot? Any thoughts he could get the all star MVP?
