yup he is qualified that is why he is also playing for the rookies in the all star game. Though for me he deserves a slot in the real main event together with Kevin Love...
Agree 100%. Although he's eligible for the rookie team, Blake Griffin should be selected to play in the All-Star game. And while we're on the topic, how about your picks for the All-Star game next month? Based on the returns so far, it looks like the starters have been chosen (except for the PG position in the East):
West: Bryant (G), CPaul (G), Durant (F), Anthony (F), Yao (C)
East: Wade (G), DRose (G), James (F), Stoudemire (F), Howard (C)
For the reserves (1 Center, 2 Forwards, 2 Guards, and 2 Utilities), my selection would be:
West:
C - Gasol (goes to starting five for Yao)
F - Nowitzki
F - Griffin
G - Nash
G - Westbrook
U - Love
U - Ginobili
* - Ellis (for Yao's slot)
East:
C - Horford
F - Garnett
F - Pierce
G - Rondo
G - JJohnson
U - Bosh
U - Felton
Hmm.. lots of good players are going to be left out in the West. But in the East, ang hirap naman pumili ng deserving!
