Really? He's missed a bunch of games and his team stinks and is not despite him, but because of him.

Deng is hurt but he deserves it more, although i admit i'm a Bulls fan.

I would've liked KLove over Griffin in the West, but I can't get too worked up over that; Blake's been good this year and brings what All-Star viewers want to see.

If you list this with a chart or picture, that will be better to view.
