Someone please explain to me how Monta Ellis is not an allstar.

Guy averages 25 pts, 3.5 boards, and 5.5 assists.
And at this point of the year, they have almost as many wins as they did all of last season.

Someone please remove Gasol's hairy ass and Yao off that roster.

Yao's not on the roster fwiw, he got replaced by Kevin Love.

But I absolutely agree, someone needs to be bumped. Dude's the 5th-leading scorer in the NBA, he should probably start ffs.

because the west is stacked and there aren't enough spots to go around

You can't just say he should be bumped, and then not say for who (I know op said gasol, so this is more directed at the other posts)

I agree

I say keep Gasol and then the only other player I think could be considered is Manu, who I'm not bumping, so I think the team is perfect.

He is all-star caliber thats for sure. But look at the Guards in the West. Literally every team in the top 10 has an all-star caliber Guard.

montas actually been OK this year, hes still a bum tho
lamarcus is clearly more deserving as well

pretty far from a bum, WArriors are only like 4-5 games out out of the playoffs too. Considering how shitty Ginobli has played the past month Ellis def should be in over him.

decent player/ athelete/ but allstar? Not in the west

Babbbbby cuz i'm a thug. Decent player?? Not all-star caliber? What do you base this on? If you had ever watched the guy play u might realize how ridiculous it is to say this crap. LOL @ decent. Monta is a stone cold beasssst on offense.

There is no way Odom or Gasol is >>>>> over Ellis. At least not this year. Monta is clearly the go to guy of a very young team, and they are only getting better and putting up a challenge every nite. The FAKERS on the other hand are heading in the wrong direction. Odom and Gasol CAN NOT carry a team, and they are clearly not making the team better.

And like someone mentioned earlier LaMarcus should also be in. There is absolutely no reason Gasol is on there before LaMarcus and Ellis.

Yes there is. It's because Gasol is absolutely critical to the Lakers being 38-17 and being the defending NBA Champions. He carried the Lakers on his back for the first couple months of the season. As Gasol goes, so go the LA Lakers. Ellis is great, but come on. Put the homer glasses down. He would easily be an All-Star in the East; it just so happens that the West is LOADED. It's no disrespect to Ellis. Don't be butthurt.

Ellis is fantastic, but he isn't even one of the first two guys you'd put on the roster.

LaMarcus Aldridge deserves to be on ahead of Monta, and so does Zach Randolph. After those two guys, you can start talking Monta. He's a ridiculous player and would obviously coast onto the East All-stars, but this is the West.

In the NBA All-Star thread, I've been pulling hair out trying to figure out how to get these guys on the team. It's just not possible.

Agree

Did you seriously say that Odom and Gasol don't make the team better? Level?

Obvious Laker hater. He's having great year but to say Monte>Gasol is just beyond absurd. Plus they play different positions and Gasol only averages 2 less assists a game as a PF/Center. Gasol could easily have 25 points a game but he has to wait for Kobe to pass it to him and the Black Mamba doesn't always like to pass. Throw in 10+ rebounds a game plus 2 blocks and it's not even close who is the better player on a team going for its 3rd ring in a row and not fighting for an eighth seed.
