Some beefs players might have;
Mo Williams, Vince Carter, Rajon Rondo, Steve Nash, Deron Williams, Al Jefferson, & Carmelo Anthony.
IMO, Mo Williams has to be in there over Jameer. I like Jameer as much as the next guy, but Mo Williams is one of the main reasons why the Cavs are so good this year.

I would've put Jefferson and/or Carmelo in for West and maybe Gasol. I'm not complaining though. With Rudy in the dunk contest, Oden/Rudy in the rookie game, and Roy in the all-star game, I'm happy. ;D
EDIT: Also, David Lee's had a pretty good season.

I like Jameer as much as the next guy, but Mo Williams is one of the main reasons why the Cavs are so good this year. VC, AL JEFFERSON, MELO, and M. WILLIAMS all have legit beef for all-star team. OKC ARE YOU KIDDING ME ON NASH, D. WILLIAMS, RONDO. D. Williams was injured most of the year and is getting back on stride LATELY. Rondo had a GREAT 1ST 2 MONTHS but that's about it. Nash did NOTHING the entire year, just look at his numbers, it's what now 14 and 7, not the GREAT ALL-STAR NUMBERS he had under MIKE D. (shows how overrated he is.) Too ME what's more laughable is that Allen Iverson, KG, Yao, and Amare are starters in the all-star game. CP3, Kobe, TD deserves theirs, as well as Wade, Lebron, D-12. but seriously AI, KG, YAO, AND AMARE does not deserve to be all-stars. AI DID NOTHING the entire year, KG's play dropped after 27-2 run, AMARE is overrated as usual with no defense at all and fancy numbers on offense, and as for YAO (THEY SHOULD BAN CHINA FROM VOTING IN THE ALL-STAR GAME AS WELL AS ALL FOREGIN COUNTRIES.) last I check this is a AMERICAN ALL-STAR GAME, not a INTERNATIONAL all-star game. it's ridiculous that Yao Ming is a 7 time all-star when he does not deserve about 4 of them which includes this season. and what's worse is that Yi Jianlian almost beat KG for third place. I MEAN if your gonna do this in the NBA, why not do this for NFL AND MLB TOO. It's retarded the NBA gives in to the FANS because it's their games, WHEN some of the players DOES NOT DESERVE the name all-star. you already got the fans EXCITEMENT with shooting stars, skills, 3-point shooting, and the dunk competition. As well as the rookie vs sophs. game, and the celebrities game, that's MORE THEN ENOUGH EXCITEMENT FOR FANS, and they watch their SUPERSTARS play no DEFENSE in all-star game ITSELF too. so why do REAL all-stars have to get PENALIZED just because it's a SO CALLED FANS GAME. It's called an ALL-STAR GAME, not a POPULAR CONTEST GAME.

It's called an ALL-STAR GAME, not a POPULAR CONTEST GAME. I took those other names straight from all the articles. So if im crazy, so is every sports writer in America. Check the bottom of that article. sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=3870364BTW, Deron Williams is 2nd in he league in assists at 10.2. AND hes doing it without Boozer. Not sure how you don't consider him.

sports.espn.go.com/nba/players/profile?playerId=592you tell me if that's all-star numbers, if that's the case then Lamar Odom should be on the past 3 all-star teams (2006-2008) (just replace the APG with RPG.) alright you can let D-Will be a all-star but Rondo and Nash seriously. AND OF ALL THE PEOPLE YOU PICKED, YOU PICKED AN ARTICLE OF MARC STEIN. Along with Chad Ford, and John Hollinger, THEY MAKE UP THE 3 STOOGES, as in they have NO IDEA WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT. I'll take the COACHES word before some IDIOT SPORTCASTER. that's why the HOF OF BASEBALL has become a JOKE, they let these SPORTSCASTERS AND MEDIA MEMBERS WITH NO MERITS VOTE.

yeah, you know why, because you POSTED the same exact thing from other MEDIA outlets, which is pretty much the same info as what ESPN had with few twists. the only reason why NASH even got considered for an all-star game is because the SAME reason Shaq is in it, IT'S PLAYED IN PHOENIX, ARIZONA. other then that neither of these guys would have been all-stars. I watched the half-time show of the Warriors-Mavs, and Jamal Mashburn had his listed of all-stars, and even HE SAID that Shaq should not go to the all-star game. I'll take Bynum, Camby, Z-Bo, Al Jefferson, even Chris Kaman who has better stats then Shaq except for points, Andris Biedrins before I pick Shaq for the all-star game.

THE ONLY reason why Nash would even make the ALL-STAR team is because the GAME is in PHX and that's it.
