The 2008 All Star reserves were announced tonight.
EAST
G - Chauncey Billups, Joe Johnson, Richard Hamilton
F - Caron Butler, Antawn Jamison, Paul Pierce
C - Chris Bosh
WEST
G - Chris Paul, Steve Nash, Brandon Roy
F - Carlos Boozer, Dirk Nowitzki, David West
C - Amare Stoudemire
What I think: In the East guards I really don't think Hamilton should be in there. If Gilbert Arenas wasn't hurt then I would say him for sure. Guys like Vince Carter, Michael Redd, Jose Calderon, Jason Richardson, Mo Williams, and even Jamaal Tinsley put up better numbers than Hamilton. I think if you have him there you would have to talk about Jamal Crawford and Andre Miller. The East forwards look fine, Gerald Wallace and Josh Smith could have been in as well but there just aren't enough spots. The East centers are good as they are. In the West I don't think Roy should be in, sure he is a good player but what about Tracy McGrady. THE BIGGEST SNUB OF ALL IS Baron Davis ! HE SHOULD BE STARTING AND HE IS NOT EVEN IN ! The West forwards are okay but mbe Al Jefferson instead of West. The centers are fine but Chris Kaman could also have made it if there was room. Come on NBA where is Baron Davis? Seriously.
