Worst Players in the NBA All-Star Game
Sunday, February 10th, 2008The NBA All-Star Game is a time to celebrate the best players in the NBA. Fans gather around their television sets and watch in amazement as their favorite players put on a show. However, here at Steamy Sports, we look at all angles of sports. With that in mind, I present to you the top five worst players in the NBA All-Star game.
5) Brandon Roy, Portland Trail Blazers
Don’t get me wrong, Brandon Roy is a very good player. He’s no doubt the best player from his class. But an All-Star? No way. You’re telling me that you’d rather have Roy on your team right now instead of Baron Davis, Josh Howard or Manu Ginobili? Didn’t think so.
4) Dwyane Wade, Miami Heat
Do fans actually watch the NBA before casting their vote? Dwyane Wade plays for the worst team in the league. He missed the beginning of the season due to multiple injuries. To top it off, Wade isn’t even playing up to par since he’s returned. He’s a shell of his former self right now.
3) David West, New Orleans Hornets
Since the game is in New Orleans, Chris Paul making the team makes sense. But David West? Huh? West is a solid up-and-coming ballplayer but he hasn’t done enough this season or in his career to get an All-Star nod. He’s an injury-prone player off to a hot start. Wake me up when he does anything of note in his career.
2) Joe Johnson, Atlanta Hawks
Sending Joe Johnson to the All-Star game just sends the wrong message to basketball players everywhere. Johnson is the guy who left the winning Phoenix Suns because he wanted his own team. Now that he has his own team, his team sucks. And it has sucked for years.
1) Jason Kidd, New Jersey Nets
I’m convinced that Jason Kidd just plays basketball now to try to get triple-doubles. The days of him actually carrying the Nets to victories are over. He doesn’t even make players around him that much better anymore. Defense? He doesn’t do that either these days. Kidd is basically just moping until he’s traded. No way he should be on an All-Star team.
