Breaking News: Kevin Love To Replace Yao Ming In All-Star Game
Kevin Love
Looks like the greatest NBA All-Star campaign of all-time worked! It’s just been announced that Kevin Love has been named by Commissioner David Stern to replace Yao Ming in the 2011 NBA All-Star Game. In case you were wondering, it’s up to Gregg Popovich to determine who replaces Yao in the starting lineup. I guess he had the Numb#rs…

Glad to see K-love make the All-Star squad. Watching him at UCLA, I didn’t think he was NBA star material. He’s undersized, unathletic, slow-footed.
Shows you what hard work-ethic and a high basketball IQ can accomplish.

Shout out to David Stern first and foremost. That was the right decision to make and a great one at that. Good job Commish!
I was disappointed to see/hear that he wasn’t originally chosen to be on the team (I believe he was too unless I was looking too much into the footage they showed when he was told the news) but I’m ecstatic for him that he will be at the All-Star showcase. Major props to K-Love for making it. Well deserved

That spot coulda went to Nene, Z-Bo or Monta Ellis but each of them has played like an all star thus far this season.
Aldridge too.

WELL DESERVED. Finally, an old school player without the fireworks and highlights that makes the All Star game. A big fuck you to ‘fans’ who votes based on a player’s Youtube views.

I was hoping Nash was the replacement. Dude was gonna attempt a dunk. But Love really deserved this selection.

@ nizzio:
Pop gets to choose the starter. I see him going with Timmy just to f with Gasol’s head, then resting Timmy like he has all season.
