there hasn't been enough. the hornets are a tankable team without him. Michael Jordan loves him. A Deadspin and Bleacher Report article is nice, but he really deserves an all-star nod this year. Way over IT or Wall.

IT leads EC PGs in USG and has the lowest TO% of the Thomas, Walker, Kyrie, Lowry and Wall group. I love Kemba but I'm not sure he deserves it more than IT.
Personally I think all of the above deserve a spot besides Wall, but one of them (sadly most likely Kemba) will probably have to be snubbed because of worse SGs like Wade making it.

Garbage time. He essentially iced game prior with made 3's and assist to MKG.

I think IT is behind wall and walker just due to the metrics that include defense. They are all pretty close though, all mushed between maybe the 15th-20th best players in the League. Wall's team isn't far too out of the playoff picture either.

Don't forget about D-Rose. He's going to take votes away also.

He might make it if Charlotte can keep winning. If they are the third best team in the east and a division leader, it's tough to give them zero all stars.
If he doesn't make it - the desperation 3 from Foye going in and Kembas barely rattling out a few weeks ago could be the difference. Switch those two shots and they are 21-12 now.

IT just dropped 52 points on 26 shots, including a Celtics record 29 points in the 4th quarter. He's also first or second in the NBA in 4th quarter scoring.
The IT haters on this board may want to take a few weeks off.

IT can score, he's a better scorer than wall lowry or walker. his problem is defense, still think walker and wall have him beat there. Those four guys are elite pgs though, all nba level guys. no need to split hairs off a media/fan vote.

Oh, I'm not talking about the ASG - I'm referring to the posters on here who cry about Kemba being underrated (he still is nationally) but then turn around and say IT is overrated (he's not).
They're both terrific players who are worthy of an ASG nod.

Your clearly a Celtics fan. I don't hate IT.
