Utah Jazz notebook: Gordon Hayward has All-Star aspirations — like Pacers' Paul George
"It's my ninth season in the league. I've been in the situation before. In Minnesota, I didn't make it ... (and) I used to be mad," the Jazz center said. "But then I realized who they want in there is going to be in there, so I just don't worry about it."
Big Al believes Golden State has the most legitimate gripe with the All-Star announcement.
"I thought Stephen Curry should've got in, too," said Jefferson, who thought David Lee's selection was justified and who also considered Marc Gasol an All-Star-worthy player.
"Top five team in the West, averaging 20," he said of Curry. "I think he should've got in. Maybe next time."

Paul George would look good in our line up right now. I love Hayward, but I wonder if we made the right move here. Of course if George was playing for the Jazz he wouldn't be an all star right now. Not too many teams get the shaft more than the More..
CTJ, you're right that Paul George wouldn't make the All-Star team this year had we drafted him, but it's because he wouldn't be getting the minutes. Marvin Williams and Randy Foye would still be siphoning off 52 minutes a game More..
I agree with you Elliott....i think...the opportunities Paul George has...is better than Hayward...and there wasnt a deron williams who would bully him with a bullet pass on the court...and a so-called coach who is more inclined to playing overrated More..
