Jazz's Williams may replace Kobe

cross your fingers everybody, We want D Will in.

Wake up people. The best point gaurd in the NBA not invited to the All Star game is not Deron Williams. Deron Williams is a real good point gaurd, but he is not in the same league as Baron Davis. Davis when on his game is the best point gaurd in the league and he has been on his game enough this year to deserve all star status over Williams.

Any way who cares about the all star game. We want a championship and Williams plays better when he's playing snubbed.

Open the hands towards to the God and wish Deron to be in there. GO DERON

As much as I want williams in I think T-mac has a better chance.

Come on Stern pick D Will!!! Go Jazz!

Jimmy agrees with Jazz fan in that if the league replaces Kobe it will be with Boom Dizzle not DWill. Stern loves to pick people to be more inclusive of all teams and since the 'Dubs don't have a representative at the game yet it will be the determining factor in adding him over DWill. The only thing that might change that is if Kobe waits to long to decide and the league picks DWill because he is already in town and Baron isn't. Frankly, Jimmy thinks they are both more deserving that David West, who is the person really stealing the spot.

The bigger news here is that Kobe will either play the rest of the year injured OR get surgery and miss about 6 weeks. That is huge in the ever tight west! If Kobe missed 6 weeks, and with Bynum out most of the regular season, the Lakers could quite possibly miss the playoffs. Jimmy doesn't like how the Jazz match up with the Lakers this year and hopes we don't have to see them in the playoffs.

I hope DWill gets in it would be great for him and the JAZZ.

Dwill "not in the same leaguge" as Davis?

@ Jimmy...I usually agree with everything you say, but I do disagree with your idea of how Stern picks his all-stars "to be more inclusive of all teams"...well, Rasheed Wallace and Ray Allen are his picks in the East and I think the Pistons and Celts are already well represented.

@ Jazz Fan, I agree that Baron Davis is an awesome basketball player, but he is out of control. In my very-biased opinion, I think D-Will is a better PG because he is under control, he runs an efficient offense, better passer, better dribbler, and better mind for the game. Baron certainly is exciting and keeps things moving, but he can't set up a half-court offense. I'll take D-Will over Davis.

Getting DWill in now is just a slap in the face. He should have been on the roster before now.

Who are the idiots who say that Baron Davis and T-Mac will go ahead of Williams? Did anyone watch the playoff last year? or see how Deron has dominated every point gaurd (including several thrashings of Baron)? Or did you not read T-Mac say that he doesn't believe he deserves to be there because of injuries and all? Come on people. Get it together.
On another note, it would be interesting to see if Deron can crank up the intenstity similar to when he was snubbed last year (when he probably deserved it more). Be nice to know, because he's going to get in sooner or later. Iverson and Nash are both on their way out, so that leaves a much thinner field for him to compete against. Heck, without those two this year, he's not even a questionable, he's a definite.
And in response to Jimmy S...you're right, the bigger story is if Koby can play at the same level as before with a torn pinky in his shooting hand. If it was his off hand, I'd say he's fine, but it's not, so...could get interesting (as if it wasn't already!)

Sorry but Baron Davis is not the best point guard in the league! Deron Williams is statistically the second best in the league right now, he should have been on the all-star roster from day one! Bottom Line.

Deron Williams lost his chance to be an all-star when the Jazz went 5-11 in December and lost 3 out of 4 to Portland. If the Jazz had been going 18-3 during the period the decisions were really being made, things might have turned out differently.

If you allow the fans in Denver or elsewhere to stuff the ballot box, then the all-star game will always be skewed--a reflection of popularity rather than performance.

sneekers,hooo is boom dizle ??? thanks

Who was that baby throwing elbows at Fisher in defeat last year as he team was beaten down by the Jazz. Who watched Williams dominate every game and lead his team with great shooting and timely assists? Baron Davis is a has been who has one good game in ten. He whines every play he is on the court and doesn't have half the talent of Williams. If you ever watched basketball you would see that. Every gm in the NBA would take williams in a second over Davis.

To the T-mac lover are you kidding me. Yao leads that team and T-mac tries to lose every game with his sixty shots per game that he jacks up. There is a reason T-mac has never made it past the first round in the playoffs.

deron killed chris paul when they played a while ago deron deserves it.

Wake up Jazz fans. The best point guard not to make the all star game is Stephon Marbury. Put him one on one with any point guard in the league and he would win. I no he isn't in the west but he is the best pg. Marbury has mad skillz.

rumor out here in D-town Thugnuggs have offered Najera and #1 pick for ....you quessed it another thug ron "thug" artest

Wow, that takes lots of courage backing up Stephon Marbury. He led the league in turn overs before he was sidelined for being a baby! Williams might not score as much as others, maybe not as many assists as Nash, fewer steals than other guys. He is the most consistent guard in the entire NBA, he's fundamental and smart. He may not be fortunate enought to get to the all-star game this year but he is an all-star. Anybody who knows basketball will know that.

You're right Jazz Fan, Deron is not in the same league as Baron, and thank goodness for that. The NBA already has enough flopping, crying, whining, dirty, out-of-control playing punks. Thank you for pointing out that Deron is definately not in that league....
