Iverson edges McGrady
This could be a good thing or a bad thing depending on how you look at it.
Good news, McGrady is out and Iverson is in, creating another guarenteed spot for a guard. Baron Davis takes the spot and ends yet another draught of a Warrior not making the All Star Game.
Bad news, Baron loses rest and risks possible injury attending and playing in the game instead of taking much needed days off for a rest.
So now that AI's in, is Baron a shoe-in?
There's Nash, CP3, Kobe for sure. B Roye may be another possible. Manu, Tony, Deron probably don't make it.
Call me stupid (please don't) but there is no possible way they can exempt Baron this year. Will he get snubbed?

Charles Barkley didnt even mention Baron Davis, but said that Mr. Jackson deserves to go.

amazingly good news for Baron's all star chances
I don't really think the all-star game presents significant injury risk. It's one extra game where he'll probably play something like 20 minutes, and they will be easy minutes because no one will be playing defense.

I wish i could say Baron is gonna be an allstar...
steve nash, and chris paul are basically gaurenteed to be allstar reserves, and those are the only to spots for a guard. And even if some how chris paul didnt get picked by the coaches, brandon roy would likely be the next candidate, followed by baron. but with the coaches voting maybe they will be able to pick the real allstar out of those four, and vote baron for 08*. im crossing my fingers, but it doesnt look to good.

Baron over Roy

this probably does nothing for baron
nash, cp3 are shoe-ins and for one of the wild card spots (the 2nd one will probably go to a big) roy & ginobili are probably going to get more consideration than baron b/c of the better team records. deron's probably out b/c of the record as well. parker is unlikely to go over manu.
stoudemire, nowitzki, boozer are shoe-ins for the back up center and 2 back up fwd spots w/ either camby, josh howard, marion, west, or chandler probably getting a wild card spot.. gasol & kaman likely won't get consideration b/c of their team's records.
it also hurts baron that they were 1-6 w/o sjax. there's no way the team would go 25-12 if baron wasn't there, but it definitely won't help him.

it does do something for Baron
Reasoning is that coaches will choose Baron over T-Mac, but they will choose AI over Baron.

B Roy is good but
Unfortunately, someone else will probably get the nod over BD, because some coaches hold a grudge over BD which is absolutely ridiculous -- guys like George Karl, Byron Scott -- good coaches, but to not vote a dude in just because of a stupid grudge? Come on man, these are adults here. Gimme a break! For BD not to make it would be blasphemy. Pure and simple.
