D-Will is snubbed again





Williams is so underrated it's frustrating and he should have made it to the all-star team the past two seasons but didn't.

You have to admit, it's pretty ridiculous that Deron Williams has never been an All-Star before. Everyone agrees that he's the second best point guard in the world, but he still doesn't get nearly the recognition he deserves. It's confusing.

I mean honestly! Tony Parker and Chauncey Billups were picked ahead of D-Will?

Some might argue that Williams wasn't picked because he missed the first couple of weeks of the season. But if you look at what he has done since he's been back, he has definitely been all-star worthy (PPG: 16.9; RPG: 2.80; APG: 10.2).

Oh well, at least the all-star game is just a show boaters dream and doesn't feature true basketball skills (like defense). We'll let those players risk injury and have their day of glory while D-Will and the rest of the Jazz are healing wounds and resting for the final push for a championship. Go Jazz. If any of the readers are basketball fans let me know what you think of D-Will being snubbed.

Bogus. What is with this second-best-point-guard-in-the-world stuff? D-Will is #1 thank you very much!

The bottom line, though, is that the Jazz need to play better on the road if they want to get the respects.

Yeah, I agree, they do struggle on the road. It will be very tough for them to win a title this year. But I'm hopeful nonetheless.

i know i tease you a lot about the jazz (i'm restraining myself from bringing up the most recent jazz/blazers game.. cough), but i agree. deron deserves more.

The team is just concerned for Larry H. Miller. D-Will doesn't give a rat's anus about going to the all-star game. He'd rather his good friend Larry overcome his type 2 and be at the home games in his khakis and polo. Seriously though, the Jazz organization is just in a lull. They'll pull through. Go Jazz!! Ian, how are you and Kyle? Did he sign your pink #26 jersey?
