NBA All-Star reserves will be announced Thursday and whether it was his way of declining an invitation to play before even being invited, actually being self aware or some combination of both, Dallas Mavericks forward Dirk Nowitzki says he doesn't deserve to be an All-Star.
"Averaging whatever, 15, 16 points, I don't think you should be an All-Star," Nowitzki said. "But we'll just have to wait and see. I think there is a lot of great young talent in this league that deserves to go. I think LaMarcus Aldridge has been stiff the last couple of years. He's a great young player, fun to watch. You know Blake and Love are playing great. There is a lot of talent at my position."
So Dirk doesn't think he should be an All-Star and I probably agree with that. He's right that Kevin Love and LaMarcus Aldridge both deserve the nods over him. Coaches are supposed to pick two guards, two forwards, a center and two wild cards. Paul Milsap is playing better than Dirk and Utah is playing about as well as Dallas and there's still a guy like Pau Gasol. So Dirk being left off the All-Star team wouldn't be the biggest crime.
