Carlos Boozer Deserves To Be An All-Star

[bulldog1205]

Carlos Boozer wanted to be an All-Star. Unfortunately the coaches didn’t agree. But did they make the right decision? We would like to think coaches are more knowledgeable than the fans and picking the all-star reserves isn’t simply a popularity contest. Sadly, this isn’t the case. They may be some of the greatest basketball minds in the NBA (in some cases), but the numbers suggest they don’t know how to choose the most deserving players.

It's basically just a side by side statistical comparison of Boozer and the 2 reserve power forwards. There really isn't much of an argument for Bosh over Boozer. Garnett and Boozer are debatable but Garnett was probably the right choice there.

The thing that hurt him is he missed time.. But even with missing time he's still more deserving then Garnett, Bosh and Horford.

He did miss time, but he still played in 2/3 of the game. It isn't like he has only been playing for 2 weeks. Bosh and Garnett both missed a few games as well. I don't really agree Boozer should get in over Garnett, but he should definitely be in over Bosh. He has better numbers across the board.
