The only possible reason that I can think of why Baron Davis was left out of the all star team is because of George Karl and Byron Scott's ill will towards Baron Davis and the Golden State Warriors. George Karl has a separate beef with the Warriors because he was basically ousted from here when he coached.
And we all know that Byron Scott hates Baron Davis but think about this, If Baron Davis didn't ask to be traded, Byron Scott wouldn't be coaching in the league and Chris Paul would not be on the Hornets.
This move is a blatant disrespect towards the Golden State Warriors franchise and their star player. These two fools for a coach finally got their revenge.
Not only is Baron Davis playing at an all-star level, he does far much more for the community of New Orleans than any player on the Hornets roster including Byron Scott.
Kudos to those fools of a coach (Karl, McMillian, Scott) for disrespecting the Golden State Warriors franchise and not recognizing anyone from the team.
Baron Davis is not the one to campaign for himself like some players(i.e, chris bosh) and he is the only renaissance man in the NBA. Here's a quote from Boom Dizzle:
"I'm just not the one to campaign for myself. I do what I've got to do on the court, try to get better and make sure that my team is winning. The respect of my peers is more important than anything, and the respect of my teammates. I'm not one to kind of look at the All-Star game and say that I gotta get there, or I deserve it."
As a coach, I don't blame Nate McMillan for campaigning for his player but making asinine comments about the Warriors and Baron Davis, especially when they won't even make the playoffs, is very very sad.
Here's what he said:
"For me Davis, and their (Golden State's) record is not ours. Of course he's a had a pretty good year. But if you look at the numbers and you look at the record, which I think you should, nobody expected us to be here. But I don't think Baron should be in the running with what Brandon has done and what this team has done."
Nate, are you serious? Have you looked at the standings lately?
All I can say is this can only fuel the fire that burns in Oracle Arena.
