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:
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.

Dear J-Rich,
The only
bright spot to this tumultuous 12 year train wreck is you. Thank you
for all the wonderful memories and even though your gone(to another
team), you're not forgotten. You will always be in our hearts.

At first glance, this really looks like a bad idea. Then it hit me like a bad three pointer bouncing off the backboard...if we get Webber, we would finally look like a real NBA team! Baron Davis, Monta Ellis, Steven Jackson, Chris Webber, and Andris Beidrins.
Four players on the court that can do really well in the half court set when the game slows down and that can go man-to-man against their defender. The problem with the dubs is that they have trouble with the zone defense. That was evident last night against the Knicks. With Chris Webber on the team, they don't have to worry about the zone because he can pass out of it even when they double team him. We don't Webber to score because we have enough scorers on the team. The problem with Andris Beidrins is he gets no help whats so ever. Al Harrington is allergic to rebounds but when he's on fire, its kind of hard to remove him from the floor; That and inconsistent play. With Chris Webber, you know your getting help on the glass and some good passes here and there. Other than Monta Ellis and Boom Dizzle, theres no one who can shoot the mid range jumper. If Webber can get his shooting touch back, then that would a huge plus IMHO.
Plus, he can teach some of our younger bigs the fundamentals of being a big player in the NBA. As a basketball fan, even I can see the positives of signing Chris Webber out weighs the negative. The one big negative is that he might ruin Jason Richardson return to Oakland on Friday.
Anyway, heres a motivational song for C-Webb as he returns to the Dubs!

Word on the street says Golden State Warriors coach Don Nelson has been
seen at Chris Webber's Natomas restaurant, Center Court with C-Webb,
twice recently. That only could mean Webber and Nelson are considering
the completion of the ultimate full circle and a Webber return to
Golden State along with Gary Payton.
