Wow the NBA picks an All-Star from a Winning team to be a reserve over one that is on a losing team. This is brand new stuff guys. Brand hasn't made it before for similar reasons. He's rediculously good, doesn't mean he has to make the all-star team.

Ray Allen made it because their aren't a plethora of great guards in the West. In the West there are ton of great 4s. They took one off the division leading team that lost it's only spot due to injuries. This is the norm in the NBA.
