Kevin Love was not selected to play in the rookie-sophomore game on all star weekend.

Since Love is my leading candidate for rookie of the year, I view that as a glaring omission.

I can't believe he wasnt! I suppose there are only ten roster spots available and looking at the list, there's noone selected who doesn't deserve a spot. I might have selected Love over Gasol but I still think Marc deserves a spot.

On a side note; I could watch Kevin Love Outlet pass all day. My oh my does he have a strong arm!

Love should be a candidate for RoY but he isn't.

Not surprising he didn't get selected for the rookie game at All Star weekend. He hasn't been getting credit for his good play all season.

Thanks. Tough choices, there were quite a few rookies deserving.

Trading Mayo for Love was a mammoth sized error by McHale.

Here's a comparison between Love, Gasol, Lopez, and Oden:  Link.

They're all pretty equal.  Love probably gets knocked down a bit for his shooting percentage, but he's also the best rebounder.  Oden could be argued to be the worst of the four players right now, but the NBA isn't going to leave him off the team, for obvious reasons.

No, it was a mammoth sized error by Wallace.  Love is a winner.  Mayo is a selfish gunner who will put up individual numbers but never win anything until he learns about sharing the ball.

And that's why MN is winning and Memphis is losing, losing, losing.  And don't tell me that MN has more talent.  It doesn't.  Sure, the Wolves have Jefferson, but the Grizz have Rudy Gay, plus THREE point guards who are better than Telfair.

I respectfully disagree with all the points you made. Regardless of position, Mayo is a better player than Love will ever be.

mmm, Gasol is having a solid year, but how many GMs would take Gasol over Love if they were drafting between the two...

Love should really be in the game. They only picked ONE PF in Beasley.

I don't have an opinion on who he should replace, but the 4th most effecient rebounder in the entire NBA should not be left out of this game.

  A 20 year old rookie that's a top 5 rebounder in the league is nothing to sneeze at, especially considering that he spends most of his time playing with another strong rebounder (Jefferson). People are writing him off awfully early.

Should be in. Stats don't make justice to this kind of player though. Funny episode to writers to use in the future.

An interesting article on Love's rebounding:
