Andre Miller doesn't think Blake Griffin deserves to be an All-Star

[LakersFan_33]

He basically calls him out for not making his teammates better, and not being a "blue collar" player. I would argue that it's difficult to make teammates better when they're just not that good, but everyone has their own opinion.

And I think Andre Miller is a washed up has-been who's butthurt LaMarcus Aldridge isn't going to be an all-star.

Griffin is a monster.. and an exciting one at that. Sure, he's a rookie and his team is awful, but Blake has a HoF career ahead of him if he stays healthy. Well deserved nomination, imo.

Maybe he should tweet that Jordan was just a scrub too.

I like that he's sticking up for his teammate:

Miller also said Griffin making his first All-Star team is a "slap in the face" to teammate LaMarcus Aldridge and that the league doesn't "appreciate the blue collar workers."

But I get the feeling, if the Clips offered up Blake Griffin for Lamarcus Aldridge, the Blazers would take that offer in a millisecond.  Doesn't that say something about which player is better Andre?

I have this feeling like Griffin has definitely made the Clippers better

I guess A.Miller 632 consecutive games played
 streak coming to a halt with the one game suspension after pushing Blake awhile back is still heavily on Andre's mind.I bet if i asked S.Fyre if KG deserves to be an All Star he would say i don't think so. Miller is a vet and should be bigger than that.

Strange comments ... understandable that A.Miller believes LaMarcus Aldridge is deserving of an All-Star place but why he picked out Blake Griffin, I do not know, and then choose to make those comments about Griffin ... peculiar (sounds a lot like an old vet who doesn't like a rookie getting attention to me).

The Clippers have played near .500 ball (18-20) since their poor start (1-9) to the season. This on a team that won 29 games last year and has had it's starting center (Chris Kaman) out injured for 80% of the season of the season so far ... and Blake Griffin is the biggest reason for the turnaround.

Blake Griffin is a clearly a deserving All-Star. He has had a fantastic season.

  I don't think they're any better with Griffin this year than they were with Camby last year.

Yes he has. Blake is changing the culture in Clipper land. They were playing much better until Gordon got hurt.

Blake is also very blue collar. He works really hard, to the point of having Odom tell him not to work so hard.

Miller is standing up for his teammate.  Since they're fighting for a playoff spot, I'd think he'd be glad that Frye is resting instead of risking injury in a meaningless pickup game. 

Miller is far from washed up.

God forbid Frye gets injured and risks Andre Miller's chances of taking Phoenix to the playoffs

He's singling out Griffin because of an earlier altercation between the two of them:

Well, Blake Griffin probably thinks Andre Miller is a has-been (or a never-was).

And he'd be inaccurate.
