2013 NBA All-Star: Doors Opened For Monroe?

[GunFactor187]

Does Andrew Bynum's and Amar'e Stoudemire's respective injuries open the door for Monroe to his first All-Star game? Why or why not? Discuss.

It should really help, but I can't say for sure if he will make it since the national media likes to snub us lol. I think this could be Monroe's year though, I've got my fingers crossed.

[LionsFan..LOL]

I'd love for it to happen. Moose's play so far deserves some recognition.

Probably not. Nobody knows anyone on Detroit. He'd have to average like 30 ppg to get any recognition, they'll all just say "if he was on a good team his numbers would blow". It's a joke.

Along with Hibbert's horrible start and Dwight moving west. But I still see Joakim Noah or Brook Lopez stealing a spot from Monroe.

Edit: I don't understand how a 7 footer like Lopez is only averaging about 6 and a half rebounds though..kinda sad. Then there's also Al Horford.

If they wouldnt have got rid of the center spot from the all-star voting he would have a good shot but now i think hes still a year or two away because hes not a huge fan favorite household name around the league yet.
