Voted to the All-star game as a reserve by the COACHES, not the fans. This proves he didn't get in because of a popularity contest.
31 minutes a game, 18 pts, 9 rebs, and 1.6 blocks isn't too bad for a soon-to-be 37 Year old player with 16 years in the NBA.
And how about that 63% free throw shooting?
. The guy finally gets it that if he averages 60% at the free throw line, he can help his team immensely since he's not scoring in the low block as effectively as he used to. Imagine if he shot 60% in his prime years? He would have averaged 35 pts a game easy!
Well deserved spot, in my opinion. He's playing well and he committed himself to getting in better shape this season.
