Dirk Nowitzki over Anthony Davis/Demarcus Cousins and Joe Johnson over Lance Stephenson/Kyle Lowry, what a joke.
Your post is the joke. Nowitzki is playing out of his mind, Lillard is the most egregious pick in the West, followed by Parker (which makes the biggest snub Goran Dragic, who has been much much better). Unfortunately there is a ridiculous logjam with the bigs, especially because Love, Aldridge, Griffin, Davis, Cousins, and Nowitzki are
all top 10 offensive players this season (the only other contenders for top 10 are basically Lebron/Durant/CP3 as usual, with Anthony & Curry floating around in there somewhere). Anyway out of all those players, of course the ones on the losing teams are going to be the ones who probably get snubbed, you do not even have to get to star power as the reason, but that would have decided it in Nowitzki's player unless the Hornets or Kings were maybe 10 wins ahead of the Mavericks.
Dirk is playing out of his fucking mind (tossing up nearly a 50/40/90, which means nothing if a player is scoring 12 ppg, but means a ridiculous amount when a guy is scoring 20+). IIRC only Bird several times, Nash a couple of times, Dirk once, and Durant once have hit those levels.
In the end, I do not know if you are reacting to something that happened since the initial list, but I think Davis will make the game over someone injured & Cousins will get entirely snubbed.
@ the Joe Johnson part, I have no idea how it even happened, but the eastern list is a joke in general this year, he is not the only terrible all star to come out of the 2014 east
