An Assist From Magic Is a Gift for Kareem

I can only express my disgust at NBA Commissioner David Stern for his selection of Kareem to the All-Star game. What a shame that young point guard stars like Keven Johnson and Fat Lever had to miss the show (because) a sentimental commissioner picked someone so clearly past his prime.

Kareem showed a lot of class in admitting he was not deserving of the All-Star game. Too bad the NBA couldn’t have shown equally good judgment and selected someone who was.
