It may have taken a hamstring injury from Brandon Roy, but Chris Kaman is going to represent the Los Angeles Clippers in Dallas for this weekend’s All-Star game. The Clippers big man was selected by David Stern as a replacement for the injured Roy. Kaman is having a career-season for the 21-29 Clippers, averaging 20 points and nine rebounds a game.
Many people felt Kaman, who wasn’t even listed on the All-Star ballots, was one of the league’s top snubs. Chauncey Billups was also in the same company, but thanks to Chris Paul’s injury, Billups will also be joining Kaman in Dallas.
Injuries generally come through to help out the league’s most notorious snubs, especially over the past few seasons.
Good to see Kaman get his first nod, but it’d be nicer to see the Clippers get some wins and make a push towards the eighth seed out West.
