It's our birthday, so we're obviously an All-Star,* but among The Association's equivalents there were several fresh-faced selections that were told to "get their game on, go play." A half-dozen newbies, one practically a baby, will have reason to rejoice like LeBron James did while visiting the residence at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue: "Mama, I made it!"
Six, all substitutes chosen by the coaches, were first-time selections, including James Harden, who will have the honor of hooping in his home arena, since the game is being held in Houston. The other five hail from the East, where defenders Tyson Chandler and Joakim Noah were picked to engage in an exhibition in which D is faked more poorly than Beyonce singing at the Inaguration^. Kyrie Irving, at the tender age of 20, might be made to sit at the kids' table, considering he isn't allowed adult beverages yet.
Rajon Rondo, voted a starter by the fans, whose dynamic dishing was almost designed for the gaudy game, will have to be replaced. Although we say the spot should belong to big like Brook Lopez or jammin' Josh Smith, if the commish goes with another guard, the flashy Brandon Jennings or the foxy Paul Pierce (to be clear, we mean cunning, not cute) are adequate alternates, but what about a magnanimous man in D.C., who convivially communicated to LeBron, "It's your world." The President graciously gave LeBron the floor, why not return the favor?
