Adam Silver

Ceremoniously adds Dwyane Wade and Dirk Nowitzki to the All-Star game... and leaves out Vince Carter?

• The eight-time All-Star?
• The greatest slam dunk champion in the history of the universe?
• The guy tied with Dirk, Kevin Garnett, Robert Parish, and Kevin Willis for most seasons ever played in the NBA?
• The guy about to pass Jerry West for 21st in career points (higher on the list than Wade)?
• The guy about to pass Jamal Crawford for sixth in career three-pointers made?
• The guy top-50 in steals, top-75 in assists, top-130 in blocks, and top-150 in rebounds?
• At 42, the oldest muthafuckin' guard (by a full year) to EVER play in the league -- an epic eight-team, 21-SEASON journey, the latter half of which was about not superstardom, but love for the game?
• That guy you didn't deem worthy of celebrating?

Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit.

Hey, and speaking of Crawford, how about inviting him too? Maybe let Jason Terry tag along. Or just forget the whole damn thing. For these guys, every road game the entire season is a farewell ceremony. That's probably enough.
